This session introduces participatory facilitation models that support collective learning and innovation. Participants will explore tools such as World Café conversations and other dialogue-based approaches for piloting ideas, gathering staff insight, and fostering collaborative problem-solving.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the principles of dialogue-based facilitation and experiential learning.
  • Compare participatory methods, including World Café conversations and other collaborative discussion models, for gathering ideas and solving problems.
  • Design a simple dialogue-based activity that encourages collaboration, reflection, or innovation within their library or organization.

This project is made possible in part through grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
