(inspired by Dipika Kohli and her conversation salons!)
I like spaces where interesting conversations happen. Unfortunately, sometimes interesting conversations are not to be had within a sensible distance of the house. Or they are, but the people I want to converse with don’t live within sensible distance of my house, they live a plane ride away in another country.
A way to facilitate interesting conversations that works for me is to do a virtual conversation salon via Padlet. Write questions/prompts on virtual sticky notes. Enable comments.
I’ve done this before when facilitating workshops and it works great.
Of all the tools I’ve used to facilitate virtual workshops I’ve found that Padlet works the best. I have no idea why.
