 | Ground Rules
Also known as 'agreements' or 'guidelines,' ground rules are guidelines for discussion that participants agree to try to abide by during a dialogic or deliberative process. Ground rules are meant create a safe space for all participants. These may be presented by the facilitator and then added to by participants, or the participants may come up with them themselves. Common ground rules are "use 'I' statements," "practice active listening," "respect confidentiality," and "try not to interrupt."
