1. Issues that are emerging
How to get an overview of the program?
How to improvise a working program?
How to link to local context? How to teach it for this context?
Context specific issues: lack of energy; skills for teachers; technological skills
Need for a program for schools that take these issues and opportunities to young children.
Prevention is better than cure. How to save the young people from the mistakes of their elders? How to
bypass past mistakes? How to get deeply in touch with nature?
How to get spiritually connected with ourselves and nature?
The interface between a great program and the realities on the ground
Need to think more …
Difficulties to move from one stage (social) to another
Need for different kinds of communications – tend to focus on IT and loose some of other important
ways of communicating
Identify emerging needs for older forms of communication
Relationship with Mother Earth: mirrors how we relate to each other. If Earth is a resource then we tend
to look at humanity also as a resource.
Different kinds of needs and who is control of these. Communications in the name of efficiency. Do we
lose the possibility for reflection and connectedness in this? We do not see technology as the sole way
for communicating.
There are different forms of communication so technology is a tool. We must create other spaces for
rational and irrational to allow us to get closer. The world is fragmented and we have fragmented
knowledge too. How to make a whole spirit of it in the Cosmos and to our local reality/context.
Integration of the synthetic and the analytic – both have a place in human affairs. To move forward we
need to synthetic approach for collaboration and relationship; to ground this we need the analytic as it
helps us understand context and ground our work.
Energy – physical for IT etc; intellectual – the ideas we use; empathic – relational is embodied. The role
of interpretation in effective (whole) communication)

2. Lot of potential here in this group – we must ensure not to lose the opportunity
We need to study the past to engage the future
Let’s maximize the impact of this platform
Need for less developed contexts to find a away to keep pace with others in the network
(technology/energy again)
There is not one model for communication – humility, play, openness, trust are needed. Slow time is
important – patience
Communicating beyond words
We are at the beginning of a global activity that will have a positive impact for all the world not just
Sweden. This is a global party – organize a feedback mechanism for this group
Research the difference between countries to give information on custom, attitude, history, natural
environment, values etc…
We must study for understanding each other – we think more alike than differently. This is a surprise
but also a good discovery
There is an economy of relationships and we need to be able to be inclusive enough to manage the
differences
This is a good start to a way of being that is relational and built on deepening our understanding of
communication
