TALKA is a co-creative workshop methodology that can engage 20-100 people to create a practical plan or concept in just 3 hours. It structures the workshop into game-like steps to guide participants through developing knowledge, ideas, agreements, and solutions to fill a pre-constructed "frame". TALKA effectively uses the power of big groups to be highly productive without the problems that often arise. It is based on an ancient Baltic/Nordic tradition of "talka" where neighbors collaborated efficiently to accomplish large tasks. Client testimonials praise TALKA for creating more engagement and solutions than traditional methods.
