Overview
This group developed out of the team that set up and ran the Utrecht IAF Conference in 1999 and the Soesterberg IAF Conference in 2002.
Overview
Besides promoting and exchanging professional expertise, the main mission of the association is to raise awareness about facilitation and its contribution in improved efficiency and a higher level of democracy. We have monthly "Facilitators' Club" meetings with lectures and discussions, and hold annual assembly meetings to approve Annual Reports and work programs.
Overview
ZHABA is a collective of facilitators with a special focus on Central and Eastern Europe. The group does keep contact with other facilitators in the region. The group was started in 1995 and meets irregularly, planned now once a year. ZHABA is a foundation under Dutch law. It functions like a collective with a focus on the non-profit sector. People find out about the meeting on the Web-site, mouth to mouth advertisement, irregular mailings, and through the IAF. On the ZHABA website there are a lot of materials especially of interest for Central and Eastern Europeans. Some of the materials are in local languages.
