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?
Hmmm. Can't find it.
This group is for exploring intergenerational conversations happening around the world - both harvesting what is already around and supporting new spaces/opportunities to emerge.
I have read extensively about the WC process and I have never run across anything advising against giving the question in advance. Certainly, you should at least give the topic. However, I personally don't think there is anything to be gained from w…
I held a WC on environmental sustainability in the Florida Keys last April, and I did give the question in advance both to promote attendance and to give the participants something to think about. There were about 30 participants and I did not notic…
Amy, I would like to participate in another SL WC (This is Keys Lighthouse). WC event I was in the process of planning when I participated in the March SL event went off on April 30 and was very well received by the participants. I will post a write…
I like Adriano's suggestion of a topic on Immigration Reform.
My sacred question is "What gives life meaning?" This is a more foundational question than What is the meaning of life? or What is the meaning of my life? I am inspired by Viktor Frankl's book "Man's Search for Meaning." From him I've come to realiz…
This group has been formed to host a monthly community conversation on an issue that effects us all - each month the question will change.
We'll also be hosting regular virtual World Cafes to take our explorations further (see calendar)

Keyswide Sustainability Cafe
I am leading an interagency team planning a World Cafe event we've titled The Keyswide Sustainability Cafe to be held on April 30, 2010. To our knowledge, this is the first Cafe event ever to be held in the Florida Keys. We are devouring all the World Cafe resources we can find in planning this event. We are both apprehensive and excited about the possibilities. I will also post a narrative of this experience on Storynet after the event.

How is the book? Perhaps the power of inquiry is leading me to read it too?
Cheers, Mark
