I'm happy to be reminded about the change workshop, and of our conversations too. I know exactly this sort of feeling you are describing. I was thinking the same when I saw Max-Neef in the slides for the Change Workshop. Speaking of education, I recently interviewed for a place on the Certificate of Education course at Shhumacher College, and I think that went well. I'm excited at the prospect. And finally to anyone who has visited this page before, why didn't anyone tell me I spelt "schools" wrong in the title? 3) Hey Vincent, your comment has made me very happy!

Anyway, there are some moments when several things interconnect in a very sudden and consistent way. I will try to summarize quickly : I thought about you Entered your name on Google Found your blog Read some articles In particular the one about Max-Neef and Rosenberg. Also made the connection to NVC and Rosenberg which I appreciate a lot I clicked on your link to Max-Neef Saw the books he wrote Discover that my son talked to me about one of these books My son is spending 5 months in Guatemala helping a local NGO Sent a mail to my son about Max-Neef and Rosenberg It is strange as sometimes you have a feeling of coherent interconnection between interests, people, thoughts, ... Anyway, speaking about education, I wanted to share with you a very simple and nice book for children (and we are all children) : "If the World Were a Village: A Book about the World's People" Have a nice day ! Vincent Hi Mark,

I was surfing at the end of my working day, reading some blogs I enjoy about slow movement and this kind of stuff, then by association I thought about some discussions I had during the very interesting workshop on Change Management in London, in particular I thought about what you said and about your life, having the feeling that you try to do something valuable which I am very confident you are doing. Anyway, there are some moments when several things interconnect in a very sudden and consistent way. I will try to summarize quickly :

I thought about you
Entered your name on Google
Found your blog
Read some articles
In particular the one about Max-Neef and Rosenberg.
Also made the connection to NVC and Rosenberg which I appreciate a lot
I clicked on your link to Max-Neef
Saw the books he wrote
Discover that my son talked to me about one of these books
My son is spending 5 months in Guatemala helping a local NGO
Sent a mail to my son about Max-Neef and Rosenberg

It is strange as sometimes you have a feeling of coherent interconnection between interests, people, thoughts, …

Anyway, speaking about education, I wanted to share with you a very simple and nice book for children (and we are all children) :

“If the World Were a Village: A Book about the World’s People”

Have a nice day !

Vincent
