<p>Hi all! I was thinking recently, that our DF community of practice has been using World Cafe very successfully as the follow-up for our Community Wisdom Councils, and I don't know if we've shared this information yet with the World Cafe community...</p> <p>I used this format myself about two years ago with Ben Roberts, where we hosted three World Cafes in Newtown, Connecticut as a way to share the outcomes of the work that a local Community Wisdom Council had done, with regard to a…</p>

<p>Hi all! I was thinking recently, that our DF community of practice has been using World Cafe very successfully as the follow-up for our Community Wisdom Councils, and I don't know if we've shared this information yet with the World Cafe community...</p> <p>I used this format myself about two years ago with Ben Roberts, where we hosted three World Cafes in Newtown, Connecticut as a way to share the outcomes of the work that a local Community Wisdom Council had done, with regard to a controversial land-use issue.</p> <p>And, I know that my colleagues in Austria <a href="http://www.vorarlberg.at/vorarlberg/umwelt_zukunft/zukunft/buerofuerzukunftsfragen/weitereinformationen/buergerschaftlichesengage/buergerbeteiligung/buergerinnen-raeteinvorar/buergerinnen-raeteinderpr.htm" target="_blank">have done this 30+ times...</a> first hosting a "deep-dive" Community Wisdom Council with a smaller group, then following it up with a World Cafe.</p> <p>The Community Wisdom Council consists of 12-15 people chosen by lot, who work intensively and creatively for a day and a half on a challenging public policy issue using Dynamic Facilitation. Then the Community Wisdom Council shares their work at a larger public gathering, where local officials + the whole community is invited. After some brief initial story-telling by the CWC panel, the larger public meeting is run in a World Cafe format....</p> <p>Since most of this documentation is in German, I have started translating some articles about this. Here is <a href="https://dk-media.s3.amazonaws.com/AA/AL/diapraxis/downloads/284097/WC_Austria_ed3.pdf" target="_blank">an overview</a>... </p> <p>In addition to this work in the pubic engagement sector, some of us have also been using the "Wisdom Council + World Cafe" format in organizations, to surface "organizational elephants" in a constructive and creative way. You can see a brief <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u533_eq-AME" target="_blank">video about this</a> here... </p> <p>Ok, that's it... I hope some of you find this helpful.</p> <p>with all best wishes,</p> <p>Rosa</p> <p><a href="http://www.diapraxis.com">www.diapraxis.com</a></p> <p> </p> tag:www.theworldcafecommunity.org,2009-10-02:3306069:Topic:11774 2009-10-02T22:43:52.357Z Beth Alexander http://www.theworldcafecommunity.org/profile/BethAlexander
