INTERESTING: We put the moderated suggestions for things to do up on the projector and there was interest but we didn’t really implement any of the suggestions. My guess is that the top rated activity suggestions involved self-revelatory content and we just didn’t know each other well enough to feel really safe talking about that in front of a large group full of new people. If we keep having meetups with the same crowd I think self-revelatory activities will work better, but we might have needed more “ice breaking” kinds of activities?
I’m just one data point, but that wasn’t stopping me. I just couldn’t think of anything worth spending everyone’s time on when unsolicited. Maybe if we had broken into smaller groups for that it’d have been over the ‘worth saying’ threshold, and the groups could get together with whatever interesting stories/patterns they uncover?
