Fishbowl

The Fishbowl method is a facilitation tool that enables dynamic and open discussions in large groups. It promotes the exchange of ideas and perspectives by allowing participants to switch between an inner and outer discussion circle.

Effort: small Difficulty: medium Effectiveness: short

The fishbowl method works well for large group discussions. Discussants in the inner circle have the full attention of the audience, but each participant in the outer circle has the opportunity to contribute their own content.

💡 Tip from practice: Make sure everyone understands and follows the rules.
