Reviews
Yorck von Korff's compendium on the current and intricate subject of facilitation is a treasure chest. It brims with fundamental reflections, anecdotes, and meticulously outlined formats and tools. Yorck's enthusiasm for experimentation, intercultural competence, and a systemic approach, qualities I personally witnessed during our collaborative cross-border project, radiate through every statement. - Klaus Kuntz, facilitator.
