From Mountain to Sea:
Perceiving Systemic Change and the Transformative Role of Facilitation

8/31-9/4/2016

We welcome you to attend the 19th IAF Asia Conference 2016 in Taiwan! As you know, the IAF Asia Conference is always a fun event jam-packed with learning opportunities, owing to the cultural diversity of participants, the variety of facilitation skills they bring to the table to share, and the deep connections they form with each other.

This year, follow us to Eastern Taiwan, the most famous and special spot on the island. People can reach the high mountains from within 15 minutes of the ocean. There is much we can learn from this unique ecosystem, especially since our economic and social systems are likewise based on mutual interdependence. As facilitators or change catalyzers, what’s our new role in leading systemic change? How can we transform ourselves into adaptive facilitators or leaders in the systemic change process?

In a time of rapid change, the wisdom of the original people, the aboriginals, rings truer than ever. Looking at the mountains the valleys and the sea, we can find different approaches, different beliefs and different gifts. To survive in these times, we need support from each other to build strong communities and networks as we move forward. At the same time, we celebrate our diversity and our unity.

The conference theme is “ From Mountain to See: Perceiving Systemic Change and the Transformative Role of Facilitation”. The themes include:
● Multi-Cultural Collaboration
● Sharing Effective Tools and Methods
● Exploring the Edge of Facilitation:

We are so pleased that there are more than 40 presenters from around the world who will be putting on 40 sessions at this conference, sharing their precious experiences and different hands-on facilitation methods. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the facilitation world.
