World Café on ICT tools

45’ duration: (Trainer) 

In this activity, the world café method will be used. Everyone will be divided into the different 4 teams. Teams can consist of 4-5 participants in each team. However, the numbers of teams and the number of participants in the teams can vary and depend on the total number of participants.

The four different topics that can be given to the four different teams are:
1. What ICT tools are already available in your school? What kind of help schools provide toward the use of those ICT tools?
2. Which ICT tools are lacking in your school environment? What kind of help schools should provide you to gain access to such tools or gain necessary skills?
3. What are the benefits of using digital tools/ skills in the school environment?
4. What are the disadvantages or risks related to the use of digital skills and social media in the school environment?

Note to participants to talk about digital tools/ skills to create the content and also social media via you would spread created content.

Step One – Introduction: The participants will be introduced to the world café method. What is it and how does it work? (5 minutes)

Step Two - Team Creation: The participants will be divided into different teams either by the same nationality or mixed-up nationalities by using likewise methods such as counting (1,2,3,4…). After the team creation, participants will be asked to get settle on their assigned tables. After settling on the tables, team will decide one person from the team, as a team leader (5 minutes)

Step Three – Activity: On each table, there will be a question or topic. The teams will get 10 minutes to brainstorm and discuss regarding the topic with their team-mates. Team leader will document the ideas and discussion of the participants on sticky notes or general paper. When 10 minutes will be passed, the team members will be switching the tables in a clockwise direction. However, elected team leaders will not move with the participants but will stay on the first assigned table. Likewise, in the previous step, next 10 minutes, team members will spend on discussing another question or topic placed on the table they settled on. In such a manner, 4 teams will attend all 4 tables in clockwise direction spending 10 minutes on each table and will discuss the topic and share their views while team leaders will keep documenting them. (40 minutes)

Step Four – Sharing the ideas: Lastly, team leaders will come on the stage and will share the documented views one by one. (20 minutes).

Step Five – Discussion: This part will be an open discussion among all the participants related to the activity. They should be encouraged to speak about different views by facilitating different questions such as: 

- what new concepts they have found interesting in this discussion? 

- If there is something, they didn’t share during the group discussion but they would like to share in the group? (10 minutes)

Activity: (Time varies) We will offer further reading and watching for the participants so they would be more aware of different social media platforms. This would help to prepare for the following session and understand social media marketing a little more.
