Publication: On the Art of Moderating

On the Art of Moderating

In this booklet I share my insights into the art of moderating, based on ten years’ experience.

How do you prepare for your role as moderator? How do you create a safe setting for participants? By which means do you steer a discussion? Wat is the power of truly listening? What do you do when tensions rise? Which setting supports the goal of a meeting best? These and other questions are addressed in this publication.

I hope it provides you with inspiration. A great deal of what I can tell you has been given to me by my teachers, my students, my colleagues and by the participants of the dialogues, debates, conferences, community consultations, and participation processes that I have moderated over the years. I am grateful to all of them.
