That’s really interesting! There are probably quite a few different formats to do this sort of thing (one on ones with people facing the same dilemmas \ people that have faced it recently, bringing together groups of people who have similar situations, etc.)
I think some local groups are doing things like this, but it’s definitely something we should think about as an option that can potentially be relatively low effort and (hopefully) high impact.
We have organized different “collective ABZ planning sessions” in Geneva that hinge on peer feedback given in a setting I would call a light version of CFAR’s hamming circles.
This has worked rather well so far and with the efficient pre-selection of the participants can probably scale quite well. We tried to do so at the Student Summit and it seemed to have been useful to 100+ participants, even though we didn’t get to collect detailed feedback in the short time frame.
Already providing the Schelling point for people to meet, pre-selecting participants & improving the format seems potentially quite valuable.

As a data point:

That sounds great! Thank you for sharing this.
If that’s ok, I might get in touch soon with some questions about this...
Yes, happily! konrad@eageneva.org
