Program Description: More than ever we are in need of conversations that bring people together for creative solutions. Imagine having the opportunity to sit with a group of people and have a deep interaction around something you all really care about. These kinds of dialogues are taking place across the globe and are making a difference in creating a better world. You can participate as well by creating them in your own community, your place of work, your neighborhood, even in your own home. Juanita Brown and David Isaacs have created a simple process for bringing people together around questions that matter. They call this the World Café. Brown says, "This is the way the world works. Through our conversations and the networks of conversations we are a part of, and the meaning that we make in these conversations, is how we bring the world into being." Whether you are dealing with questions in your organization, community, church or school, the World Café method is a doorway to deeper understanding and creativity. By using some basic principles the nature and quality of conversation will lead to collective intelligence. 1 Hour
