Discussion Café
IAM's mission is to gather artists and creative catalysts to wrestle with the deep questions of art, faith, and humanity in order to inspire the creative community to engage the culture that is and create the world that ought to be. One of our favorite ways to do this is through Discussion Café, which can be held anywhere two or more are gathered. In other words, if a discussion can be had, a Discussion Café is possible. We suggest that it starts - and stays - small; ideally, ten or twelve people at the most. The group should have an appointed facilitator to help guide the discussion, able to sensitively redirect the chasing of unfruitful rabbit trails and broker even talking time for all participants. We find that coffee shops, living rooms, and pubs work well, as long as the background noise is conducive to group discussion. For more on How To Lead a Discussion Café, please click here.
