Closing Circle

1. (optional) If time allows, first invite participants to walk around the room, mingle, and look at the work of other tables for 5-10 minutes;
2. Reconvene the plenary and ask people to stand in a circle all together. Start by thanking everyone for their active participation and briefly explain the concept of the harvest;
3. Summarize the learning journey of the day and refer back to the original goals and objectives;
4. Invite people to share insights from their small group or table harvests. When time is limited, ask for one representative per table;
5. Facilitator or table hosts highlight the next steps or actions that have come from the workshop;
6. Leave space to share any general impressions about the workshop, focusing on the positive aspects. A prompt could be: what would you like to see more of in future workshops? What is one positive thing you will share with your colleagues when you return to work?
7. As a checkout, have everyone in the circle say one word about how they are feeling.
