Topic

The Foodsaving International Tours : get a common vision, get down to planning

[Meeting begins: 11:40]

Minutes

Sharing our visions for the tour

Using pieces of paper, we read out loud and position these ideas trying to follow certain categories. A possible combination of 4 categories:

foodshaving in practice	internal structure - no hierarchy, more love, functioning communities
learn more about foodsharing in different cultural contexts	transforming hierarchies
allow communities to become self-aware so that they can use the tool	self-organization
meet foodsaving initiatives → adapt the platform according to their needs	inspire, get inspired, organize structure, to inform, to connect, to learn
get personal feedback from the foodsaving tool	openness : everybody should feel invited
support emerging communities and help them with foodsharing experience	group actions in the streets, creating events
plant seeds for starting foodsharing (theoretically speaking)	education : a traveling school
offer tools to aid organization	wider yunity network

vision and awareness	networking for a global transition
to spread the idea of unconditional sharing through foodshaving	connect active communities and build a bigger movement of trust
distribute resources more efficiently with the thought of justice	connection: with people and projects, to connect and share knowledge, ideas, actions and resources
embody our philosophy	observe how communities interact
to spread organized unity and love	building networks
love	creating a network : to make a lifestyle possible which everybody dreams to live
peace	change the world : a global unified organization not on a specific topic but general
happiness	empower and connect communities
freedom	improve connections between projects
personal growth	connect people who can help each other together
sustainability	unify communication with active people worldwide
understanding, comprehension	find out needs that are unmet within projects and between projects
awareness : lifestyle. every action has an effect.	map of initiatives / movements in one area
to spread the idea, build up a global network of travelers. destroy borders in our thinking.	establish unified communication with active people worldwide
have fun, meet new people	collaboration : networks and groups who support each other
spread and inspire sharing cultures among different circles	to spread the idea, build up a global network of travelers. destroy borders in our thinking.
	reduce distrust between projects + improve communication

Questions about how to proceed with the meeting: some feel like they have a good overview of the vision and we can proceed to details of the planning, some want to continue with the dragon dreaming method, some want to go more into the details of what was written on the board...

Proposal for a syscon by Paul: follow with a WorldCafé style meeting, making 2 groups: the dreamers and the planners. The proposal develops into: two daily WorldCafé style meetings at different timeframes, one for planning the tour, one for exploring the vision of the tour, with clear communication between the two. Syscon procedure is somehow broken.

Only valid decision: creating a mindmap off of the ideas on the board (Selina & Anna are interested).

Feedback round

LS: bad feelings, about the group splitting up

TR: splitting up can make sense so let's not get frustrated. The organization of the organization was poor

PF: intention of the meeting wasn't clear enough

CM: we will figure it out and make it happen

LS: important for me to know that other people don't feel bad about the meeting

JA: no clear agenda

[Meeting ends: around 13:30]
