Resources
Tips, tools, and actionable information to support your Good Work.
Collaboration, cooperation, imagination, shared leadership, mindfulness, and personal growth are all practices that collectively move us towards Just Transition. In this Resources area, we aim to support you on your journey by providing options and explorations that range from info-packed articles to facilitation plans to stories, sharing insights we have learned through our own work. Browse how-to guidance on approaches to try and outside resources that we have found useful in rejecting extractive practices and embracing new ways of doing and being.
Explore our first collection of resources – Good Work in Groups – in support of effective facilitation and fruitful collaboration!

We Recommend
Here are three resources we often turn to for inspiration and ideas to facilitate regenerative, collaborative spaces. There are more recommendations within the posts we have published as part of the Good Work in Groups collection. If you have a favorite resource you’d like to share with us, please let us know.
Liberating Structures – Liberating Structures are easy-to-learn microstructures which can replace more controlling or constraining approaches and enhance relational coordination and trust. They quickly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include everyone and unleash creativity.
Headwaters Facilitation Training Program – Headwaters trains, mentors, and coordinates emerging facilitators in AORTA’s core facilitation principles (AORTA – Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance).
Community at Work – Publications by the creators of The Facilitator’s Guide to Participatory Decision-Making, an extraordinarily helpful guide to becoming a more inclusive and effective facilitator.
A working group forms when a small group of people gather to commit to collective learning, action or practice. To be effective, the group must be built on a foundation of skilled collaboration. We know that collaboration is not an automatic result of a desire to work together well, but flows from intentional, ongoing practices that develop the awareness and capacities of the members of the working group over time.
Explore these tips and tools to support the design and facilitation of effective, healthy, collaborative working groups. These resources are appropriate for any group of people who are joining together to advance an area of work or learning together, from activist initiatives to campaign huddles to community members taking on a local project.
