**Christian Michel - What are values?** ‘Value’ is one of those loaded words we encounter every day. Value pops up in conversations between mathematicians (‘the value of x’), priests and philosophers (‘moral values’), politicians (‘British values’), economists (‘value as distinct from price’), artists (‘is beauty a bourgeois value?’) ... Across its countless uses, does the word refer to a common quality? If it exists, where is the ‘valueness’ in value – as there would be a Hegelian ‘redness’ in all the appearances of red in the world? Is value a subjective judgement, anything that floats my boat? Or do values exist independently of any valuer’s opinion, for instance residing in nature, or in God’s plan for it? Or are values constructed, arising from human practices, conventions, and rational agreements? If so, could we ever construct a set of values around which to reconcile humanity? We live in a time when the most established values our parents and grandparents lived by – human dignity, individual rights, democracy, social justice, truth and beauty… – are contested or ignored. Does it mean that the notion of value itself is obsolete, or that we simply don’t understand it? **Christian Michel** is a journalist, essayist, who teaches economics at City Lit and has been a frequent speaker at Kant’s Cave over the years.

English - see at the end. Geachte mede-organisator van de toekomst, In onze voortdurend streven om faciliteren te ondersteunen, nodigen IAF-Netherlands en LEF Future Center je uit om de toekomst te faciliteren - in het LEF Future Center Nieuwe technologieën, veranderende sociale dynamiek en wereldwijde uitdagingen transformeren de manier waarop mensen samenwerken, leren en samen beslissen. Ons doel in deze bijeenkomst is om te onderzoeken wat facilitering zou kunnen worden in dit evoluerende landschap: het ontwerpen van sessies, onze competenties, leren van de toekomst zoals die zich voordoet. Samen zullen we experimenteren, reflecteren en mogelijkheden cocreëren voor de volgende generatie van facilitatoren, katalysatoren en procesbegeleiders. AGENDA 13.00 Ontvangst 13.30 Opening Check-in - door een deelnemer De Toekomst Achteraf - hoe komen we hier, waar gaan we naartoe? 15.00 Pauze De Toekomst Achteraf (vervolg) - drie paden en hun keuzes Wat ga je de volgende keer (anders) doen? 16.30 Check-out en afsluiting Een vrijwillige bijdrage aan de IAF-Netherlands wordt op prijs gesteld. LET OP: tot mijn verbazing vraagt MeetUp om een plan te kiezen, wanneer je nieuw bent. :-( Twee opties: \- kies "continue with a free plan"\, staat er in kleine letters en dan nog een keer\. \- registreer je rechtsstreeks bij mij\, door me te mailen \(of via [iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl](mailto:iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl)). Om deel te nemen hebben we tijdig - voor 19 december - je naam en e-mail adres nodig. MeetUp geeft die ook niet meer door :-(. Stuur je e-mail adres naar iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl . Wanneer je geen Rijksmedewerker bent, dien je je bij aankomst te identificeren. We kijken uit naar jullie deelname, Jan Lelie CPF\|M interim voorzitter IAF-Netherlands Dear co-organiser of the future, In our continuing effort to support facilitation IAF-Netherlands and LEF Future Center invites you to *facilitate the future* — at the LEF Future Center New technologies, shifting social dynamics, and global challenges are transforming how people work, learn, and decide together. Our purpose in this meeting is to explore what facilitation might become in this evolving landscape: designing sessions, our competencies, learning from the future as it emerges. Together, we will experiment, reflect, and co-create possibilities for the next generation of facilitation. AGENDA 13.00 Reception 13.30 Opening Check-in - by a participant The Future Afterwards - how do we get here, where are we going? 15.00 Pause The Future Afterwards (continued) - three paths and their choices What will you do next time (differently)? 16.30 Check-out and closure A voluntary contribution to the IAF-Netherlands is appreciated. NOTE: to my surprise, MeetUp asks you to choose a plan when you are new :-( . Two options: \- choose "continue with a free plan"\, it says in lowercase and then again\. \- register directly with me\, by emailing me \(or via iaf\-netherlands@kpnmail\.nl\)\. To participate we need your name and e-mail address in good time - before 19 December. MeetUp doesn't pass it on anymore :-(. Send your e-mail address to iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl .

Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
