Do you know what is the difference between dialogue and discussion?
Anyway just take your vocabulary and take a look what both of them mean.
In general in dialogue you try to understand on the point of view of other person, see it and learn from it rather then just add another comment about the things previously said.
So, the conception was this one and we had 12 topics to choose and participate. All of this was transmited via live.ic2006.pl, so you have an opportunity to find everything there.
I was deciding about the topic for a long time and eventually joined a group of people with topic: Who will change the world.
There was around 35 people in a corner of a huge planery sitting on the floor and LISTENING to each other. There was different cultures, there was different ages, there was diversity. And as all of you know the diversity is one of the success factors for good outcomes.
You can see all the discussion on the web site.
I just want to share with you one thought I had constantly for a long time from now and it is about this: if we are so cool and we are going to change a world why it is so difficult for most of us to change ourselves. No, you just remember the last time you wanted to change something in your life and what was the results? Yeap, I had some problems with this too.
Just think about how you are going to change something and someone around you if you can't make yourself to get out of the bed in the morning while you need to go to university. And now decide whether you stop talking about changing the world or you start making changes in yourselves.
Sorry for such a long post. Hope you find something usefull for you here. Just remember you don't need to take my point of view as your own, you just need to see the stuff from my perspective and decide if you can learn something from it.
Keep in touch, guys.
