Collection of papers and notes, problems and possibilities
on the new frontier of high-risk gatherings concerning social development
- / -
Produced and distributed in an earlier form (as a set of 'topic sheets')
under the title: Large-group Conferences: maturing their reflective, focusing
and transforming power, especially in conditions of societal upheaval (1980)
as a contribution to Commission IV (Meeting sociology, dynamics and practice)
of the World Forum of Transnational Associations (Brussels, 1980). This follows,
but is distinct from, another collection on Transformative
Conferencing: Problems and possibilities on the new frontier of high-risk gatherings
concerning social development (1984). The topic sheets were a basis for the
207 entries in section on 'Transformative Conferencing' in the Encyclopedia
of World Problems and Human Potential (1986).
