|
Sponsored by Santa Clara Valley Water District, this 22 foot replica of the earth is one of seven worldwide. Two are owned by Whereabouts, the company supplying it for our conference; the other five are in museums. Each model is comprised of 24 Dacron and silk panels and requires about 500 hours to paint. The Earth Balloon offers a rare opportunity to walk inside and gaze at our planet, gain a new perspective and envision a new future. |
Through the World Café we create the future we want rather than settle for the future we get. This new technology has caused breakthrough results in groups that vary in size from 12 to 700, in subjects ranging from annual business budgets to walkable communities, and in locations from Seattle to Saudi Arabia. The World Café is based on the assumption that we already have the wisdom and ingenuity to address our biggest challenges. Its methodology relies on something we all know how to do-have a good conversation. Thomas Hurley will guide us in a collaborative inquiry through which we discover shared meaning, access collective intelligence, generate new knowledge, deepen trust, and experience new levels of creativity that inspire, align and move us into action. |
A compendium of tools and resources to further accelerate action is posted in the Here we have posted resources for government, business, and communities uncovered through our research including information on how to move forward, how others have succeeded, and their lessons learned. |
