9:00 to 12:30
Introduction to Strategic Questioning 1:30 to 4:30
In-Depth Mentored Applications
Strategic Questioning is a powerful technique for participatory decision-making in support of institutional, personal, and social change. By assuming good will on the part of those being questioned and examining potential common ground, a strategic questioner can call forth a better solution than he or she may have contemplated, and the person being questioned can join in creation and ownership of the change being sought. For an excellent account of the basics and application of Strategic Questioning to social change, see http://www.crabgrass.org/article01.htm
Paul Lipke will facilitate our workshop. He is regionally and nationally recognized as a leader in the use of strategic questioning to help organizations improve performance by aligning their actions with both authentic human needs and the laws of nature. Paul is Senior Facilitator and Director of Programs and Training for Sustainable Step New England.

Spolight recent coverage Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace members have had over a dozen letters to the Editor published in the Delmar Spotlight in recent weeks. Join us by writing to the Spotlight on any peace related issue (see "Write to" below). They maintain that they are able to publish 99% of all letters received (other 1% not published for being inappropriately "dirty", creating liable, etc.), even if it is a couple weeks late. The opinion pages are the second most read section of any newspaper. Let them hear your views! Write to: The Spotlight, 125 Adams St., Delmar 12054. Or drop off your letter in person. Sue Graves, Executive Editor, is in charge of letters appearing. She has said that if she does not call you regarding your letter, then she "doesn't have it" (they REQUIRE you include your phone number with your letter). Therefore, we recommend calling to confirm that they have it after you have submitted it, or turning it in to Sue in person at the Spotlight office, on Adams just North of Kenwood (turn North onto Adams by the Peter Harris clothes outlet near Four Corners on Kenwood). Spotlight office in on the Left side as you go North (towards Hudson Ave), before the railroad tracks. It is in back of a Jeweler, and not that visible. Spotlight Phone: 439-4949 |
