This activity uses for collaborative learning through
reflection and dialogue. We used an idea influenced
by the World Cafe method (see
http://www.theworldcafe.com/method.html) which
works well with small and large groups and enables
maximum engagement, interaction and learning.
All flashcard photographs are by Chrissi Nerantzi.
