\u201cWhenever knowledge connects with knowledge, new combinations spontaneously take place. Ideas spark ideas, which synthesize with each other until more knowledge results. It is completely natural… Sharing knowledge means bringing more people into the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Caf\u00e9 has grown over time through networks of friendship and the sharing of stories; for us story is the currency of conversation, the lifeblood of our relationships. The stories we tell about our World Caf\u00e9 experiences help us articulate what we have learned and deepen our collective understanding of this work and how to host it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

World Caf\u00e9 stories range from tales of community conversations held in villages and town halls to reports of policy decisions in government and public institutions, to evaluative product assessment held in corporate boardrooms. Together they tell the story of a powerful and far-reaching movement that taps the human need to reach out to each other in collaboration as we plot the course of our futures and make meaning of what we are learning together.<\/p>\n
