World café (conversation)

Okay little one, have you ever been to a café to have some food or drink with your family or friends? World café is kind of like that too, but instead of just having food or drinks, people come together to talk to each other about important topics.

Imagine that there is a big table in the café, and people sit around it and chat with each other. They talk about different things they care about, and they share their ideas and opinions with each other.

World café is like that, but instead of just one table, there are many tables, and everyone gets to switch and talk to different people. This is called "rotating" or "moving" from one table to another. Each table has a different topic to discuss, and people share their thoughts and ideas with each other.

This helps people learn from each other, understand each other's perspectives, and come up with new ideas together. The conversations are usually done in a friendly and respectful way, so that everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts.

When the conversation is over, everyone comes back together to share what they've learned from each other. It's like a big group discussion! This way, people can work together to find new solutions and make the world a better place.

So, world café is basically a way for people to come together, talk to each other, and learn from each other's ideas and perspectives. It's like having a big conversation with your friends and family, except with people you might not know yet!
