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.

Le pro action café revisité
Présentation
Le pro action café, comme le world café ou le forum ouvert, est un format de discussion qui est utilisé pour favoriser l’échange constructif ainsi que l’intelligence collective dans toutes ses facettes. Dans cette description d’atelier nous vous proposons tout particulièrement l’utilisation du pro action café pour l’apprentissage collectif ou le brainstorming. Nous pouvons notamment l’utiliser dans un objectif de pédagogie inversée, dans la mesure où ce sont les participants qui vont s’enrichir les uns les autres.

Conversation Café
You can include and engage any number of people in making sense of confusing or shocking events and laying the ground for new strategies to emerge. 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.
Caravan
You can quickly and effectively get and give help in a diverse group, organization, or community. Caravan gets rid of long large-group presentations and replaces them with several concise consultations made simultaneously to group members that have asked for help with a challenge.
A few individuals set up stations where they share a challenge and a consultation question. Often the challenge is directly or obliquely shared by others in the group. As small groups of consultants move from one station to another, their size makes it easy for people to connect with the client and visa versa. Clients learn how to ask productive questions and consultants learn how to be more effective coaches.
With Caravan everyone can quickly learn how challenges are being addressed and how new approaches might be adapted to their own situations.
