WHAT WILL THE SOS - YOUTH WORLD CAFE BE LIKE?

CONTRIBUTION THROUGH CONVERSATIONAL LEADERSHIP

WHAT WILL THE SOS - YOUTH WORLD CAFE BE LIKE?

Participants are seated at round tables each with a facilitator who will pose a question for conversation. The topics for discussion at the SOS -Youth world cafes will all relate to finding solutions to high suicide risk and low sense of belonging among youth. The focus is how youth can find purpose and meaning in their lives.

Participants will be able to doodle, draw, and make notes on the paper table cloths. Facilitators observe for themes that arise as result of the participants' conversations.

After 20 - 30 minutes each participant will move to another round table for a new topic of discussion.

After everyone has rotated to each table, the themes are gathered and reported by the facilitators to the group for final reflections.

Refreshments are provided during the world cafe.

CONTRIBUTION THROUGH CONVERSATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Gathering in a circle, such as around a fire is part of human history. Conversing together is a primary means for sharing knowledge and cooperating to solve tough problems that promote community mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health and healing.

Conversational leadership takes root when community leaders promote conversation as a core process for effecting change. The curriculum and pedagogy for the SOS-Youth health culture diplomacy seminar is informed by the stories discovered during SOS-Youth World Cafes.
