***We’ve now added an optional (FREE) workshop on Monday 13 June at Hub Melbourne. The workshop is for concept development and implementation planning of those who are keen to see ideas turned in to action and learn how to apply the design thinking approach to projects and enterprises. If you are already registered for Gathering ’11, you can register for the Concept Development Workshop here. ***
Using the World Café process, Open Space Technology and drawing from the methodology of Improv, Presencing and Theory U, our intention is to provide a space and experience that supports the emergence of socially innovative and transformative ideas, and is a platform for their development in to implementable projects and enterprises.
