APSSA Student Conference 2010Role Description and Priviledges

Student Conference Steering Committee

The World Cafe is a conversational process using an innovative yet simple methodology for hosting conversations about questions that matter. These conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, cross pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions or issues that are most important in their life, work, or community. As a process, The World Cafe can evoke and make viable the collective intelligence of any group, thus increasing people’s capacity for effective action in pursuit of common aims.

The integrated design principles have been distilled over the years as a guide to intentionally harnessing the power of conversation for business and social value. When used in combination, they provide useful guidance for anyone seeking creative ways to foster authentic dialogues in which the goal is thinking together and creating actionable knowledge.
