Dialog & Diskurs - Stammtisch 2.0 und 3.0Strukturierter Dialog Design / SDDP)

Heiner Benking, Open-Forum; Rolf Schneidereit, Institut für Stakeholder-DialogHeiner Benking, Open-Forum

Das Halb-Rundgespräch im Garten war improvisiert und lebendig, schnell gind es tief in die Diskussion um synchron und asynchron, liquid, … etc.

Rolf Schneidereit vom Institut für Stakeholder-Dialog eröffnete die Konversation mit einer Definition des Begriffs “Dialog” und der Abgrenzung gegenüber Downloading und Debatte. Hier die Powerpoints: http://www.gov20.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vom_Disput_zum_Dialog1.pdf

Heiner Benking folgte mit einem update zu Stammtisch 2.0 und 3.0 seit 2009 und was mit neuen Gesprächs- und Erörterungsformaten real und virtuell gemeint ist. Siehe Structured Dialogic Design und Cogniscope.

KURZ- BERICHTDie Beiträge gingen um die Frage ob Dialog und Demokratie im Netz abgebildet werden können, wie und was synchon oder asynchron abgebildet werden kann, ob es eine ideale –catch-all” Lösungen gibt und was der Ursprung von “Liquid Demorcray” ist. Benking verwies auf dei Diskussion zu Fluid, Dyanamic, Floating, Liquid Democracy for 5 Jahren. benking.de/dialog/conversations-dialogues2006.pdf

Die Runde war selbstorganisiert, lebendig und tief, Monologe blieben beschränkt.

HARMONIZATIONThe first and most central entry points have been around a G7 and SRU German Environmental experts initiative which was taken up by the UN- Environment Programme

UNEP - HEM. late 1980 -- 1992

GLOBAL CHANGE

The other started with the GLOBAL CHANGE conference

1988 in Moscow. Germany and other countries had been invited to present „Challenges to Science and Politics“ in form of Conferences and Exhibitions. As I was invited to contribute I had to think anew on how such complex Issues could be communicated to the broader public, raising awareness and consciousness, and being correct and helpful for scientists, politicians, and industry at the same time. I go public now 1998 as after having this touring exhibition 8 years in Germany, but never been shown outside Germany, and being updated and in high demand, there is high danger of losing this piece and milestone. Politics look east and local when the exhibition was opened in May 1990. The result we have no public eye and information about the exhibition, its scope and results. As this is fatal in my view, I fee I have to change and address that.

I could have also called this UIA guest page GLOBAL CHANGE or LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHANGE - as my work started about global environmental issues in 1988 with such wide and universal themes. Only because I was involved in two or more projects at that time, and have a certain background which was about preparing and documenting decisions and presenting results, I was able to make the bridge, combine what normally is not seen as one - or in one solution. As both project concepts are not only of wider interest and unique in their approach, specially in their time we are proposing here to follow each background independently and then join in again the flow of events.

Walls of menace to the Environment Breaking down the walls that constrain environmental and sustainable development prospects). [Audio and Video]

New Science, new Language, new Thinking ?

HOW ABOUT? OLD and proven, traditional and NEW

Thinking and Doing and Sharing ?

Whoever imagines mental deep permeable barriers

which actually do not exist  and then thinks them away, has understood the world. 

As space is entrapped in geometry's network of lines,  thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws. 

Maps make the world comprehensible to us;  we are still waiting for the star-maps of the spirit.  In the same way than ambling through fields  we risk getting lost, the spirit negotiates its terrain.

Friedrich Rückert, Wisdom of the Brahmins a didactic poem,

Charles T. Brooks in 1882 * this is a critical translation issue: WALLS a& BOUNDARIES are „man-made“ – have no equivalent in Nature. The term Schranken therfore can be trasnlated as restraining bounds, or semiphors, barriers & temporary permeable or translucent / transparent material/strata/membranes/transition zones).

Please note: This contribution was announced on short notice, to take right after the PRESS CONFERENCE at the very end of the 3 days of “EXPLORING THE DIGITAL FUTURE”. There was not time to prepare a WHITE PAPER on October 28– so this can follow here and needs to be updated and improved !!

I have added and linked KEYWORDS (below) so some material on the way can be easily accessed. More, like on last years Berlin 100, 200, 300 years celebrations, follow from the next slides.

The next slides – some of them have been presented in Berlin – were taken from the GYC 2011 conference the author presented in Geneva in October.

The collection below will be changed in the next months ! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF RECORDING WITH AUDIO the following set of slides – SO PLEASE COME BACK !!

N) Proposal for Anna-Lindh-Foundation,  European – Mediteranian Countries, Berlin-Alexandria 2008. Transcultural Dialog and Peace-MakingRoundtable learning from experience during the last 40 years and new ideas Stumbling blocks preventing true dialog, peace-making, and reconciliation:1) we fight over words but do not check the meaning,2) we do not question and compare the values attached to statements and attitudes, 3) we do not contextualize and embody concepts and meaning, do not check the sectors, regions, scales, proportions and consequences of alternative actions, 4) we do not give voice, empower, listen, cherish and cultivate difference or variety in dialog and decision making, 5) Disorientation and dumbing-down in Cyberculture and a mis-administered and misunderstood, intangible “Globalisation / Glocalisation”: Where we get overloaded by communication noise (sign/symbol melange) and media demagogy which means: no trust and fidelity in the statements and no ways and means to check the credibility and impact/relevance, and get lost between the scales, brackets, and sectors.6) The above incompatibility and incomparability opens the door for over-claims and oversimplifications. Leaders use intangible jargon (plastic-words), neglect impacts and avoid instead of exploring differences and alternatives.
