Generating meaningful conversation: World Café in strategic interprofessional planning in Continuing Education

Abstract

Objectives: to present the particularities of the World Café, identifying the main aspects that characterize a planning strategy for a constructive, interactive, and participative dialogue of the individuals, aiming at collaborative and innovative learning. Methods: a World Café method workshop with 24 professionals from the teams that work in basic health units. Results: we obtained three analysis categories: Individual Needs, Group Needs, and Institutional Needs, which resulted in the Municipal Plan of Actions on Continuing Health Education. Conclusions: we found that the World Café was adequate and relevant for the discussion of key themes, for the practices of teams in Primary Care and the production and organization of data in a collective space. Final Considerations: the method can contribute to the construction of knowledge and proximity to the daily reality of interdisciplinary teams, as well as serving as a tool in the preparation of planning in Permanent Education.
