Our theme for the 2024 year of Community Cafes is “Deepening our Practice”. We will be using the World Cafe Design Principles as our guiding North Star, and each month, we will deepen our inquiry into one of the design principles.
Connecting diverse perspectives means bringing together viewpoints, experiences, and insights from individuals or groups with different backgrounds, cultures, disciplines, and experiences. World Cafe provides the opportunity to connect diverse perspectives in different ways – through conversations in each small group, through moving to new tables, through sharing insights during the harvest.
Cross-pollination is one of the beautiful gifts that World Cafe has brought to the world. We recognize and value the richness that different viewpoints bring to the table and use that diversity to enhance understanding and innovation.
Imagine what might happen if you look through the prism from the right side or from the left. What might happen if you take it in your hand and move it? What are the colors of your lenses?
