Groups should have taken a break before trainers reconvene the total group. The intent of this part of the activity is to give participants the opportunity to talk about their effort to apply the joint problem-solving framework, both in terms of the content of their work and the process they used. Trainers will need to decide beforehand if this will be done with the full group or in 2 groups to allow for more participation. Make sure each small group has the chance to contribute to the discussion. B. Potential obstacles Engage participants in a brainstorming exercise to generate a list of potential obstacles to applying joint problem solving.
Record responses on newsprint.
For these obstacles, ask participants to identify what can be done to address them. Let participants know that they have resource material on potentialobstacles to joint problem-solving in the participant manual. Make the point that it may be easy to go back to our traditional ways of handling conflict-especially when we encounter the obstacles we've talked about. Provide a summary of what has been covered in the workshop. Remind participants of the glossary and the list of references in their manual.
