Gallery Walk
A facilitation technique where outputs, ideas, or prompts are displayed on the walls like a gallery exhibition. Participants circulate at their own pace, reading, adding sticky note comments, and dot-voting on items. It replaces lengthy group presentations with a more active and democratic engagement format.
Come eseguirlo
- 1
Post outputs, ideas, or question prompts on large sheets of paper around the room — one per station.
- 2
Give participants sticky notes, markers, and voting dots.
- 3
Explain the task: circulate through the gallery, read each sheet, add comments or questions on sticky notes, and place dots on items you find most important or compelling.
- 4
Allow 15–25 minutes for self-paced exploration.
- 5
Bring the group back together to debrief the themes that emerged.
- 6
Use the dot clusters to identify the highest-priority items for discussion.
Suggerimenti
Include a prompt on each station so participants know what to do there (e.g.
'Add what's missing' or 'Vote for the most important risk').
For large groups, start at different stations to avoid crowding.
Label each station clearly.
Variazioni
Run a 'Rotating Stations' variant where small groups rotate together (carousel style). For remote sessions, use a digital whiteboard with image cards instead of physical posters.
