Co-Lead Lab Workshop Series: The Art of Hosting

This workshop is designed to deepen participant understanding of conversation-based methodologies and the underlying mental models that encourage co-learning and collective action. Participants will learn three methodologies through practice, i.e. World Café, Open Space and Circle. The Art of Hosting is an international learning community of practitioners who harness the collective wisdom and self-organizing capacity of groups and organizations engaged in systems change and innovation. Groups and organizations that use the Art of Hosting as a working practice report better decision-making, more efficient and effective capacity building and greater ability to quickly respond to opportunity, challenge and change. People who experience the Art of Hosting typically say that they walk away feeling more empowered and able to guide the meetings and conversations they are part of move towards more effective and desirable outcomes.
