TED x Singapore Collaboration

“As a visual facilitator with a background in user experience (UX) and spatial design, IAF’s collaboration with TEDxSingapore gave me the creative space to work with our network of facilitators to design a space to spark creative conversations with the community. It was an eye opening experience for myself and the facilitators involved”

“I found it an enriching experience to participate in facilitating for the TEDxSingapore project. Being exposed to different facilitation tools, medium and more experienced facilitators allowed for a (literally) colourful smorgasbord of ideas, energy and inspiration. The IAF members who organized it were professional and kept us updated. Would recommend participating in future events with IAF.”

The IAF-TEDx ground-up conversation is a great platform for any facilitator who wants to apply large-group participatory process/dialogue from start to finish – from engaging with the client, designing and exploring with different methods, collaborating with fellow facilitators to deliver a meaningful and joyful experience. Most gratifying for me is the learning, discovery and the seeds of potential transformation that we can plant as facilitator when we step up for the sake of participation.


These final words from of one of the participants, will continue to inspire my practice:


“I was surprised that we could move from our own individual worldview (of what happiness stands for) to a meta level view and the possibility to generate concrete actions to spark systems level change.”
