7/24 BITES
The participant’s role in a social learning space
This module is a part of a larger collection of bite-sized learning on facilitating social learning spaces.
This collection of learning bites was created by Danida Fellowship Centre together with Beverly and Etienne Wenger-Trayner and produced by Grape and Brand By Hand. Photos used in the collection were taken by @Crawfurd Media, @E Pictures Media Ltd, @Daniel Samwel and Danida Fellowship Centre, supplemented with Stock Photos.
Reflection exercise
You’ve just heard Beverly and Etienne talk about the importance of bringing your challenges into a social learning space. It’s a place where you – and anyone else who can relate to your challenge – stand to benefit.
30-second reflection:
Think about a time when a colleague or peer asked you to help them explore a challenge — not just for a quick fix, but to think it through.
- What did they ask you to help with?
- How did you respond?
- Did you learn anything from the conversation?
Work document

We acknowledge that it might feel challenging to engage your uncertainty in a social learning space.
You can hear more about the challenge of bringing your uncertainties into the room in the module about “The facilitator’s role”.
