Gurteen Knowledge Cafe: SMARTlab at the University of East London 2006
A Gurteen Knowledge Cafe that I ran at the SMARTlab at the University of East London, England, in October 2006.
It is a full-length video of over 50 minutes that captures the energy and engagement of the small group conversations. Unlike most of my Cafés, a representative from each table briefly presents to the room at the end of the discussions.

If you’d like my help in designing and facilitating a customised Knowledge Café—whether like the example above or something completely different—I’m here to support you. Your Knowledge Café can be held in person (face-to-face) or online via Teams or Zoom. Let’s create a conversation that meets your needs.
