Round Robin

A structured turn-taking technique where each person contributes once before anyone contributes a second time. It ensures every voice is heard, prevents dominant voices from crowding out quieter participants, and creates a reliable rhythm for group sharing and decision-making.

Conseils

Allow passing — forcing contributions from reluctant participants kills safety.
However, check in with passers at the end: 'Anything to add now?' Keep contributions brief by setting a time limit per person (e.g.
60 seconds).

Variantes

Run a 'Popcorn Round Robin' where anyone can contribute in any order — less structured but still ensures one-at-a-time speaking. Combine with a talking stick for groups that interrupt frequently.
