This is to prompt reflection and reinforce learning for the group.
Treat this as a temperature check to see if anything needs to be altered later in the schedule.
Allow space for everyone to share something that stood out to them but feel free to keep this light and informal. Engage by asking questions back and help each speaker elaborate on their experience!
