World Café Colours Annual Conference 2025

The World Café is a structured yet informal method for group discussion, designed to explore a central question in a relaxed setting. Participants rotate between small tables over several rounds, exchanging ideas and building on each other’s perspectives. A host stays at each table to summarize key points for newcomers, helping connect insights across the whole group. The process encourages collective thinking and leads to a shared understanding that can be synthesized at the end.

Location: Krinova Incubator & Science Park, Stridsvagnsvägen 14 (next to Kristianstad University Campus)

Moderators: Mats Åhlander and Fredrika Braw
