Kudos to World Cafe Online Community

I just mentioned the World Cafe Online Community on a call with someone doing Veteran-Civilian Dialogues.  They're looking to help their participants continue relationships over time using online technology, and I mentioned this community as a shining example of an online community that works!See More

I’d like to try to tap into the wonderful network here to find out where people recommend buying tablecloths for World Cafe-style dialogue — and what type of tablecloths you recommend (fabric, paper, color, etc.). For the regional NCDD event in Portland this weekend, we are holding an evening World Cafe on Friday that is open to the public. Then we’ll be holding our one-day Cascadia Conference on Dialogue & Deliberation all day on Saturday. So we’ll need to use the tablecloths both… Continue

NCDD members have been sharing insights and tips–on our listservs and in various op-eds, blog posts, and more–on how legislators can engage citizens in ways that are more participatory and more… Continue

HI Sandy,
Welcome from me too! Did you get the email I sent you a while back seeing if we might connect in a phone visit? There are a number of things I want to let you know about that are still unfolding....where NCDD might play a key role.
I'm back in California from August 20-September 9-- what does your week look like for a call that first week of September?
Fond regards,
Juanita
