Gallery Walk
Every team lays its work on the table and picks a keeper who stays with it. The rest go on tour past the other tables and give feedback on the questions on the screen; the keeper writes it down. Back at the table the keeper reports, and the team reflects.

- Work out, pick a keeper — 2 min · every team
Every team lays its work on the table so it can be looked at without explanation and picks one keeper. The keeper stays at the table with the feedback form (side 1) and does not defend — they ask on and write down. - On tour — 5 min · per table
The rest visit the other tables: as a team together, one table on every round — or everyone alone, each round a table you have not been to (your choice in the settings). Look in silence for a minute first, then feedback on the questions on the screen: what works well, what could be better, what other ideas — or your own questions. The keeper writes everything down. - The keeper reports — 5 min · every team
Everyone back to their own table. The keeper reads out everything that was said about the work; the team listens to the end first and only then reacts. - Team reflection — 3 min · every team
Fill in side 2 together: two points you take on, what you deliberately do not take on and why, and one sentence about the teamwork.
Tips for the facilitator
Giving and receiving feedback on work
The guard writes down what is said
Halfway through a project or design
Every team hears from every other
Feedback form (one per team) — the guardian fills in page 1 during the rotations (what works / what can improve / other ideas); page 2 is filled in together during the team reflection. Pens for the guardians.
- Let the guardian briefly explain the assignment at the start of each visitor round
- Design your own feedback form with custom columns — e.g. specific criteria or questions tailored to the assignment
- Use the form also as preparation: have teams write down in advance which aspects they want feedback on
- Project work: teams present their design or plan; the guardian notes feedback per visiting team in the form
- Language lesson: display writing assignments; visitors give verbal feedback on content and style via the three columns
- Practical subject: evaluate finished products via a tour; guardian collects feedback in the form per visiting team
Based on the Gallery Walk methodology — teams present their work and receive verbal feedback from participants circulating around the room, which the guardian notes in three columns: what works well, what can improve, other ideas.
