60-minute World Café (New!)
A World Café is a structured conversational process for sharing knowledge in which groups of people discuss a topic at several small tables like those in a café. There should be pre-defined questions for the World Café, but outcomes or solutions are not decided beforehand. There should be at least three to five small tables for people to move between, with a facilitator for each table. The World Café moderator can choose to be one of the session facilitators if they choose to do so. You may rotate the facilitators or the participants from table to table depending on whether the World Café is online or in person. The allocated time is 60 minutes.
