The World Cafe

The World Café is a group discussion method designed to facilitate open, collaborative conversations on complex topics. Participants sit at small tables, engaging in guided dialogues, then rotate to new groups while sharing insights. This process encourages diverse perspectives, collective thinking, and the emergence of ideas through continuous dialogue. By fostering a relaxed environment and cross-pollination of ideas, The World Café helps groups generate innovative solutions, build understanding, and develop shared understanding on challenging issues. It’s often used in organizations and communities to stimulate participation and harness the collective wisdom of diverse participants.
