 * A MESSAGE TO COLLEAGUES REGARDING THREE VIDEOS SPANNING THREE DECADES OF APPLICATIONS OF THE SCIENCE:**

Dear Colleagues;

Today I had the opportunity to go back and watch a video from my younger days as the Director of the Center for Interactive Management (CIM) at George Mason University, when I was a partner of John Warfield, and we were doing the early phases of the evolution of the science of dialogue and generic design. This visit triggered in my mind the idea for sharing with you three short videos spanning three decades of history. These are:

1)The first video produced in **1987** by Professor Ben Broome at the Center for Interactive Management at GMU, describes the design of an American government agency, the **National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS),** with the engagement of its stakeholders:

 =A blast from the past: = = @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Vf6SKlO8Y = = = = @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iLxijc4jK8 =

You will appreciate in this early application the sensitivity and appreciation bu the team of workshop participants of the importance of engaging staekholders in designing their social systems, especially in the testimony by the Director of the agency Mr. Ted Gordon.

2) The second video was produced in **2010**, in the context of the **Act Beyond Borders** project, by Jeff Diedrich following the completion of a Futures-Creative Archetype application of three colaboratories with the engagement of a group consisting of 12 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. They spent one week in Larnaka, Cyprus, co-designing a symbiotic future for their people:

In this video you will see the **Visionary Tree** of a symbiosis of Palestinians and Israelis as conceptualised by the participants, as well as the barriers that they must overcome to approximate their idealisation.

3) The third video is a documentary titled **"Dialogue beyond borders."** It was produced in January **2016,** by Maria Kakoulaki, after spendindg six months talking to Turkish and Greek Cypriots on the island of Cyprus, and also Palestinians and Israelis who participatd in the Act Beyond Borders project mentioned above:

The documentary presents the perspectives of the people she interviewed regarding the dimensions of Conflict. Borders, Stereotypes, Symbiosis, Dialogue, and Hope for peace and reconciliation.

I thought you might find it interesting to watch in these three videos displaying aspect of almost three decades of the evolution of the science of dialogic design. I remain optimistic that the paradigm shift to the application of the science of dialogue will prevail in the long run, given that it took 300 years for the Catholic church to accept the heliocentric explanation of the planetary system as compared to the geocentric.

Any sharing of comments or feedback will be appreciated.
