Re-Imagining Education: Beyond the Pandemic
2021-04-14 10:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
Where are we now, living with a global pandemic in all the different ways we are experiencing it in different parts of the world? What can we anticipate or imagine coming next, and in what timeline/s?
How has life on campus changed for students and faculty? What are we learning that might be useful in designing the learning environments of the future?
The World Cafe Community Foundation is excited to be collaborating with Emory University and the Emory Conversation Project for April’s online Community World Cafe. We’ll be joined by Conversation Project coordinators, students, and faculty from Emory, and we hope we’ll be joined by students and faculty from other Universities as well.
This online Community Cafe is part of an ongoing series we host every month with and for the World Cafe community and for the Central Garden of participatory practices.
Fee: A sliding scale is offered. Let us know if the cost is a challenge. These Community Cafes are for all.
For Community Table subscribers: please use the code that you will find in the Community Table calendar.

(Re)Balancing Work & Life - Community Cafe February 2021
2021-02-08 10:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
So much has changed in the ways how we work and how we spend our “free time” in the past year. For many of us, home office and home-schooling have made it more challenging to separate work and (family) life. For some, the crisis has also brought the need to take on even more work in order to be able to pay the bills.
And yet: hosting ourselves, taking care of our own needs is a vital part of (re-)balancing.
And for some of us, it’s not just about a balance between work and life – it can be balancing the different parts of our life – self-care, care for children & family, the needs of our community. And it’s not only about time – it’s also about space. What is the new space you are navigating now?
For some it might be finding a balance for the first time, for others, it may be finding your way back to balance.
This gathering provides a space to reflect together, without judging or comparing. Time to dig a little deeper into your own balancing acts and to learn from others how they (re-)find their balance.
This online Community Cafe is part of an ongoing series we host every month with and for the World Cafe community and for the Central Garden of participatory practices. These Cafes offer us all an opportunity to get to know one another, learn from our diversity, and weave the web of our global perspective as an international community.

These Community Cafes offer us an opportunity to get to know one another, learn from our diversity, and weave the web of our international community.
This month we have an additional focus, beyond the topical theme (which will be focused on connections). Every year one of these Community World Cafes coincides with the World Cafe Hosting Fundamentals course we offer annually at Fielding Graduate University. We make that Community World Cafe a kind of “Teaching Cafe” as part of the course curriculum, giving the students (and everyone else) a bit of a meta-view into the World Cafe format … why we do the things we do, etc.
Co-hosted by Amy Lenzo, Director of the World Cafe Signature Learning Programs, and instructor for the Hosting Fundamentals course at Fielding.

IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL
The purpose for these Community World Cafes is to offer a space for the community to be in conversation about what matters to us.
Come – let’s take some time in community to sense into this moment and together see what might emerge from it.
Many of us are realizing that the current situation we are in isn’t simply going to go away — we’re in it for “the long haul”. Whether we look at this time as a marathon, a series of short “sprints”, or time spent “on the bench” (voluntary or forced by circumstance), we all need to develop and strengthen the resilience that will serve the needs of our times. Join us for inspiring conversations about being in it for “the long haul”.

This is something extremely special – a combination of celebrating and honouring the contributions of one extraordinary man, and an ongoing inquiry into the nature of collective intelligence that he first sparked over two decades ago.

As co-founder of the World Cafe, a primary contributor to the development of the Art of Hosting and the Flow Game, as well as a leader of the inquiry into collective consciousness – Finn’s is an Origin Story with relevance in many fields.

In this 25th Anniversary year for the World Cafe, we’re offering this event as a way to come together as a “central garden” of participatory practitioners & celebrate Finn’s legacy… all who feel connected to Finn and his inquiry into engaging collective intelligence and the “Magic in the Middle” are welcome!

It is storytime!
During this Community Cafe, we will take time to listen to our stories – they are the foundation for our collective learning.
Come and bring your stories: about your experiences as a participant and as a host of World Cafe and other participatory practices.
Here are some of the prompts that are “in the making”. Tell us about a time when you felt the Magic in the Middle. Tell us about questions that traveled especially well. Tell us about big and small World Cafes, about your onsite and online experiences. Tell us about a time when a “mistake” created space for something new.
This online Community Cafe is part of an ongoing series we host every month with and for the World Cafe community and for the Central Garden of participatory practices.
These Cafes offer us all an opportunity to get to know one another, learn from our diversity, and weave the web of our global perspective as an international community.
We ask for a small contribution (between $5 – $30) to help us fund these Community Cafes, and appreciate your gift in advance.

This Community Cafe has been inspired by the African proverb: “It takes a village to raise a child.”
What if … it takes a village to do the work that Life is asking of us?
What if … we can be “villagers” for and with each other?
What if … we take time to explore together the qualities of living in this “glo-cal village”?
We invite you to listen to each other as we engage in conversations around these questions.

Chamando facilitadores do Brasil, mais uma vez… 😉
Em momentos de incertezas, nós, facilitadores de conversas, temos um papel fundamental.
No último 1 de abril fizemos um World Café para explorarmos juntos o nosso papel neste momento do mundo.
Agora estamos convidando para uma segunda rodada, utilizando o Open Space online, para podermos propor e participar de conversas sobre perguntas e estratégias que estamos vivenciando.
Data e Horário: quarta-feira, 22 de abril, 13h30 – 16h30 (horário de Brasília)
Contribuição: R$20*
*quem não possui os meios de contribuir, por favor, mande um e-mail para augusto@theworldcafe.com
Depois de se cadastrar, você receberá um link para entrar em nosso espaço de eventos. Estaremos na plataforma a partir de 13h no dia 22 de abril para quem quiser se acomodar no espaço.
Esse encontro virtual terá o formato de Open Space, onde você terá uma oportunidade de propor temas sobre suas questões e suas ideias, estratégias e projetos – e/ou participar no tema de outros colegas.
Anfitriado por James, Michelle e Augusto, participantes das comunidades do World Café, Art of Hosting, U-Lab e tantas outras.
