The Center Leo Apostel (CLEA) invites you to a first, try-out
event in its new series of "Thinking Cafés", to complement
its long-standing series of ECCO/GBI/CLEA seminars and lectures.
Instead of a formal presentation by a speaker followed by discussion,
the intention is to have a brief introduction of the topic, followed
immediately by an informal, but in-depth discussion in small
groups.
Thinking Café about
Change
You are invited to our new and fresh Thinking Café! A place for
discussion of research topics floating in the enormous space in
between disciplines. Because our ideas shouldn't just stay inside
our head, they are created through feedback with other research, with
each other, with the practical world.
For now, the concept of the Thinking Café is to first have a small introduction of the topic, after which we come up with questions which are discussed in small groups. We'll provide some food and drinks, but feel free to share your own!
But this concept might change through experimentation, and you can form it! You can also propose topics and vote on already proposed ones via http://bit.ly/InputReaActafé

Topic: Change: on what it is, when does it happen and when
not. Thus, when does a system become rigid, and how can this be
avoided? Especially applied to social change: how does hierarchy
emerge, and how to oppose this?
Discussion introduced and led by Evo Busseniers (CLEA) and
Nathalie Degraide (http://denken.nu/)
