World Cafe: 書店的100種可能 bookstores reimagined
如果你有機會開一間書店，那會是一間怎樣的空間？由選址到閱讀體驗，由擺設到裝修設計，每個心思、細節，都反映著店主希望與別人分享的世界。
4月23日 (星期四)，適逢世界閱讀日，讓我們一起在充滿創作氣息的城舍裡，用 World cafe 形式的討論，分享所思所想，同時互相啟發，建構出書店的各種可能性。
If you had the chance to open a bookstore, what kind of space would it be? From the location selection to the reading experience, from the layout to the interior design, every thoughtful detail reflects the world the owner hopes to share with others.
On April 23 (Thursday), in celebration of World Book Day, let’s gather in the creative atmosphere of Urban Room and, through a World Café–style discussion, share our ideas and inspire one another as we imagine the many possibilities of a bookstore.

Urban Room in Tai Kwun is a community driver, an art shop and a creator's hub. A warm space in the heart of Tai Kwun where creativity meets connection — where locals and creators come together to inspire, create, and belong.
位於大館的城舍致力連結社群、推廣藝術及本地創作。坐落於大館的核心空間，她期望市民與創作者可以聚首一堂，彼此啟發、共同創作，並找到歸屬感。
The location is the 1st floor of the Barrack Block at Tai Kwun in Central (go up the stairs next to Moleskine).
地點是中環大館營房大樓 1樓 (沿Moleskine旁邊樓梯上)。
HKD $50 in-store shopping voucher is included in the ticket to support local art prints. Come discover heartfelt original artworks that capture the spirit and memories of Hong Kong — created by local artists.
門票已包括 $50 購物現金券，可於店內使用，支持本地藝術家創作。
☕ 甚麼是「世界咖啡館」？
世界咖啡館是一種輕鬆、聚焦的討論方式，透過主持人(host)因應主題而設計的三條問題，令參加者對題目有更深入的探討。
第一部分參加者會分成3-4人小組進行討論，每回合15分鐘，每回結束後都會交換組員，互相分享聽到的故事和觀點。
第二部分所有人會圍坐，主持人會引導大家分享啟發，由於參加者在整個過程中都有機會參與分享和聆聽，所以我們可以得出集體智慧。

☕ What is World Cafe?
World Cafe is a discussion format driven by intentionally crafted questions, designed for 12 or more people to Think Together. 🌎☕️
In the process, participants are divided into small groups to discuss a question, and then join a new group to discuss the next one.
There will be three rounds, each 15 to 20 minutes.
After that, everyone comes together to share what they learned. We'll be able to take home the main ideas, themes, and insights that emerged from the discussions.
📝 What can you expect?
7 pm doors open. You can bring light food and finish it before 7:30pm.
