Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
I am currently doing research on cultural change through multi-generational dialogue and am finding resources scarce. If you have any stories, information, data, papers, books, or other recommendations, I would love to hear from you. I am wide open right now on how to approach this. Thank you in advance.

Permalink Reply by Christine Whitney Sanchez on April 29, 2011 at 9:59am John, I have examples from 2005 when we did Strategy Cafes for 3000 girls and adults at the GS National Convention as well as stories from 2006-tomorrow, where I've facilitated intergeneration dialogue (World Cafe, AI and Open Space) with thousands at the local Girl Scout annual meeting. One of those happens tomorrow with 450 participants.
Feel free to contact me at christine@innovationpartners.com for ways you can point to those stories and photos.
Christine has done some wonderful documentation of this effort which is a great example of how World Cafe and the other process technologies can be of support. Dianne Oettinger, who is the Girls Scouts Director of Learning (or something like that), might also have examples....although I haven't been in touch with her for quite a while.
Let me know if you'd like to be in touch with her as well....although it's Christine that's done the most wonderful work in this area as it related to the Girls Scouts.
best,
juanita
