The 2015 International Conference on the Science of Dialogic Design: Symposia for Scientists and Practitioners: Difference between revisions

'''Format:''' The format is not the standard for a typical conference. Every day will have the same structure but a different focus. ; Many sessions will use the [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]]  (SDDP) Methodology; some presentations; very short presentations for specific tasks; contributions to be sent before the actual symposion.

You may opt for a Hotel close to the City Centre (using the filter in Booking.com) or an apartment even outside the city (much cheaper) to combine business with some vacations. The organisers will try to assign whenever possible Local Assistants to international visitors to help them with their transportation and moving around. <br>

The need for far-reaching social transformations in our world is now widely acknowledged. All stakeholders recognize the fact that social change requires participatory, democratic processes. The [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]] is positioned as a powerful tool in this context. The purpose of this timely international gathering in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus years but to create the history of the future.  The community of scientists and practitioners of the [[Dialogic Design Science|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 a whole week to deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.  

No claim is being made abour the superiority of the [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]], 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.

At the launch of ever day's program, five people will be invited to present <i>themselves and their key work</i>. We called it '''Five Minutes of Fame''' because we expect participants to make VERY short, TEDx-style, presentations. The presentations will be videotaped using quality systems.  To prepare for the preparation people should be offering answers to questions like who s/he is, what s/he is doing, what are hers/his major interests, vision for the future, the ONE most important message to leave with the group for the theme of the day, etc. To be allowed to present, one should submit a video 3 months ahead of time. This is to ensure that people have truly prepared for such a short, but very rich presentation and not come unprepared.

<u> 3. Scaling-up the dialogue to engage thousands or millions</u>

<u> 4. Coordinating and aligning our efforts </u>

-- if it is possible that "different strokes are required for different folks",  how is this consideration to be recognized and integrated, especially if those marginalized by SDD strenuously object in some way
