Host a chat

 Host a conversation in your own community at your bookclub, school, office, church, synagogue...

Take the plunge and invite a group of people to a discussion!

Step 1

- Welcome everyone and ask each person in the group to introduce themselves.

- To break the ice, ask each person for a specific example of something great they remember about school.

- Ask them - If you were building a school today, what would it look like? (Would it even be a building?) What would it have in it? What would the students feel like?

- Then ask - in these newly re-imagined schools, how would you define success?

Make sure someone takes notes (and even photographs or video) as you go along.

Or if you want to organize a group of 15 people or more, ask us to come and facilitate the session!

Step 2

- Share the results here!

- What did you find out? Tell us in the discussion forum.

- What surprised you?

- Did some ideas (either a new possibility or a great thing happening now) emerge from your conversations?

Step 3

- Stay "in the loop". Check back to see if your information sparked comments or new discussions.

- Come to our conference on Nov. 7th, 2009 at York U in Torontoto take part in the next steps.
