==23. Setting up a room for training==
===Deciding how to organise the room===
*What sort of atmosphere do you want to create?
*What activities will participants be doing – reading, talking, presenting, using computers, role plays, and small group work?
*What equipment and visual aids will be needed?
*Will there be much freedom of movement needed?
*Will the layout need to change during the day?
*Will it be important to have a surface for writing notes or using a computer?
*Where will the facilitator mostly need to be?
*Will you want to sit or stand for most of the time?
*Can you maintain eye contact with participants?
*Will everyone be able to hear and see the facilitator?
*Can everyone easily leave the room in case of a telephone call or other reason?

===Different classroom configurations===
====Boardroom====
Long, heavy rectangular or oval table with seats all around.

'''Positives'''
*Working desk space
*Participants can get up easily and present at front or leave room if necessary
*Good access for facilitator to stand behind and see computer screens or other work

'''Negatives'''
*Tables often impossible to move or change
*Doesn’t allow for flexible use of room
*Gives a formal aspect to the room and participants associate it with meetings

====Theatre style====
Rows of chairs with or without tables with participants all facing the front.

'''Positives'''
*Efficient use of space because you can usually fit more people into a room.
*Allows for some flexible use of the room if the tables are not too difficult to move or if there are not too many people in the room.
*Everyone is facing the front.
*Trainer can see people reasonably easily and can see who is asking questions.

'''Negatives'''
*People can’t see each other
*Participants cannot get up easily and present at front or leave room if necessary
*Gives a formal aspect to the room and participants associate it with lectures or presentation. Makes for a passive atmosphere.
*Poor access for facilitator to stand behind and see computer screens or other work
*Facilitator can’t move around easily

====Cabaret or café style====
A number of tables around the room with participants seated around the tables in small even-sized groupings.

'''Positives'''
*Gives an informal, group work feel to the room
*People are automatically in groups.
*Excellent for setting a tone for participatory approach and discussion
*Easy for facilitator to move around and interact with groups.
*The focus is less on the ‘trainer’ and more on the learners.
*Flexible in terms of regrouping participants.
*Tables for participants to work on.

'''Negatives'''
*Not easy to determine the ‘front’ or presentation area
*Some people may not face the trainer all the time, others will have to move their chairs a little
*Sometimes makes whole class discussion difficult because not everyone is facing the right way all the time.
*Takes up a lot of room.
*Allows for side conversations which can be distracting.
*Difficult to get everyone’s attention at the same time so may need a special bell etc

====U-shape (with tables)====
Tables arranged in a U shape around a central presentation area. This U can be narrow (for a long thin room) or wide for a larger room.

'''Positives'''
*Allows for good full group discussion
*People have tables to rest on.
*Good for setting a tone for participatory approach and discussion
*Facilitator is easily seen.
*People can usually see each other well.
*People can bring their chairs into the central area for group work if necessary.

'''Negatives'''
*Some people sitting sideways on to facilitator and the screen.
*Can be reasonably formal.
*Can be very awkward if the room is long and see you properly or participants can’t move around
*Takes up a lot of room.
*Facilitator can get stuck up the front.

====U-shape (without tables)====
Chairs only arranged in a U shape around a central presentation area. This U can be narrow (for a long thin room) or wide for a larger room.

'''Positives'''
*Allows for good full group discussion
*Good for setting a tone for participatory approach and discussion
*Facilitator is easily seen.
*People can usually see each other well without tables as barriers
*People can move easily and flexibly.
*Action area in the middle which can be used easily and quickly by anyone wanting to present or explain or demonstrate.
*Can usually be organised quickly in any available space.

'''Negatives'''
*Some people sitting sideways on to facilitator and the screen.
*Very informal.
*Can be very awkward if the room is long and see you properly or participants can’t move around
*Takes up a lot of room.
*People don’t have tables to rest or write on.
*People can get tired sitting upright, particularly if there is not much room on either side or the chairs are uncomfortable.
*Facilitator can get stuck up the front.
*The room can get very messy if people need to put things on the floor.
*Some people think that the training can’t be serious because it is more like a therapy group or story telling in school.
