Ground Rules
Individually, decide what ground rules all participants and the facilitator must adhere to during the workshop? For example, one of the ground rules I would like all participants and the facilitator must adhere to is to ensure that once anyone has entered the workshop room, he or she must switch his or her mobile to vibrate or silent to avoid rings from the mobile phone from disturbing others.

Once you have listed a couple of ground rules down, pair up with another participant and discuss whether both of you can come to be compromise as to which of the ground rules you have discussed are worth bringing to the attention of others in the plenary session.}}

Expectations
Now, what I would like you to do is individually decide what you would like to expect and achieve after this workshop. Take a few minutes now to write down what you would like to expect and achieve at the end of this workshop. Once you have completed your individual work, then pair up with another participant and discuss whether your expectations are the same as your friend. Note the common expectations to present to the whole group in a plenary session to identify the common group expectations. This list of expectations will be written on a chart and placed at the back of the workshop room and revisited after the end of each day of the workshop to check if the group expectations have been met or not.}}
