Events are often shaped by the physical facilities in which they take place.
A large and flexible space is usually the best for participatory group events.
If the participants go home each day, the workshop process will be
interrupted and the process will have to be initiated again every
morning. If their office is close at hand, there exists the danger that
participants will be bothered by phone calls and other interruptions
which will affect their concentration and dedication to the objective
of the workshop.
The logistics of the event should be tackled by administrators, not by
facilitators because the latter have to concentrate on the methodological
process. Nevertheless, lodging and food are important factors and if
not up to the expectations of participants, their mood will be affected,
thereby affecting the group process. The facilitators should advise on
these factors only.
