The host will capture ideas from the brainstorming conversation. Groups return to their original home base, summarize the major ideas and themes expressed and report out. Jill: At the end of the last round, host a full-group discussion, exploring what people learned – What was new or surprising? What recurring themes did they hear? What divergent thoughts were expressed? A potential wrap-up question might be “if this room had only one voice, what would it be saying?”
