Interest continues to grow in the Knowledge Cafe process and many people around the world are running the Cafes or variants of them.
These Cafes have often been inspired by a Gurteen Knowledge Cafe or other Cafes such as the The World Cafe.
The purpose of the Knowledge Cafe is to facilitate open conversation and there any many tools and techniques that enable this. In its broadest sense this includes World Cafes, Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry, After Action Reviews and Anecdote Circles to name but a few other tools and techniques.
I know many people are running Knowledge Cafes and that a lot of knowledge and experience in running them and the use of similar conversational tools such as those I mentioned above has been built up.
The Gurteen Knowledge Community is a global learning community
of over 17,000 people in 160 countries across the world.
The community is for people who are committed to making a difference:
people who wish to share and learn from each other and who strive to see
the world differently, think differently and act differently.
Membership of the Gurteen Knowledge Community is free.
