The World Cafe Community

Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter

Hello World cafe Community!
I am a university teacher in Padova (since two years, not that much..).
I teach Ecology-related courses. I have participated in a world cafè
discussion once a couple of years ago. I read some material I found
online and I would really be interested in applying this technique
in my teaching. I'm writing to ask if you could suggest any resource
implementing the World cafe in teaching science. Are there other
members of the community who have already applied it and can
give advice? My course this is year is aimed at providing the students
with knowledge about organism's response to climate change (ecology,
evolution, physiology, I'll teach with other three colleagues). My (our)
plan is to start with a world cafe in the first lesson asking students to
think themselves what are the potential responses they expect from
organisms. We will keep their responses in the class room (post-its,
small vignettes, posters and notes) until the end of the course. We
will conclude in the last lesson revising their early responses and
going through a general course brush up. I would be very grateful
if you could give your opinion or suggestions to my preliminary idea.
Many thanks in advance!!
Best regards,
Chiara Papetti
