Appreciation Feedback
This Feedback tool focuses on sharing appreciation and curiosity about each other. Regular, safe feedback is one of the most important ingredients in building constructive relationships and thriving community groups.
Feedback exercises aim to support groups to build trust and openness and for individuals to gain self-awareness. Feedback should always be conducted with thoughtfulness and care. Your group will need at least some experience of working together, as a basis for giving feedback.
Group Size: 2 - 40+ (organise into smaller sub groups if you have more than 5 people)
