"Hi Marie,
I agree: asking students to break in groups of four in ordr to discuss something which requires generating ideas and after a while remixing the groups and doing the same task clearly makes students much more creative. It is like the first…"

"Hi Maria Amélia,
I am glad you like the idea. The group has been very quiet, so far :)
I have used WC with teachers, in order to plan the future of a school.
Maybe we can plan something more ambitious

"Hi Vicenç
Nice to read from you. Yes I am definitely interested to use this Café in education but in my case directed to the students. I still have only one experience when I tried to use this method to rise awareness about nitrogen…"

"Hi Maria Amélia,
I am glad you asked about the group :)
The initial idea of the group was the use of WC in education in a wide sense (in different settings and with different participants). For example, last June I used it with all the…"

Há um grupo em Portugal (para além do Arturo, que tem tentado criar uma rede nacional como agora acabei de ver) que tem usado a metodologia do WC em Portugal há anos, ligado à Associação Portuguesa de Estudos e Intervenção em Psicologia Positiva. Temos pagina no Facebook e quem gere é a Catarina Rivero (Terapeuta Familiar, Formadora e facil de encontrar na net), que foi das primeiras portuguesas, tanto quanto saibemos, a fazer formação nesta área (com a Juanita Brown). Estamos unidos também a um grupo (Transformadofes Sociais), com base em Lisboa na João Sem Medo (também no Facebook).Só agora recebi estes comentários, apesar de alguns meses terem passado, razão porque só agora estou a responder. Deixo entretanto saudações positivas. Helena Águeda Marujo (Docente do Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Politicas da Universidade de Lisboa)

Amy Lenzo said… Dear Maria Amélia,
I'm so sorry that you were not welcomed when you first came to the community - this function is all volunteer, so sometimes that happens, but I hope you know it does not mean your presence and participation are any less valued or appreciated.
There is a Cafe em Portugal group that you might like to join - it's small, but run by the wonderful Arturo Silva, who may be a good resource and ally for you. I did a "Advanced Search" (under the Find People tab) for people living in Portugal and found 14, so there may be others there that you could reach out to as well.
There is more material about World Cafe and this community in the Resources and Orientation tabs of this site. I'm happy to answer any questions you have - please let me know how I can be of help.
Warm Wishes,
Amy

Olá:
Criei um grupo para procurar juntar as pessoas de Portugal que estão neste NING, para nos conhecermos e vermos se conseguimos dinamizar o World Cafe em Portugal - onde as tertúlias nos Cafés tiveram uma grande importância histórica.
Peço aos interessados para se juntarem em http://www.theworldcafecommunity.org/group/world-cafe-em-portugal
Até lá
Artur
