Meetings of executives, politicians, students, children lead to unexpected results and to a very refreshing and encouraging 'flavour' of enthusiastic and rewarding talks. The results were new, miraculous, exciting as new voices spoke up and the expected and invited 'celebrity speakers' were happy to share time and hear something alive and new. There is no chance to run successful meeting by giving every participant the same time slots. Humans have their times and issues and foci need to be developed and expanded, not cut into equal slices. The total meeting time is divided into units matching the distributed tokens, thus valuing them.
Members then give tokens to others whose topics they want to have introduced for discussion.
This open, transparent format can encourage inhibited people to participate and minimise domination by authoritative types. Most rewarding was that unknown people brighten up, receive lots of attention and credit and learn that they have something to say, that they have a voice which was and is normally not heard. This specific form of Magic Round Tables as facilitated by the author has been successfully utilised during the past years. At the International Peace University in Berlin, a month long series of such meetings with a large variety of participants ranging from children, youngsters, woman, elders proved the system and ist scope beyond the Stammtisch . Worth mentioning is the audio-video documentation of the Peace Colleague and the written documentation as part of the DA ZI BAO process.
