"How do I create meaningful change while hosting myself and others?"

"How do I create meaningful change while hosting myself and others?"
an ART OF HOSTING Taster Event in Hamburg

How can we create the kind of world that we wish to live in? How can we approach social and environmental challenges with creativity, joy and collective intelligence?

Art of Hosting (AoH) is an emerging set of practices for facilitating group conversations of all sizes, supported by principles that: maximize collective intelligence; welcome and listen to diverse viewpoints; maximize participation and civility; and transform conflict into creative cooperation.

This ART OF HOSTING Taster Event is for those seeking answers to such questions as:

• Where can I start realizing change on a personal level and beyond?
• Which methods can be used to support communication processes for collaborative organisation?
• How can we become inspired, discovering new ways of working together?
