# Create an opportunity for scientists and practitioners of the Science of Structured Dialogic Design (SSDD) from across the world to get together for a whole week and engage in structured democratic dialogues that would help us all not only advance the science and plan its future, but also to get to know each other and become friends.

# Offer a unique opportunity for younger colleagues and people interested to learn more about SDDD and engage in the science or the practice, to meet and interact with world pioneers as well as attend specially designed summer school trainings.

===Justification of the Need===
===Justification of the Need===
The need for far-reaching social transformations in our world is now widely accepted. All stakeholders also accept the fact that changes can also be implemented using participatory, democratic processes. The SDDP is positioned as a powerful tool in this context. The purpose of this very timely symposion in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus year but to create the history of the future.  The community of practitioners of the science of dialogic design has now expanded to include people from all parts of the world and a variety of languages and cultures.  This dedicated community of scientists will gather for this symposion for a week and will deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.


The purpose of this very timely symposion in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus year but to create the history of the future.  The community of practitioners of the science of dialogic design has now expanded to include people from all parts of the world and a variety of languages and cultures.  This dedicated community of scientists will gather for this symposion for a week and will deliberate formally and informally on how to how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.  The Framework of their deliberations will be the Domain of Science Model (DOSM) developed by Warfield and shown graphically below:
Furthermore, we recognise the fact that our third millennium world needs new tools that can protect its sustainability and foster up harmony into its evolution. The Symposion will include sessions dedicated to identifying needs, recognising challenges and exploring options for new features and new solutions.
 
It is very relevant to our present state of the world, since it could convey a possible extension of our SDD practices to include the birth of a global Observatory which might be managed by a group of us and give a relevant service to governments and companies and NGO's during the whole century, by providing the information of the results of application of collaborative action plans in different parts of the world, as well as data, and series of data regarding the main variables that we could establish for a follow-up policy by civilians all around the planet.  Our third millennium world needs new tools that can protect its sustainability and foster up harmony into its evolution.
 


The Symposion is furthermore very relevant to our present state of the world, since it could convey a possible extension of our SDD practices to include the birth of a Global Observatory. This could be managed by a group of us and give a relevant service to governments and companies and NGO's during the whole 21st century. The Global Observatory could be providing information of the results of applications of collaborative action plans in different parts of the world, as well as data, and series of data regarding the main variables that we could establish for a follow-up policy by civilians all around the planet.
 
No claim is being made abour the superiority of SDD, even though there is substantial empirical evidence, from more than 1,000 applications in the arena, to this effect when dealing with the management of complexity.  SDD belongs to the Third Phase of science, and as a consequence it is meant to be complementary to other methodologies originating from First and Second phases of science.
 
I am attaching a power pont presentation of my colleague Dr. Tom Flanagan, made in 2008 to a group of World Bank emplyoees, that you might find informative regarding some of the attributes of the methodology.  It alos includes the description of three interesting cases of application.  Finally, if you would like to dig deeper ( I know you are a superb archaelogist of knowledge) please visit the link:

In sum, no claim is being made abour the superiority of the SDDP, even though there is substantial empirical evidence, from more than 1,000 applications in the arena, to this effect when dealing with the management of complexity.  SDDP belongs to the Third Phase of science, and as a consequence it is meant to be complementary to other methodologies originating from First and Second phases of science.




===A Glimpse into the Preliminary program===
===A Glimpse into the Preliminary program===
# Get to know each other and what everyone is doing: We intend to invite participants to their 5 minutes of fame by making a short, TEDx-style, presentation. The presentation will be videotaped using quality systems. To present, one should submit a video 3 months ahead of time: to ensure that people are truly preparing for such a short, but very rich presentation. At the launch of ever day's program, a few people will be presenting. To support the preparation people will be asked to offer answers to questions like who s/he is, what s/he is doing, interests, dreams etc...

# SDDP to define future features of Cogniscope- and Cognicope analogous software. An analogous virtual SDDP was organised more than 4 years ago and has driven developments since then. The vision is for a new process to kindle developments for the next 3-4 years using the authentic needs, ideas, and wishes of the community of scientists and practitioners.
