My campaign is the campaign that tries to reach across the racial chasm, reach across the party chasm and bring us together. Hands stay together and move in front of the body in a smooth side to side position. As the hands are winding side to side, they’re also winding upward above the head. Through GGF, we helped promote personal and professional relationships that lasted beyond the respective program cycles. We organized regular GGF alumni reunions to develop a sense of community by jointly shaping and implementing these events with our fellows and alumni. This has given them a feeling of co-ownership not just within their cohort but in the entire GGF program. Subsequently, our alumni frequently self-organize and continue to hold regular local meet-ups. Many also welcome and host other GGF alumni when they visit their home town. GGF alumni also played an active role in our preparations for as well as during each round of the program: they nominated promising candidates during the application process, participated in GGF dialogue sessions as speakers for the entire cohort or as experts in the working groups, and opened their homes to host social evenings. An alumna from South Africa highlighted the importance of close relationships for the policy world, saying that “some of the biggest political shifts you have is through intimate relationships; intimacy is political.” The relationships that emerged during each fellowship round continue to be valuable even years later. Reflecting on the friendships she built during her time as a fellow, one alumna from the second cohort said: “I continue to tap into the GGF relationships. I came out with a network of people that I can call up and ask ‘stupid’ or ‘out-of-the-box’ questions that I would usually not ask a professional colleague.” How does one provide a structure that allows individuals to be open to multiple perspectives while also shepherding a highly diverse group toward a common goal? We developed a structured communication framework that combines instruments from the discipline of strategic foresight, including scenario planning and risk assessments, with generative facilitation techniques that moved the group from a problem-oriented to a solution-oriented mindset and ultimately steered them toward a collective outcome.

Remained mindful about the power of place to help us connect the external and with our internal worlds and thus invested in finding ideal locations for formal group interactions to encourage meaningful dialogues; Take painkillers – anti-inflammatory painkillers (such as ibuprofen) or paracetamol may help. A GP can prescribe stronger painkillers if needed.

We approached the design of the GGF program with a clear and realistic view of both the challenges and the opportunities that multilateral dialogues present. We were careful to craft a method that would enable the fellows to challenge each other’s ideas, reflect on their own assumptions and jointly explore concrete policy options and interventions in the face of an uncertain future. The debates and discussions that resulted from this were captured by the fellows in a series of reportsthat reflected their shared understanding, while simultaneously highlighting the divergences that their countries must overcome to jointly confront pressing global challenges. [3] Overall, the co-sensing experience allowed the fellows to shift their perspective – sometimes fundamentally so – and to activate and leverage “the intelligence of the head, heart and hands by nurturing curiosity, compassion and courage”when discussing global governance challenges in different geographies. As Otto Scharmer and Katrin Käufer observed, co-sensing experiences allow participants to move from an ego-system to an eco-system awareness: “Decision-makers across the institutions of a system have to go on a joint journey from seeing only their viewpoint to experiencing the system from the perspective of the other player[s].” [9]As a result, the GGF fellows developed a deeper ‘sense’ of the topics and issues they were thinking and talking about.

Give several series of directions, such as: Still, a number of fellows also said that they wished they could have spent even more time getting to know each other, especially in cases where they did not get to speak with everyone in their cohort. If we had the opportunity to do things differently, we could imagine spending more time on those formats that allowed the fellows to engage with each other as individuals, not just as issue experts. Storytelling, for example, is a fantastic method to practice active listening – that is, mindfully paying attention to what is said and staying connected to the spoken word without judgement, criticism or blame. Storytelling renders abstract issues more accessible and allows for connection and emotional resonance between people. Program participants could talk about how a given global governance challenge has impacted them personally, and share insights into their lived experience and how this has shaped the person they are today. Across cultures and communities, storytelling has served as one of the strongest practices for humans to bond over. Listening to each other’s stories builds empathy, forges trust and creates deeper connections. It is a highly effective way to leverage emotions with meaning and intention. As one fellow from Brazil pointed out: “Every time you learn new content knowledge, in 30 years that knowledge is going to be outdated. Every time you get to know someone – and really get to know them in a purposeful way, in an intentional way, around an issue – in 30 years, that network is just going to get stronger and stronger and will continue to feed your knowledge.” Play Simons Says or have kids imitate different body movements.
