If you are new to the World Cafe, would you please share how you heard about this community?
Following some links to other links I stumbled on your site a few days ago while preparing for a staff meeting. I am the director of a pre-k-8 Montessori School and I had been asking "how can we learn to listen to each other, learn from each other and talk through our disagreements? Is a disagreement the beginning of the conversation, or the end of the conversation? As Montessorians and peace educators, how can we be the role models of community, synergy, collaboration for the children? In your book you said "we can live in whatever world we bring about in our conversations". I am thinking the recent inquiry and conversations about talking it through have brought about your world to me, and I am so grateful.

Hi Nirvair, welcome to this Online Community of Learning and Practice.

Brilliant, i love Montessori! My mom is at working in a Montessori school in south Germany :)

The search-function shows me two conversation-threads on this site that might be interesting in that context.

If you can take moment, it would be wonderful to learn more about you and your work in our introduction-section?

May this space serve you well Nirvair, please let me know if you have any questions,

Benjamin | Global Communications Team
