Check-Out Round
A structured closing ritual where each participant briefly shares a takeaway, reflection, or commitment before the session ends. It creates a meaningful close, reinforces learning, and ensures everyone leaves with clarity on next steps. A good check-out is as important as a good check-in.

No discussion or commentary from others during the round.

Thank the group.
Conseils
Keep it to one thing per person — a check-out that becomes a second full discussion is a facilitation failure.
For longer programmes, alternate the prompt across sessions: takeaway today, commitment tomorrow, appreciation next time.
Variantes
