Facilitating emergence

March 15, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Appreciative Inquiry, Emergence, Facilitation, Learning, Stories, World Cafe, Youth 3 Comments

On Monday I was up in Kamloops taking part in an annual gathering called the “Stop Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth” Conference. That’s a mouthful but it’s a truly wonderful annual gathering hosted by The Justice Institute of British Columbia (itself a great thing we have here in BC).

Unfortunately, it’s necessary …

The project was the brainchild of a number of organizations in the Vancouver, who came together to ask about how the UN convention could be used to draw attention to some of the pressing issues faced by children and youth in Vancouver.
