Held in  

World Café

The APCC World Cafe- Connect, Inspire, Transform

This is designed to be a community building, facilitated, group experience. 2-3 questions that matter will be posed to the whole group and conference participants will discuss and answer these questions within their small table groups.  Key ideas coming through will then be shared with the whole room, posted on the walls and categorized into themes which participants can add to and interact with throughout the conference.  See you there.

The  APCC world café will;
  • Help set the context for the conference and the possibilities that might emerge
  • Create a hospitable space, a climate where people can meet each other in small intimate groups, in a relaxed, friendly (café style) environment.  You will be able to network and get to know others
  • Explore questions that matter and how you can get the most out of the conference personally and best contribute.
  • Encourage contributions from all.  You will be able to ease in gently to the conference, reflect individually, share in small groups and hear and view the intelligence inherent in the whole group
  • Connect diverse perspectives.  Participants can cross-pollinate their ideas as they move from one small group to another 
  • Help you to listen together for insights.  This fosters togetherness, opens ears and brings all present for the benefit of all. 
  • Enable the sharing of  collective discoveries.  The group harvest process will help us notice the deeper questions and patterns emerging and recognizes the wisdom inherent in the whole system/ group).
