World Cafe is an innovative “group-sourcing” practice, enabling successive small groups to focus on aspects of a particular problem or issue. A topic is broken into sub-questions, each addressed at one table in the “café”; after a set period of small-group conversation, participants move to a different table, where each moderator summarizes the previous conversation and opens a new discussion. Through multiple rounds, each component part of an issue is thoroughly aired—and each participant has an opportunity to address different questions.

Moderators and participants from World Café Session 2 regroup for a “report out.” Moderators present the results of the workshops followed by a lively discussion amongst all the participants.
