Program & Dialogues
We see our program as an unfolding process that invites co-creation, unexpected insights, memorable experiences, and a sense of allyship in this changing world. No spectators, everybody in. The programme is a map; the living experience might change as circumstances change.
HOW WE SEE OUR SESSIONS COME TO LIFE: as dialogues;
each with a light structure and content piece that catalyse a collective learning & sharing experience.
We don’t have the right answers, but we for sure have questions that invite us into spheres of possibility previously unimaginable.
We invite everyone – from businesses to artists to activists to scientists to teachers of all kinds; from young to old; from local to global!
LOCATION
Each meeting or conference is already a prototype of the future we want to live. The World of Synergy Confluence is a prime example of what this changing world is calling for: an optimal mix of international online and local offline dialogues, set in a circular space of The Herman Potočnik Noordung Center for Space Technologies.

DATA dialogue: New forms need a different kind of data
By Nora Bateson and Ina Kukovič Borovnik
Data is the talk of the 21st century. But how do we perceive data, what are we taking into account when we are making our decisions while seeking new forms? (read more)
Most of our world functions on cold data – information captured in the past that creates analyses and projections based on that. In an ever-changing, complex reality, this is not enough anymore. In fact, it is becoming destructive to life in many forms.
We will start building our relationships through a different kind of conversation that will allow us to dive into complexity – an online People Need People session.
Warm data is transcontextual data. You might not know how to name it, how to grasp it, explain it, make sense of it… but it gives vitality to ideas that were never there before. Our thinking needs more warm data to get us someplace different.

CIVILIZATION dialogue: Re-inventing community collaboration
By Jeremy Lent and Matej Delakorda
The challenges we are facing today as humanity will not be solved by one person, one organisation, one country. They ask us to practice and embrace new ways of collaborating that were a rare occurrence in the past. (Read more ...)
When we enter a HIVE mindset, we start thinking from a larger and stronger context – beyond individual fears, challenges and limiting beliefs. This nature-inspired mental model supports us to collaborate as a whole (family, organization, country, union or planet); rather than as individuals. It brings us inner peace and greater collaborative abilities that can lead to true solidarity and cooperation.
Day 2 – Friday, October 9th
9:30am - 12:00pm
on-line & on-site The Herman Potočnik Noordung Center of Space Technologies, Vitanje
PRESENCE dialogue: Being present; learning from the unknown
We feel the need to step up to a new level of courage & awareness ... but it is challenging to make the leap. (Read more...)
This session is dedicated to practicing PRESENCE and BEING with UNCERTAINTY.
- 1st step: learn how to relax and listen. The old way of letting go and listening might not be as relevant as it used to be. How do we listen deeply in the face of greater uncertainty and stress?
- 2nd step: co-learn to listen together, as a tribe and a community, and tap into group intelligence which is much greater than that of an individual. How do we verbalize and ground what we hear and feel as a tribe? What tools, approaches and technologies can we use for that?
1:30pm - 3:30pm
on-line & on-site The Herman Potočnik Noordung Center of Space Technologies, Vitanje
FUTURE dialogue: Re-creating futures together
What paradigms, practices and models help us move towards preferred - rather than used futures? (Read more...)
When strategising about futures, we often draw on outdated data, ideas, ways of doing & thinking (better: thoughting). These so-called “used” futures need to be challenged; and fresh ones created – more in sync with what individuals and organisations aspire to. The session will offer practical tools for shifting past and future narratives that no longer support desired outcomes.
4:00pm - 7:00pm
on-line & on-site The Herman Potočnik Noordung Center of Space Technologies, Vitanje
