After finishing the share pairs, we did a quick full group “popcorn” of the ideas that bubbled up. This allowed us to experience the whole design process – design a new wallet – and reflect on it. We were assigned to small groups to work a specific theme. Which comes from the Participatory Facilitator’s Guide.

In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."
