A - connect participants to the meaning for them, the…
World Cafe for Peace
I’ve often wondered about the best way to approach the topic of peace so that people actually feel empowered, capable of having impact and confident of their ability to take action in this area. Everyone wants peace yet most people feel helpless about having any influence at all on bringing about a peaceful world. As a coach I know that telling people doesn’t work half as much as letting people discover it on their own. The coaching approach creates the conditions for spectacular ah-ha…See More

- Hi Saba,
I see from David's comment that you held a Peace Café. I would love to hear more about it. Designing World Cafés which touch the heart is a real challenge; we can all learn a lot from each other when we reflect upon designs which really DO touch the heart. You might be interested in a World Café which was done on the topic of "Reconciliation". Here's the link:
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this experience.
Greetings from Munich, Pat
