Conversation Café host trainings are open to anyone and introduce new and prospective hosts to the basic principles and "situation handling" of hosting Conversation Cafés. The training also includes a practice conversation and a question/answer period. Donations above the $10 registration fee to support the Conversation Cafés initiative are greatly appreciated, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
By attending the training, you will occasionally receive notices about one-time hosting opportunities, such as "super cafés" when we add a conversation component to a public event and assemble hosts to lead conversations that follow the event. We hope and expect that in return for the training you will either start your own regular café, or respond to at least 2 local hosting opportunities in a year. We never give out or sell your e-mail addresses.
Please check this page regularly or join our online community forum to be notified of future training opportunities.
