  • Print the Participant Notebook, Generosity Plan, and 2-page Hosting Guide if providing physical copies.
  • Familiarise yourself with the sessions and the Generosity Plan.
  • Invite guests using materials from the Promotional Resources section.
  • Test your technology: confirm portal logins and download videos if needed (Portal users), or open all files to check they play correctly (USB users).
  • Set up the room or virtual space: arrange seating in circles or small groups. For groups over 12, plan breakout groups of 6–12.
