A short guided pause for groups — QR in the room, profiles appear live on your network page.
A Hope & Wonder Hack is a short, guided pause at the start or end of a meeting, lecture, conference, or gathering. Everyone takes up to 60 seconds of voice or writes their hope or wonder, and a branded page fills with profiles in real time.
About ten minutes works well for most groups. The shift of attention matters more than the length of time.
No complicated script: offer one prompt, allow a short silence, invite pairs to share privately, then open the QR code.
People can write instead of speak; sharing in pairs is private. No one is asked to present to the whole room.
Hope & Wonder is intended for users aged 16 and over. Hacks in schools or colleges for young people over 13 can be run where a responsible adult oversees safeguarding — contact info@hopeandwonder.space to plan this well.
Profiles remain with participants and on your network page. Recurring Hacks can shape culture over time.
