Perhaps I am unique to the group since I am a Roman Catholic priest and for some years I have been involved in leadership training programs for members of grass-roots organizations throughout Latin America. At present I work in Cochabamba, Bolivia as part of a multi-faceted training and formation center. In recent years I have been using such processes as scenario-building planning, and am a trained practioner in the Presencing social technology /methodolgy (Theory U). A couple years ago I became intrigued with the Lego Serious Play process but have not had the occasion yet to take a training program in it, but look to do so in the near future. However, in an amateurish way I have been using it in so far as I understand it. I find the principal of “play” as a learning environment right on in generating energy, participation and creativity. My interest in all of these methods is to provide people with tools to create and sustain spaces of interchange, dialogue and solidarity for living in a “common intercultural house”.
My personal interests are hiking, music, history, learning about various cultures, and dynamics of social change. i look forward to learning from all of you.
