Breakout Tables

The ability to create small groups of people that can interact and discuss an issue face-to-face or using rich media such as video conferencing is fundamental to real deliberation and therefore democratic debate.

One way to achieve this when you bring a large number of people together in physical space is to use some variation of a World Café methodology.

Another way to achieve this online is to use the "breakout room" feature of platforms such as Zoom.
