- Completing my first year as a graduate student at l'Université du Québec à Montréal, I would describe myself as an artistic, as a creative, curious and passionate person. Through my master’s project, I am actually working on the Art of Hosting and The World Café practices as ways of accompany people, groups and organizations toward emergent change, as well as a collaboration and authentic dialogue facilitating processes.
What is the most fascinating, and this is the particularity of my research, is the link which I think is created when people have conversations and share ideas together within a World Café. It’s all about the core, the nature of that specific link. And, another focus of this research is what appears as a collaboration phenomenon when using the Art of Hosting to intervene in complex organizations. Also, I’m persuaded my research will contribute to the advancement, discovery and development of this practice in a francophone environment.
To add to what I just introduce, I could say that being a French Canadian who has always spoken French, I would like to participate in the development of the Art of Hosting and The World Café in my maiden language. I would also like to add that since I discovered this practice, my desire to understand it fully and maybe one day, bring it to the next level grows deeper everyday.

I would like to invite you to the Café Canada group. To join us, just follow this link.
I’m looking forward to engaging with you there.
Best regards,

A warm welcome to you!
Your research ideas sound fascinating and I hope you will join John Inman's group for Graduate Research. He's doing his degree with Fielding, but I think there may be valuable things to share among all the graduate research being done on the World Cafe and other social change technologies.
There are also many native French-speakers here, and it would be wonderful to see that group develop.
There are so many interesting elements to pick up on from your profile responses - I'm so glad you're here! I look forward to what kinds of mutual explorations might emerge for us and to learning more about you.
