Superhero shoutouts: Methods Library

IAF is fuelled by a passion for facilitation and also by the energies of people who choose to volunteer. It is this same passion and gift of time which has brought us to the point where we were able to launch the revived library of methods, in partnership with SessionLab. This was made possible because of the skill and dedication of a team of volunteers who have been diligently working through all the methods in the old database to check they are up to the mark for the new platform. We would like to take this opportunity to publicly recognise and appreciate their contribution so far. Ably led by Jennifer Otitigbe (USA), the team is Jo Nelson (Canada), Farah Shahed (India), Ulla Wyckoff Tomlinson (Jamaica), Lisa Baril (Canada) and Elizabeth Mcdonnell (UK). Indispensable to the project were also the contributions of Martin Farrell (UK) and Robert Cserti and Filip Kiš from SessionLab.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have made and are making a substantial contribution to the global community of practice.
