Axiom to Host World Appreciative Inquiry Conference Workshop

Axiom News’ proposal to present a workshop at the World Appreciative Inquiry Conference (WAIC) on Co-Creating A Life-Giving News Network has been accepted.

The April 25-28 conference in Ghent, Belgium, has the theme of “Towards an ‘economy’ of connecting strengths: scaling-up the generative power of AI.”

The proposal topic is especially exciting to the Axiom News team because it comes straight out of the organization’s mission statement to co-create a life-giving news network for a renewed and thriving world.

Conference organizers received 161 submitted proposals from all over the world from AI practitioners, researchers, organizational leaders and students.

Axiom News founder Peter Pula will be facilitating the gathering using a fusion of Open Spaces and Appreciative Inquiry (AI) exploration.

The workshop will explore trends and assets towards organizations using a co-creative communications approach to shape and share their strengths-based story, and then share those stories trans-organizationally.

In the proposal, Peter asks, “Can we, in this way, create and purvey a new News Narrative for an Economy of Connecting Strengths?”

Axiom News looks forward to the generative conversations the event will spark.
