Relational theory now provides cutting edge ideas relevant to practices across the professions.

This 6-week online course introduces common premises and orienting ideas central to relational theory. The course consists of six modules with online conference meetings, readings, videos and online dialogues.
There will be six “live” conference calls for this course held on Mondays from 3:00 PM- 4:30 PM New York time/eastern US time.

World Appreciative Inquiry Conference: Generating Constructive Conversations for the Common Good
March 19 – 22, 2019
Nice, France
Webpage: http://waic2019.com/
Information
Brief description:
The World AI Conference will focus on how we take care of the common good, the scope of public life There are already examples of actions that illustrate the power of the totality principle: when a large number of people experience it, it awakens the collective creative forces, creates an effect of concentration of these forces and leads to committed action towards social, economic and sustainable development innovations.
The WAIC 2019 in France will precisely focus on this set of experiences and questions in order to envision how AI is contributing to a better world, from the one to the whole, in our human communities. The positive revolution brought by Appreciative Inquiry turns around organizational and managerial ways of thinking and sheds new light on the life of organizations, but not only …It also enlightens individual developments: human beings do not necessarily have to go through painful episodes to live better, they can also and above all rely on their strengths and develop them. This is also true for families and organizations as shown through many experiences lead by AI practitioners around the world. The conference is designed to explore, in our conversations in Nice, how we are acting with AI to build a better inner world, a better world with our loved ones, in our organizations and in the communities which we take part to.
