ABSTRACT

This chapter suggests, describes, and discusses a wide range of possible facilitation moves and ways of organizing dialogical philosophising in education and beyond. Distinctions between authoritative, authoritarian, and neglecting facilitation styles are outlined and discussed, and it is argued that an authoritative facilitation style is preferred. Ten overarching facilitation moves are suggested. These involve organizing the bodies in the room, writing and/or drawing as part of longitudinal Dialogos dialogue processes, taking the lead in creating a calm and centered atmosphere in the room, and letting participants engage personally with subject matter. Further, it includes leading the process of crystallizing a focus point, opening a space for inner dialogues, opening a space for honest heart-to-heart communication, and challenging participants to think critically and abstractly. Finally, moves suggested involve problematizing answers and closing up the dialogue, and opening a space for meta-reflection. The chapter ends with advice concerning setting up longitudinal Dialogos dialogue series.
