The Art of Hosting - A Pattern Map Example
Channel: GroupWorksDeck
Date: 2014-04-07

This video is an edited 10-minute conversation facilitated by Janaia Donaldson and filmed by Robin Mallgren of PeakMoment.tv, featuring Chris Corrigan explaining the Art of Hosting, which offers seminars on better facilitation, and Dave Pollard of the Group Pattern Language Project introducing Group Works, a 91-card deck of exemplary patterns of group activities that is now being used as a practice tool by over 2,000 professional facilitators worldwide. 
The video "maps" the conversation as it proceeds: The viewer can see the Group Works cards for the patterns that are being discussed or invoked, being "played" into a tableau or map of the conversation. In the process, the purpose of the cards and their use in the field are explained through the conversation.
