History of CommonGoodGathering|
I've been leading a process like this for the past 12 years. It's the Tutor/Mentor? Connection. We started with 300 on our database in 1993 and now have over 15,000. We use the internet as a meeting place, and information exchange, and as an interchange that connects others with each other. I encourage the group to think of facilitation as part of an on-going process where each action leads to further actions toward a common goal (or goals). I've been trying to enlist professional facilitators to help in this process. At http://jordan-webb.net/tmc you can see surveys organized by a volunteer who also leads the Midwest Facilitators Network (MFN). My hope from a meeting such as the Common Good Gathering is that at many web sites around the world there will be a section with links, or "meeting places" which have links to the web sites/meeting places of everyone else who is hosting this type of process, all organized by category (health, youth, environment, economic development) and sub category (geographic, national, etc.) |
