“Whenever knowledge connects with knowledge, new combinations spontaneously take place. Ideas spark ideas, which synthesize with each other until more knowledge results. It is completely natural... Sharing knowledge means bringing more people into the conversation.”

Stories

The World Café has grown through networks of friendship and the sharing of stories; for us story is the currency of conversation, the lifeblood of relationship. The stories we tell about our World Café experiences help us articulate what we have learned and deepen our collective understanding of this work.

Stories also show the range of our impact around the world, as shown by the global map on the Impact page.

World Café stories range from community conversations held in villages and town halls to policy decisions in government and public institutions, to product assessment in corporate boardrooms. Together they tell the story of a powerful and far-reaching movement that taps the human need to reach out to each other in collaboration as we plot the course of our futures and make meaning of what we are learning together.

New stories are being collected everyday in the World Café community StoryNet, where we invite you to share your own experiences with World Café.
