A place to share ideas, experiences & experiments in combining the creative arts with World Cafe. How can we use the arts with participatory processes to give greater access to the full range of human meaning & expression?

Hi Gerard, a warm welcome to this Online Community of Learning and Practice.

This sounds great! I first thought about Jasmine's recent inquiry about "Combining the Creative Arts with World Cafe", maybe you can take a peak there. Are you connected to the Hub folks in Halifax?

If you can take a moment, it would be great to read an introduction about yourself here.

May this space inspire you to have a look around and find the juicy spots for you to contribute or harvest...

Please let me know if i can help you here, best wishes,
Benjamin [Global Communications team member]
