(Scharmer & Kaufer in “Leading from the emerging future”)

« Avec l’état d’émergence, il y a des embouteillages vers la frontière belge ! » L’amie chilienne qui nous ramenait à la gare de Lille quelques jours après les attentats de Paris voulait bien sûr parler de l’état d’urgence décrété par le gouvernement français. Mais quel magnifique lapsus ! En effet, n’est-il pas temps de rêver et de déclarer l’état d’émergence d’un monde nouveau ?

Nous sommes en crise, non pas parce que nous vivons un quelconque paroxysme pathologique, mais parce que…

Team of five- a husband-wife duo, two brothers, engineer, dietician, doctor, footballer, MBA, from two different states, stationed in front of the computer screen and conversation on skype! I knew the couple but others I  met for the first time on skype and I dared to ask a very philosophical question 'what makes us human'.

The answers were - we are human because we…

Lors de ma première journée de formateur, voilà ce que j'ai appris :

" même dans les situations de formation, nous devons nous considérer comme des facilitateurs et continuer à questionner la communauté sur ce qu'elle propose pour sa solution. Dans ce sens nous sommes moins formateur que facilitateur et toujours en attente d'une réponse potentiellement nouvelle, différente....garder cette aptitude a accueillir et a questionner l'endroit ou est la communauté dans son désir…

Le Pont du Tamarinier is taking the lead with respect to a SALTy Mauritius...It all began in April when there was interest and the opportunity to taste SALT. WOW, some six months on, several SALT events are making a difference within different communities. You know the term 'taste and buy' well Le Pont has bought and is now sharing that SALTy experience. SALT was applied to do self-assessment of LPDT as an organization, but also conducted a Learning Event for staff, volunteers and community…

“But isn’t that just the normal behaviour?” asked one of the students in response to the explanation of the SALT way of thinking and way of working. Together with Boris and Marlou, we went to the Hogeschool of Amsterdam on the 29th of September to transfer CLCP to a group of 17 students.

Following a course in Community Development, they are currently in full preparation for their final projects. One student will be…
