About
I am an in-betweener, go-getter and facilitator, more a ferment than a catalyst, working in the fields of education, environment, peace, modeling and visualisation, cultures, languages, sign-systems, maps and supersigns, superstructures and a global embodied covenant.Maybe I can see myself also as work-netting Positive Nett-Worker, or spaces sharer, patterns, fields and areas connector and issues bridger towards participation and peace building.
Please see here my fields of activieties and how they connect, or where I work in-between:
Central to my work around dialog, mediation, and decision cultures is this site: http://open-forum.de
Important are for me:
this articels and entries:
DIALOGUE AMONG CIVILIZATIONS- GLOBAL SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS
Dialogue Toward Unity in Diversity
TOWARDS ANEW COVENANT: EMBRACING A DIALOGUE AND DECISION CULTURETO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF THE AGORAS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
entries in the Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics: http://benking.de/systems/encyclopedia/newterms/
my central categories are: Culture - Education - Systems - Dialog - Global-Change
my Websites and blogs:
benking.de - open-forum.de - in-betweener.org - deepworlds.org - NewCiv MemberSite - CeptualInstitute -
I have been "around" geographically, as you can see: 
but my concern is being around languages, cultures, fields, disciplines, scales, proportions, consequences, styles, values, sign systems, even maps and models...

Hello Heiner,
I like that, "embracing the dialogue culture". I hope to explore some of the sites you listed above in the future. We do need new ways to talk to each other, and also better ways to make collective, intelligent decisions. Both are very much needed to reinvigorate the system we call democracy today.

I know from Herman Hesse that knowledge can be communicated, but wisdom not. But wisdom can be shown and shared. My work is about exactly that: visualize and embody concepts, dimensions, contexts and issues. By giving examples not just analogies and metaphors and symbols we can connect and transcend, as knowing alone is not aive and enough.

Thanks,
