Hybrid rounds
If you want everyone in the group to have a say, but are in a hybrid setting, with people joining both online and in-person, how can you set up a talking round? Here are some ideas!
Paired walk
Inviting a paired walk is surprisingly effective in its simplicity. Going for a walk together increases trust and can help prepare the terrain for conflict resolution, while acting as an energizer at the same time. Make it hybrid-friendly by pairing a person in the room to one joining online!
Unique Thing in Common
With a partner, find the 3 most unlikely / unusual / unique things you have in common with each other. Each pair chooses one to share with the group.
Telephone
message passed without checking to next person
500 year gap
In pairs, one person describes a modern appliance to someone from 500 years ago
Translated Rant
One person rants for 60 seconds. The second person translates their rant into what they care about and value.
Repeater
Players repeat the last line of dialogue before adding another detail
Conversation Café
The format of the Conversation Café helps people have calm and profound conversations in which there is less debating and arguing, and more listening. Sitting in a circle with a simple set of agreements and a talking object, small groups will engage in rounds of dialogue with little or no unproductive conflict. As the meaning of their challenge pops into focus, a consensual hunch is formed that will release their capacity for new action.
Rollenspiel-Übung zum Aktiven Zuhören
Die Teilnehmer gehen zu zweit zusammen und üben das Aktive Zuhören anhand eines Rollenspiels.
- Dabei geht jeweils eine Person mit der Rolle „A“ und eine Person mit Rolle „B“ zusammen.
- Das Gespräch wird geführt, wobei der jeweilige Zuhörer jeweils unterbrechen kann, um das Gehörte zusammenzufassen. Der Gesprächspartner gibt unmittelbar Feedback, ob dies stimmig war.
Anschließend läuft das Gespräch weiter.
