=== The role of the facilitator(s) ===
The facilitator(s) main role is to:
#'''Welcome attendees''' and make them feel at home;
#'''explain the rules of interaction/movement '''for everyone to be on the same page. This is best done by doing a demo (from which you may need the assistance of a couple of volunteers). You can demostrate first how NOT to apply the Rule of The Two Feet (essentially interrupting the conversation and apologizing before leaving), and then how to do it (just leaving;)
#'''help create the agenda. '''For this part the facilitator(s) will provide large post-it notes (or letter sized paper), and markers; invite anyone who wants to propose a topic to headline it on a post-it, and form a line. Once everyone is ready, each person in line will read out their topic to the whole group, and hand the post it to the facilitator(s), who will assign it to a room (or easel). This will be done by placing the post-it on a pre-arranged grid on a wall or board. The facilitator(s) may combine topics that are similar (with the express agreement of the proponents). This also helps if there are more proposed topics than spaces (in any case it's always good to have a couple additional spaces or boards/easels at hand.) Once the agenda has been created, the facilitator will announce the beginning of the unconference (and they can participate in whichever conversation they are interested in.)
#At the end of the unconference time (note that there could be one or several time blocks), the facilitator(s) will '''moderate the shareout''' from the groups that are still standing and want to share.
