To have a shared understanding of health problems, people need to talk to each other. A guided discussion is a way for a group of people to talk to each other and to ask and answer specific questions.
Many tools are available to make people talk to each other : The “But why…?” activity (see pages 7, 12, 38, 48, and 422) is one kind of guided discussion. Drawings for Discussion (see pages 59 and 260) and Body mapping (see page 266) are also kinds of guided discussions.
The person who guides the discussion is sometimes called a facilitator or animator. The role of the facilitator is to make sure each person participates to the best of his or her ability, and to help make sure the discussion or activity leads to action.
