[Ailist] Positive things we can do today

[Patricia Lustig]

Dear Friends,

 

I just wanted to let you know about something some colleagues and I are
doing here in the UK.  We are all ready for change and the only way to make
it happen is to do something about it ourselves.  To do this we are running
a series of workshops starting in December, followed by a Summit in May (yes
of course, it is Appreciative Inquiry).  

 

So, the short blurb is that: 

we are "running a short series of enquiry one-day workshops starting on 4
December in London.  Entitled "Creating futures: beyond profit", the
workshops acknowledge the growing realisation that the tipping point has
been reached with recent financial crises; and that the only people who can
make a difference and take action for the future is us: ordinary mortals. 

The enquiry is designed to create alternatives and make them happen; it aims
to bring together future-thinking individuals and organisations who wish to
take an active, positive role in shaping the future. Big scale thinking,
maybe: but recent events have revealed the deep, deep cracks in current
systems and thinking.

More information is available from me (tricia at lasadev.com) or from the
organisers, Change Forum (info at changeforum.co.uk). Tickets are priced at a
nominal fee to cover venue & catering costs, and to encourage and enable
individuals to participate. "

 

I will let the list know how it works out - and what comes out of it.  The
workshops will take place across the UK (including Edinburgh) to try to get
as much input into the Discovery interviews as possible.  Let's see if we
can't uncover and fan the flames of places where things ARE already working.

 

Best regards

Tricia
