The development group of Timeout

The development group challenged and psyched up the Timeout development work during autumn 2017.

Published

Members for the group were sought by an open call in the summer 2017. From the applications, 21 people representing different fields and interested in supporting a more constructive culture of discussion and dialogue were selected. The development work resulted in Timeout, a method of constructive discussion available for all.
