1. 1

   Near the end of a session, bring the group back together.

2. 2

   Ask: 'What were the most important insights that emerged today? What decisions were made? What commitments did we hear? What questions are still alive?'

3. 3

   Record responses visibly on a flip chart or board.

4. 4

   Use different colours or sections for: Insights, Decisions, Commitments, Open Questions.

5. 5

   Review the harvest with the group. Add anything missing.

6. 6

   Photograph or transcribe the harvest and share with all participants.

Conseils

• Distinguish between recording everything (documentation) and harvesting what matters (synthesis).

• Harvesting is an interpretive act — the facilitator helps the group name what was most significant, not just most talked about.',

Variantes

Run a 'visual harvest' with a graphic recorder creating an illustrated summary in real time. Use a 'three words' harvest at the end of short sessions: each participant contributes three words that capture their takeaway.
