This resource provides a ready-to-use guide for implementing the World Café method, a structured yet flexible discussion format that fosters collaborative learning, creativity, and critical thinking. Designed for educators and facilitators, it offers a step-by-step approach to engaging participants in meaningful dialogue across various topics.
The resource includes:

One featured example explores creativity in the classroom, guiding participants through discussions on why creativity matters, challenges in fostering it, and practical teaching approaches.
