Expert panel<br />
Throughout the session, the facilitators capture the essence of the<br />
answers on cards and pin them on boards behind the experts. After<br />
the interview the facilitators help the participants cluster the answers<br />
and clarify their understanding of any vague ideas with the resource<br />
person's input. The information can then be used in group work or<br />
can be used as a reference for participants in the main processes of the<br />
workshop.<br />
Remarks: Before you start the expert interview be sure the participants<br />
know the specialty of the "expert". Also clarify and visualize the topic of<br />
the interview. Allow adequate flexibility in the topic question(s) to cater to<br />
the needs and interests of the participants. The technique is quite creative<br />
and interactive due to the spontaneous questions and answers. After the<br />
interview a decision may be made to restructure the agenda of an event<br />
because of the interest areas expressed by participants.<br />
This technique is normally used at the beginning of a group event and can<br />
be used to involve people who come, expecting to give a speech or lecture<br />
and are disappointed to find there is no podium. However, it should not be<br />
overused or it will destroy the participatory nature of the workshop and<br />
divide "experts" from others.<br />
