Facilitation
i4J offers in-person and virtual facilitation services.
i4J is a design hub that creates capacity for communities to work together. We bring diverse system actors to the table to align potentially divergent interests toward a shared vision for justice. The design hub’s role is to build trust, prevent harm, and advance productive conversation and decision-making.
i4J offers facilitation for events, conferences, convenings, work groups, commissions and more. Working with the i4J design hub can advance creative and productive solution-building:
Application of human-centered design and systems thinking methods through participatory action research
Building trust with systemically disinvested communities
Gathering information through a trusted intermediary
Thoughtful identification and engagement of system actors in the community
Synthesis of information gathered from diverse perspectives into a comprehensible narrative.
Identification of barriers and opportunities in the existing system
Productive of useful and usable reports and deliverables to document the changemaking process
