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.
Come eseguirlo
- 1
State the question or prompt clearly.
- 2
Explain the round robin rule: each person shares once, in sequence, before discussion opens. Passing is allowed.
- 3
Go around the group one at a time. The facilitator notes key points.
- 4
Once everyone has contributed, open the floor for general discussion.
- 5
Run multiple rounds if needed until the topic is exhausted.
Suggerimenti
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).
Variazioni
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.
