In 2011, I introduced The World Café into ITU, the UN ICT agency, where I was then employed. The World Café was developed by Juanita Brown and David Isaacs and now comprises a global community of practitioners.

I see from David's comment that you held a Peace Café. I would love to hear more about it.
