* World Cafe is an innovative yet simple methodology for hosting conversations about questions that matter. These conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, cross-pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions or issues that are most important in their life, work, or community. As a process, the World Caf? can evoke and make visible the collective intelligence of any group, thus increasing people?s capacity for effective action in pursuit of common aims.
