A '''World Café''' or '''Knowledge Café''' is a structured [[Conversation|conversational]] process in which groups of people discuss a topic at several tables, with individuals switching tables periodically and getting introduced to the previous discussion at their new table by a "table host". A café ambience is created in order to facilitate conversation. In some versions, a degree of formality is retained to make sure that everyone gets a chance to speak.<ref>Slocum, Nikki.

A joint publication of the King Baudouin Foundation and the Flemish Institute for Science and Technology Assessment (viWTA). ISBN 90-5130-506-0</ref> Alternatively, the [[café]] concept can be taken more literally with everyone potentially talking at once. As well as speaking and listening, individuals may be encouraged to write or doodle on the tablecloth so that when people change tables, they can see what previous members have written as well as hearing the table host's view of what has been happening. |

The World Café originated at the home of Juanita Brown and David Isaacs in 1995 when a "large circle" conversation became disrupted by rain.<ref>The World Café. [http://www.theworldcafe.com/history.html "History"].</ref> |
|||
In the version used by David Gurteen (who uses the term "Knowledge Café"), the small group discussions are not led by a [[facilitator]], and no summary is captured for subsequent feedback to the group - the aim is to maximise time spent in conversation and so time spent with one person presenting is minimised.<ref name="Gurteen">{{cite web |url=http://www.gurteen.com/gurteen/gurteen.nsf/id/kcafe-run |title=How to run a Knowledge Café |last=Gurteen |first=David |date=2003 to 2008 |website=Gurteen |access-date=15 February 2017}}</ref> |

A World Café or Knowledge Café is a structured conversational process in which groups of people discuss a topic at several tables, with individuals switching tables periodically and getting introduced to the previous discussion at their new table by a "table host". A café ambience is created in order to facilitate conversation. In some versions, a degree of formality is retained to make sure that everyone gets a chance to speak.[1] Alternatively, the café concept can be taken more literally with everyone potentially talking at once. As well as speaking and listening, individuals may be encouraged to write or doodle on the tablecloth so that when people change tables, they can see what previous members have written as well as hearing the table host's view of what has been happening.
The World Café originated at the home of Juanita Brown and David Isaacs in 1995 when a "large circle" conversation became disrupted by rain.[2]
In the version used by David Gurteen (who uses the term "Knowledge Café"), the small group discussions are not led by a facilitator, and no summary is captured for subsequent feedback to the group - the aim is to maximise time spent in conversation and so time spent with one person presenting is minimised.[3]
