Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
We had a particularly juicy Community Cafe last Thursday, and the March Cafe is on the calendar now (click here for more information and to register).
February's topic was fairly open since we haven't had a Community Cafe for many months - the questions focused on 1) what was bringing people to this Cafe, 2) what question or issue had been engaging or concerning them lately, and 3) what had they learned in response to this question or issue.
I found it interesting that given this open format what many of the participants wanted to talk about was the online medium itself.
Listening in to the small group conversations, which I do regularly to make sure everyone has settled in ok and to gauge the "energy" in the room, I noticed that it was a topic that ran through each of the conversations at some point in every round, and it made me wonder if perhaps we should host a Cafe focused specifically on this topic?
What do you think? Anyone want to play?
Thoughts? Ideas? Let's hear from you.
