Term2.png World/Knowledge Café
Creative, group process for leading collaborative dialogue, sharing knowledge and creating possibilities for action in group of any size. The environment is set up like a café. Every table as some refreshements and markers on it and is covered with a paper tablecloth. People sitting on a table are asked to held a series of conversation rounds on one or different significant topics, chosen by the organizers. They are asked to use the paper and the marker to keep track of their ideas in the way they prefer (drawing, writing, creating mind maps). Once the conversations are over (usaully a time limit is set), people change table and before starting discussing the new topic they present the basic ideas of the group they were previously in. The most important ideas that where discussed in every group are then spread to the whole number of participants.
