We chose to:
Hold discussions in small groups, so everyone got a chance to speak, if they wanted to do so. As our session was online, we had to think about the organisation and timing of the breakout rooms and the size of groups we wanted. The biggest job was agreeing on the questions to ask. We also thought about check in and check out activities for our discussion.
