WorldCafé – Discussion Results
Facilitator’s Notes…The Calgary Conversation made use of two increasingly popular large group techniques…the OpenSpace and the World Cafe. In the roll up of the results and the intelligence gathered, you will note numbers frequently showing up. In an OpenSpace we build an agenda from the system in the room and we number the agenda items in order to give some easy structure for people to find others who want to enter that conversation. In the Cafe we would have multiple conversations in each cafe (eg three different patio tables) and the numbers reflect the conversations from each table. The numbers then do not really have any connection with the results. Please feel free to read and reflect on the narrative that came out of the conversations recognizing that other material is just structural and not related to importance or any other factor.
