The World Café is a powerful social technology for engaging people in conversations that matter, offering an effective antidote to the fast-paced fragmentation and lack of connection in today’s world. Based on the understanding that conversation is the core process that drives personal, business, and organizational life, the World Café is more than a method, a process, or technique – it’s a way of thinking and being together sourced in a philosophy of Conversational Leadership. Conversational leadership takes root when leaders see their organizations as dynamic webs of conversation and consider conversation as a core process for effecting positive systemic change. Taking a strategic approach to this core process can not only grow intellectual and social capital, but also provide a collaborative advantage in our increasingly networked world.
In Greece, AoHAthina has been offering the Art of Participatory Leadership Trainings for the past eight years, bringing a new form of leadership where collaboration and participation open new possibilities. In addition, The World Café Hellas Group has been practicing and translating The World Café book, recognizing that through Collaborative Leadership, we can bring generative change to how our companies, organisations, schools, etc. A community of practice is emerging, calling in new practices that shift leadership from the individual or hero to the collective.
AoHAthina, in partnership with The World Café are bringing this two-day training to Greece so that people can learn how this simple yet powerful approach can bring change to personal practice, organisations and communities. We invite, teachers, managers, social entrepreneurs, people working in companies, civil society organisations, civil servants, students, etc. to join us in this participative and experiential training. The training aims at providing you with the foundational aspects so that you can apply the World Café in different contexts and for different purposes.
Over the two days we will learn:
We will cover these areas by working with The World Café as well as other participatory processes.

I have been facilitating groups and running stakeholder engagement processes for 30 years but the art of hosting provided a new approach to engaging people around their most cherished values and beliefs.
