The World Cafe consists of a methodology in which participants, arranged in small groups of 4 to 5 people per table, totaling 20 people, share and deepen their opinions and ideas in a relaxed atmosphere, in order to build a joint vision of the theme/problem and propose innovative strategies for the challenge of the session. This sharing is very effective, since all the groups of participants go through all the tables.
Obtain a joint vision on the question: "How can we improve Avenida Almirante Reis, promoting the well-being of those who live, work, study and use it, within the scope of Accessibility, Safety, Environment and Mobility, considering its Socio-Urban context?".
