A call to gather in Amsterdam
A small group of CPsquare members (and people who'd consider becoming members) will meet for a day-long, informal session in Amsterdam on June 13th, 2004, the day before the
International Conference on Communities of Practice on June 14 and 15 (where several CPsquare members will present work on technology, learning, design, and improvisation). The CPsquare meeting is member-organized and facilitated and will include the following kinds of discussions:
- Getting acquainted with other CPsquare members -- leaders in the study and practice of cultivating communities
- Individual case studies and problem solving sessions: a case presentation and ensuing discussion could last a half hour or more
- Recently published or in progress research projects: what does the field look like? What's not being studied?
- Scanning the horizon: thinking about the future of CPsquare, of individual projects, of related organizations and initiatives.
- Networking and informal conversations over lunch, dinner, or drinks.
Write
John.Smith@LearningAlliances.net for details. There will be a fee (for both members and our guests) to cover expenses and CPsquare's administrative costs.
The day after the Vir-Com conference (on June 16), Nancy White and John Smith are offering a one-day workshop on "
Strengthening the Heartbeat of Distributed Communities: online events, planning and facilitation".
See the flyer that describes goals and take-aways.
Originally we were planning to hold the CPsquare Open House event in The Hague, but did not find a place for the envet, so it's being held in Amsterdam
