Peaceful World Conversations are part of a movement to
restore the lost art of conversation.
They have become so popular that they are known by a number
of other names: Peace Salons, Peace Conversations,
Conversation Cafés, World Cafés, Peace Cafés, Breakfast
Conversations, and Global Conversations.
Immediate results: These gatherings create the
experience of an empathetic and motivated community sharing
cross-cultural perspectives. Such discussions offer
participants actual experience of the kind of world we are
trying to build.
Long-term results: We are creating a conscious,
global, and deliberate conversational network to
intentionally bring forth a peaceful world. The existing and
evolving reality in which humans live has always been
birthed in ideas, then expressed in groups, and then carried
into action. Peaceful World Conversations combines these
factors and sends its participants out into the world to
share their knowledge.
How is this happening? Our traveling
conversationalists become conversation hosts and network
this peace-building method all over the world.
Peaceful World Conversations invariably help members
nurture their ability to listen to other points of view and
to carefully ponder how their own lives and travels are
affecting the achievement of the kind of world we want for
everybody. These conversations build around important and
carefully chosen questions.
The subject matter of Peaceful World Conversations
relies on what is “up” for the participants – how they
relate to the world around them and the specific actions and
experiences they are having in their lives related to making
a better world and peaceful relationships. We do not
theorize or analyze politics, religion, etc… These
gatherings are all about us and what we are doing and
learning.
As participants talk around a Conversation Table,
they are often reminded of the many other interrelated
discussions that are taking place all over the world. The
ideas and questions that arise out of their conversations
are carried to other places and shared with other people,
so Peaceful World Conversations spontaneously grows into a
network.
