The World Café is a dynamic and engaging method for fostering meaningful conversations and collaboration. Through three progressive rounds of dialogue, participants address essential questions while linking thoughts and ideas from previous discussions. Each round encourages diverse perspectives, allowing newcomers to connect and contribute. In a relaxed atmosphere, visual memory aids like paper tablecloths help capture insights. The principles of the World Café emphasize listening, sharing, and creative expression, paving the way for innovation and collective wisdom.

One more thing… Before getting started, each group will need to identify a table host (not facilitator) who remains at the table during the 3 conversation rounds to: • welcome newcomers • share the main ideas, themes and questions • encourage guests to link and connect ideas (USING THE PAPER TABLECLOTH) http://www.flickr.com/photos/flickflackclack/1663577752/
