DESCRIPTION:The National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) is hosting, as 
 part of their 2006 National Conference, "Conversation Cafe: An Open Evening 
 of Great Conversation".  Part training, part dialogue, this evening event 
 will begin with a short training in the Conversation Cafe process followed 
 by an actual Conversation Cafe focusing on the role of dialogue in a 
 democracy.\n\nThe training will begin at 6:15 pm in the Barcelona II room 
 on the 3rd floor of the Renaissance Parc 55 in downtown San Francisco. The 
 training will last until 7:30 pm, at which time we'll begin our 90-minute 
 Conversation Cafe. Coffee and sweets will be provided for the event, and 
 you should feel free to just show up at 7:30 pm for the 
 dialogue.\n\nConversation Cafes are open, hosted conversations among 
 diverse people on topics that matter.  The simple structure provides a 
 meeting ground where "we-the-people" can come together to listen speak, ask 
 and learn, without being forced to agree, change or bite our tongues. Be 
 part of one - and see what democracy feels like. Learn more at 
 http://www.conversationcafe.org/.\n\nNCDD Steering Committee member Susan 
 Partnow, co-founder of Conversation Cafe, will lead the training and host 
 the dialogue with the help of the newly-trained Cafe hosts.  This event is 
 open to the public.  \n \nAbout National Coalition for Dialogue & 
 Deliberation: \nNCDD is a coalition of dialogue and deliberative 
 practitioners who bring together and support people, organizations, and 
 resources in ways that expand the power of conversation to benefit society.
