On the last day of our FAL module, I have learned a new
facilitation tool which I have never experienced. It was World Café developed
by Juanita Brown and David Isaacs in1995. Ms Constance lee explained us how it
works and what to prepare for world café.
The World
Cafe offers practical tips for hosting "conversations that matter"
in groups of any size- strengthening both personal relationships and people's
capacity to shape the future together.
It introduces readers to a simple, yet powerful
conversational process for thinking together and creating actionable knowledge
that has been used successfully with organizations and communities. Clearly articulates seven key World Café design principles
that create the conditions for accessing collective intelligence and
breakthrough thinking
The World
Cafe is a flexible, easy-to-use process for fostering collaborative dialogue,
sharing mutual knowledge, and discovering new opportunities for action. Based
on living systems thinking, this innovative approach creates dynamic networks
of conversation that can catalyze an organization or community's own collective
intelligence around its most important questions.
Filled with stories of actual Cafe dialogues in business,
education, government, and community organizations across the globe, this
uniquely crafted book demonstrates how the World Cafe can be adapted to any
setting or culture.
