The Central Garden of Collaborative Change: Accessing Our Collective Intelligence
A HYBRID WORLD CAFE

The Central Garden metaphor, coined by World Cafe Co-Founder Juanita Brown, identifies a  NEXUS for change; communities and networks engaging in many processes and practices of Collaborative Change as featured in The Change Handbook.

Join us as we learn about and experience - both locally (onsite at BGSU @Levis Commons) and globally (via Zoom video conferencing) - a Hybrid World Cafe conversation exploring the Central Garden - the “community of communities” through which we can access our collective intelligence and together investigate our learning edges.

This two and half hour hybrid event will model a method and a variety of technologies to explore what is possible now that was not possible before.

We are living in times of unprecedented social and ecological change. Alternative stories are vying for our attention as citizens in countries and communities around the globe.

One story tells of global financial crises, environmental catastrophes, and institutional failure, but alternative stories are also unfolding.

Collaborative social technologies such as World Cafe that use conversation as a core process have introduced significantly effective approaches to thinking and acting together in response to the challenges of our times. They have introduced effective approaches to thinking and acting together in corporate and educational systems, including institutions like the European Union, the United Nations, and the Municipal Police Department and Family Court systems in Chicago, IL, etc.. Together we are creating a new story.
