Long version:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debriefing is a super important skill for a facilitator. Exercises become more valuable when participants reflect on their observations and the meaning they make of everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Truth be told, I’m not as good at debriefing as I’d like to be. I tend to rely on the same debriefing questions over and over…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why I was very excited when Julian Kea<\/a> and Chris Caswell<\/a> created the Debriefing Cube<\/a> and shared it with all of us under a CC-BY<\/a> license. It gives you a ton of different debriefing questions focussing on different areas, such as Goals<\/em>, Group Dynamics<\/em>, Process<\/em> etc. \u2013 in seven different languages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved it so much that I added it as an activity in Retromat<\/a> despite the fact that it’s not self-contained. (I strongly prefer activities that can be described stand-alone so that you’ve got all the instructions you need when you print out a plan.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, when I build the giant Retromat Miroboard Template I looked around for an online version and … couldn’t find one… \ud83d\ude41 So I reached out to Julian and asked him. Turns out, there wasn’t an online version yet. I asked whether I could build one and here we are \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Debriefing Cube Online randomly suggests a different debriefing question each time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: The layout of the cards is taken from a very early prototype, Julian and Chris had already built. Thank you for letting me re-use that! And obviously thank you for the Debriefing Cube in general!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
