World Café Protocol Each group of 5 selects a recorder, who takes notes and STAYS BEHIND when others rotate. In addition, select a facilitator and timekeeper. (1 minute) Locate the pile of case studies on your table on colored paper (green, blue, or yellow) EngageNY.org8

World Café cont. The recorder sets up a piece of chart paper as follows:  Case Study Number 1, 2 or 3 at top. Read the case study independently and think about the questions at the end. (5 minutes) On your chart paper, as a group, collect your thinking:  What are the issues?  What to do next?  Use only the top half of the chart paper. (7 minutes) EngageNY.org9

World Café cont. Transition  The recorder stays behind. The rest of the group transitions to another table with the other color case study at it. You do not need to stay together as a group. EngageNY.org10

World Café cont. Greet your new group (2 minutes) Read your new case study independently (5 minutes) The leader (the person who stayed behind) reviews what the last group said about the issues and resolutions. (3 minutes). Now brainstorm – stretching beyond the ideas of the first group (5 minutes). EngageNY.org11

World Café cont. Review all of the recommendations on the chart (including the recommendations made by the group before). Select one you feel would be most powerful. That gets circled or starred. (2 minutes) EngageNY.org12
