​Past World Cafe events at Ohms

​Aug World Cafe for Travelers: What are we travelling for...

​Ohms is a local cafe in Sheung Wan that provides vegan food, drinks and dessert

​Sep World Cafe for expats and locals to explore what home and belonging mean to them

​💭 The Why

​"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." This famous saying from author John Gray has become a classic in understanding the differences in communication styles between men and women.

This is not a speed dating event where you find a new partner, but rather a discussion aimed at connecting with others through the sharing of stories and life experiences, expanding our understanding of the various ways we can communicate.

​☕ The How - World Cafe

• ​World Cafe is a discussion format driven by intentionally crafted questions, designed for 12 or more people to Think Together. 🌎☕️
  

• ​In the process, participants are divided into small groups to discuss a question, and then join a new group to discuss the next one.
  

• ​There will be three rounds, each 15 to 20 minutes.
  

• ​After that, everyone comes together to share what they learned. We'll be able to take home the main ideas, themes, and insights that emerged from the discussions.
