Program for the SoL Learning Plaza 2022
SoL Learning Plaza 2022, in Stockholm - A Shift towards Living and Learning organizations!
Thank you for joining us for this gathering of hearts and minds, to engage us around some grand challenges of our times. It is becoming obvious that often the solutions we propose are created form the same place where the challenges come from, so they often fail to solve and often even make things worse.
Our intention behind the gathering has been to engage our full selves – as the humans we are – in order to sense, learn and share, in search of foundations for a different future for all of us.
Day 1 of the Plaza is a flow of conversations and stories; of physical and subtle movements – in larger and smaller groups – where every one of us is a storyteller in our own right. Day 2 takes us – physically or digitally – to places where our learning continues in the real-life environment (see further our choices of Learning Visits ).
Here is the overall fabric of the days:
DAY 1, May 31st: CONVERSATIONS
7.45 - 8.50: Attendance registration for the Learning Plaza 2022 (Stockholm)
8.15 You are welcome to join for a quiet meditation or mindfulness practice, to set yourself up for the day. Guided by Ana Arrabe (Parallell online meditation).
8.50 - 9.00 Welcoming online paticipants
9.00 SETTING THE STAGE (in Stockholm and online).
- Coming together - Bring your unique self and your part of the world into the room
- Leadership in a living system - A conversation between Dennis Sandow and Göran Carstedt
- Grand challenges and us - Embodied exploration through group constellation work, Martijn Meima
CONVERSATIONS AHEAD (in Stockholm and online)
- Interactive presentation of the Learning Circles for conversations and dialogues that will take place after lunch. There will be a process ahead of the Learning Plaza to choose which conversations to join. As of today, there are four broad themes for conversations:
• Human wellbeing in systems: Living and working well together in turbulent times
• Regenerative food systems in action
• How we make sense of our challenges: stories of culture and language
• Business as Unusual: the new living and learning organisational paradigm
Other themes might have emerged by the time we meet – stay tuned! The Actual topics for for the Learning Circles/Conversations will be presented about a week ahead of the Plaza.
- How did today’s lunch travel to your plate? (In Stockholm and online)
Healthy food for a sustainable future – What would it take to balance “Organic”, “Locally grown” and “In season” requirements?
