Welcome to the IAF Methods Database

This site is intended for professional facilitators and is dedicated to online and face-to-face methods for creating, leading and following up group meetings.

You need to register to access all sections of this site. Registration is free. As a registered user you have access to the Research and the Downloads section, and to a free newsletter. There's a comments section per method for in depth discussions. You can download files, query the methods list or view FAQ's. As a registered user you may add your own methods to this database.

More resources can be found on the IAF World website: Journals, Articles, Pamphlets, IAF Store, Facilitation Primer, Conference Proceedings and more.

The IAF Methods Database server has been upgraded recently. Some sections are still unavailable and there are issues to be solved. No need to report problems for now as we're working on the site. Thank you for your patience.
