The stated purpose of this network is to "share a passion for facilitation and participatory practices in pursuit of better communication, understanding, collaboration and learning in workplaces, communities and the world at large."
(Not a bad ideal by any standards).
It achieves this through:
- the AFN email list (moderated by Bob Dick at Southern Cross University)
- local networking sessions
- AFN Annual Conference
- shared resources
I'm a member of the network so I stand to be accused of bias but I think its a great resource for anybody interested in community development generally and facilitation particularly.
More information is available on the AFN Website.
