Sarah,

If feeling heard is the primary purpose, something that I¡¯ve discovered that seems odd but true is that people don¡¯t have to be witnessed by everyone. So an approach I¡¯ve used is to create random groups ¡ª from 2 to 4 people depending on how much time is available ¡ª and offer a reflection prompt question. That means everyone gets airtime and is heard by others. Optionally, when you bring folks back together, you can invite anyone who wants to speak to the whole to do so and hear a few comments or invite a word, phrase, or sentence from everyone. Or any of the variety of written options, like the ones Bev suggested.

Hello Whitney, we have found a Chatbox Storm to be the best way to bring learning from the BRs, whilst also uniting the group back together in the main space.

Whilst in the BRs we use google slide templates, so working from the same document each room completes the template for their respective number (ie BR1 uses slide 1) so the details feedback is already captured.

Our approach on their return to the main room is a virtual adaptation of the Liberating Structures Mad Hatters Tea Party. We invite all participants to write something in the chat box eg a key theme but not to press 'send'. After a 3,2,1 countdown everyone presses 'send' and the comments flood into the chat box, creating energy and a wealth of rich data too

Hope that's helpful
