rap session
Informal group discussion
A rap session is an informal group discussion, often about personal feelings, social issues, or shared experiences.
The term emerged from 1960s and 70s counterculture, when "rap" meant to talk openly: We had a rap session about what was bothering everyone.
It suggests a relaxed, therapeutic atmosphere rather than structured debate.
