One technique to educate and engage our communities about the issue of safe, decent, and affordable housing is through a style of dialogue called “The World Café”. The World Café offers a flexible formal environment for hosting large and small group dialogues with community members and activists to learn together, offering an effective antidote to the fast-paced fragmentation and lack of connection in today’s world. The Café is built on the assumption that people already have within them the wisdom and creativity to confront even the most difficult challenges. Given the appropriate context and focus, it is possible to access and use this deeper knowledge about what’s important. The World Café enables us to see new ways to make a difference in our lives and work.
