This paper documents the process and effectiveness of workshop methodologies that were used in the Community-Based Resource Management Workshop in Otavalo, Ecuador, in March, 2001. The Planning and Learning Department (PLD) used a combination of methodologies, including the "Six Thinking Hats," "Open Space Technology," and simulated negotiations. The workshop was very successful, partly because the planning and facilitation were collaborative efforts involving Oxfam staff, partners and guests. Included in the paper are discussions about planning logistics, an explanation of the various methodologies, lessons learned, and a description of the group's activities.
