Preparation

  • Provide each participant with one A5 sheet of paper and a pen or pencil.
  • Each participant draws a clock on their paper and marks all 12 hours.

Activity steps

Part I: Setting up the meetings

  • At each hour mark on the clock, participants write the name of another participant they will meet at that time. Meetings can be in pairs or groups of three.

Part II: Discussion rounds

  • The facilitator announces a specific hour (e.g., “It’s 3 o’clock”) and gives a discussion topic or question.
  • Topics can range from simple icebreakers to deeper conversations.
  • Each conversation lasts 2 minutes (or longer if needed).
  • After time is up, the next meeting hour is announced with a new question.
  • This continues until all 12 “meetings” have taken place, covering 12 different topics.

Reflection

Gather participants in a circle and discuss:

  • What did you learn about each other?
  • What common topics or interests did you discover?
