World Café

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.
