Abstract:
The AH-HAH seminar is designed to organize groups of common interests, especially workers, to come to a common understanding. The title is derived from the common phrase exclaimed when a point is finally understood -- "AH-Hah!" The book examines how people learn and questions the way they are taught.
In an AH-HAH seminar, a group is seated in a classroom setting and a person, called the animator, stands at the front. The animator records and draws on a mural-sized piece of paper images that make up the thoughts and opinions of the participants. Those participants are led through the pictures in front of them to make their own connections, assessments and conclusions.
