Slot 3Participation, Dialog, Deliberation, Policy- and Peacemaking
Comedian Eugene Mirman is going to Copenhagen for Grist to cover the international climate talks. Eugene is a fairly well-informed guy (he at least scans Google News looking for reviews of his latest album), but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t live, eat, and smoke climate policy.At his request, the Grist staff threw together a basic cheat sheet on Copenhagen. It’s overly simplistic. It avoids lots of important details. It’s probably offensive. In short, it’s just enough to help Eugene feign cluefulness when he’s accosting world leaders in Denmark.
SOILS and HUMUS see as a started this new FILM (2009) Humus - Forgotten climate aid - The implications are immense, see also the Ignorance statement in the beginning of this presentation, BioChar and Terra Preta. and another You Tube clip Biochar - agrichar - Terra Preta.

To create knowledge in a spirit of openness to the world, integrating new perspectives

To be able to reflect upon one’s own principles and those of others

THE NEED and A WORK-REPORT towards an embodied Covenant
Heiner BenkingIndependent Futurist and Facilitator
Possible elements for a more tangible, practical, and feasible shared Global Learning
Elements needed for a different ways of (GLOBAL) learning and shared action and consensus building
PRE-REQUISIT: Space (tangible=dimensionality and immersion) in multi-dimensional multi-sectorial realmsMODEL THINKING: (also making use of cognitive spaces).
MAPS and (mental) MODELS to provide collectively explorable tangible spaces for multi-media and sign integration, multi-modal thinking and shared cognitive models, see super-signs and meta-models. See, Systems and Model (tangible pragmatics, Culture vs. Cyberculture.
OUTLINE (CONTEXT) -bounds and PATTERN -matching thinking on different levels of details or granularity. See Global Covenant and general comparative studies
DIALOG & DECISION CULTUREsee also extended version of the bullets above
and a GLOSSAR indispensable for immersing into the approaches presented

Vegetarianism: Essential to Save the Planet?
Dec. 13th, 2009
Open Forum Open SpaceVeg Climate Alliance
Copenhagen Workshop
Why Democratic Dialogue?
• Motivations (just a few): • Increasing complexity & globalization of issues • Increasing interconnectedness (systems thinking)
– e.g. Global warming as a symptom: How do we reach agreement on root causes for action?
• Need for citizen participation in public institutions • Weakness of citizens vs. corporations in civil
issues– Not knowing how to make the most difference
• Breakdown of media communications, distrust
• Socratic Dialogue • Gadamer’s hermeneutic dialogue• Habermas’ Communicative Action• Bohm’s “collective meaning”• Bakhtin’s dialogical imagination• Freire’s dialogue in education & social action• Facilitated dialogue, Art of Hosting• Talking Stick – World Cafe• Structured Dialogue – Dialogic Design• Magic Roundtables
How we Dialogue
TOPIC 1
Re-inventing Democracy with generative and disciplined transdisciplinary – intergenerational – intercultural
Dialogues and Conversationshttp://open-forum.de/open-space-open-forum.html
The graph and some links were developed around the Leadership Development Dialog and Diversity site and initiative from the late 90ies: http://open-forum.de/guide2dialog-VUMC--1999.htm
So let us check below some hurdles and barriers we have to address which prevent us from reaching the objectives of :

Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research Altenberg Workshops 1996/97 30. January 1997, Austria, Worldview Compositions and Cognitive Spaces - a necessary evolutionary step by Heiner Benking

Subtitle of Fig 1: Although the perspectives of the world's people vary in space and time, every human concern falls somewhere on the space time graph. The majority of the world's people are concerned with matters that effect only family or friends over a short period of time. Others look far ahead in time or over a large area - a city or a nation. Only few people have a perspective that extends far into the future. *Later we can read in the book: that in contrast to the majorities focus in the quadrant in the lower left “box”, the book concerns itself with the upper right quadrant or “box”.
