A deeper look at our agenda:
We’ve thought deeply about how to Connect the Dots. We want to create a mix of skill-building workshops, deep thematic dialogues and enough time to weave our community and share our practice. You’ll notice we start with getting to know each other — a time to get closer to old friends and make new ones. We’ve cast the net wide, and you’ll find a diversity of people attending EuViz 2014 – be prepared to be surprised!
Wednesday Day 1 is about Discovering Patterns. On the afternoon of Day 1 we introduce a series of deep dialogues we’re calling “Tracks”. The Tracks“ offer an opportunity to choose the theme of your choice and get into conversation with others. Tracks are offered on Wednesday Day 1 and Friday Day 3, and will be the bookends of our learning together.
Thursday Day 2 is about Expanding Views. Workshops offer an opportunity to get hands on and practical with skills, methods and practice. There will be both 90 minute and 180 minute workshops. In the afternoon of Thursday Day 2 we dive into our practice stories. We’ll start by hearing from a legend in the field, David Sibbet. We’ll hear about David’s journey and where he finds the edge in his own practice. Then we’ll all share stories and have the opportunity to witness and learn from each other.
On Thursday Day 2 evening we will be expanding views even more… By boat we will be exploring bustling Berlin and its special charme. Talking about special charme – Thursday nights barbecue will introduce you to unique taste of a German Bratwurst or Currywurst. When in Berlin you cannot miss that. We hope for spouses to join us.
On Friday Day 3 we focus on Exploring Possibilities. We’ll go back to the Tracks and take a second look at our themes. You’ll have the opportunity to stay with the same Track or choose a new one. Next everyone gets the chance to propose the next session — that’s what Open Space is all about. Some Track participants might want to stay together and keep talking. Some workshop participants might want to take their skill building further. Or maybe you’ve come to EuViz 2014 with a burning question or a piece of work you want input on — this is the place! And finally, we’ll bring it all together with a group synthesis session reviewing our journey together.
We can’t wait to see you there!
