A - connect participants to the meaning for them, the…

- 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.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this experience.
Greetings from Munich, Pat
