Here is a set of Café Cards in a 4X6" format that I often use prior to beginning a Café conversation. Sets of these quote cards are placed on each table. Participants are invited to pick out a card that they have an affinity with or that speaks to them in a special way. Each participant reads his/her selected quote card to each other and also shares why they chose this particular card. This is a great way to get folks thinking about the power of coversation and sets the tone for an engaging Café experience.
Let me know what you think.

I am a member of the World Cafe Community. I am currently doing the World Cafe Fundamental Course from Fielding (online).
I am very keen to establish a culture of listening to children ( respecting their right to be heard) in India and elsewhere. Amy Lenzo the Course Coordinator says you have some experience in doing Cafe's with children. I would love to hear from you of your own experience and and that of any others. Please keep me in the loop. Augustine. my email id augustinevj@gmail dot com.
