WorldCafe
Worldcafe is a brainstorming method especially for large groups. The method of the Worldcafe is explained in a plenary section, followed by separation into smaller groups. Each group deals with an issue that is supervised by a host. After a further determined number of minutes, the groups change issues. Each group member goes to a different issue so that there is also variety in the people with whom you treat the issue. The host does not move on. At the end of the day, there will be concrete solutions to problems that can be tackled further.
