[Ailist] How would it feel? A few years in the future. Enjoying the memories of being there just when it started.......

[Leif Josefsson]

 *In the future.  Or Now.*

*Now....* The International Conference Center in Tanga, Tanzania is the
place everybody are talking about..
*Now... *Everybody is talking about the African Miracle...  The boom that
started in Southern Africa
*Now... *People are talking about how the paradigm shift from industrial
mindset to a post modern paradigm was enabled by a metaphor shift from
metaphors of the machine world to metaphors of living systems.


*Do you dare to join us?  *

We are looking for no more than 20 people who wants to meet us in Tanga
Tanzania November 25th to November 30th to explore the metaphors of the
future.  Join the Metaphor Safari:  www.metafari.com

The idea had a first ignition spark in an Intranet project.  *"What should
this Intranet be like?"  "I think it should be like a waterhole"  "What is a
waterhole like?" * And a creative explosion followed. Discussions, seminars
around how the intranet could be like a real waterhole.

But then the use metaphors is hardly any new invention. A well known
metaphor safari started 2000 years ago....

It is easy travel to Dar es Salaam.  Day travel (for Europeans).  No
jetlag.  We will help you find transportation.  You will have comfortable
