💭 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.
