Room and Tables
We need a probably BIG room. Context: People will be organized into table groups, averaging 5 people per group. e.g., 6 or 7 tables if 35 people. The tables are ideally in separate islands, circular or square, with a group at each. And we need a big room because of the wall requirements...
Walls and Whiteboards
There are several WALL activities (such as causal loop modeling or miscellaneous visualizations) that involve HUGE clear wall space. Therefore:
>> We need 4 clear flat wall areas (nothing on the walls) that are at least 3m wide by 2m high.
>> Because of the "cling sheets" that will be covering these walls as described below, these walls need to clear flat painted walls, not with wallpaper or cloth covering or irregular elements, etc.
ORDER THESE ASAP; THIS IS IMPORTANT...
These clear wall areas will be covered with a special material called (for example) "cling sheets". And not just any "cling sheet", but one of these brands:
>> (BEST option) Wall Wizard *Refill* Rolls of 30 inches wide and 50 ft long. The wholesaler site is here but these are usually ordered through Office Depot
>> (ok option - Europe) Magic Whiteboard. http://www.magicwhiteboard.co.uk
>> (ok option - North & South America) Magic Whiteboard. http://www.magicwhiteboardproducts.com
We need FOUR ROLLS, each about 50 ft long
All these may also be available at Amazon.
