Design with Dialogue is leadership in the co-creation of positive change in our organizations and communities facilitated by conversations for meaningful action.

Please join us for our first session in 2010, on creating positive social change through civic engagement in community. Our January DwD session is hosted by Daniel Rose of Omakase Group and Mark Kuznicki of ChangeCamp.

Our scenario:

An important event in Toronto in 2010 will be the municipal election. It is a chance for Torontonians to have a collective conversation about the city we want, and to make the election one instrument in creating that desired future. In keeping with the spirit of the Designing with Dialogue group of encouraging positive change, Daniel and Mark will guide the group through some of the theory and techniques espoused by Peter Block, a change maker from Cincinnati, Ohio. Block has written a book called "Community" that outlines techniques and conversations for deepening civic engagement. We will have a chance to learn about some of Block's work and practice some of the techniques.

We will start the evening by sharing our vision and plans for 2010, and a reflection on the lessons of 2009.

Please forward this invitation along to anyone you know who might be interested in attending.
