FishBowl Guidelines


A. Submit a 300 word overview of the topic to Melanie Clay by email no later than March 2, 2009. This will be posted in the conference website.

B. Instructions for delivering your FishBowl presentation.

1. frame the opening of the conversation
(this should take you no more than 5 minutes).

2. keep the conversation from getting too far off track
(but don't really moderate).

3. submit a written summary of ideas learned within 1 hour after the end of the session (this will be posted to the conference website).

The FishBowl works as follows. Your presentation room will be set up with a circle of 8 chairs in the center of the room. There will be two more circles of chairs around this central circle. Only those in the center circle can talk. You can ask for volunteers or select people from your audience. There will always be an empty chair in the circle. When someone from the outer circle wants to join the conversation, they may go and sit in the empty chair. When they sit down, someone else in the inner circle should leave so that there is always an empty chair left. As the facilitator, you may also select people to go and join the conversation.
