Comment by daniela terrile on March 26, 2013 at 8:30am: hi would you be interested in knowing a little bit about:

- participatory leadership used at Politecnico di Milano during systemic strategic design in order to understand 7FP (research programme) and in writing a proposal?

- or participatory leadership used at Maison de la poesie (Maelstrom DAVIDE GIANNONI) for change management and strategy purposes?

or again on the hill of Fontanigorda a participatory leadership to enhance awareness among adult people spending some holiday time on the HILL in a farm (Italy)

pls let me know at daniela.terrile@gmail.com

Comment by Niklas Bruce on March 26, 2013 at 6:45am: Helen, I would like to Skype with you at some point this week. Would that be possible?

greetings, Niklas

Comment by Niklas Bruce on March 26, 2013 at 6:44am: Hello all,

Thank you for all the input and your willingness to contribute to our thesis. As of now, having interviewed Matthieu, we have chosen some "case- studies". As currently stands, we want to interview Ylva Tiveus, Gertrude Ingestad and Waltraud Heller (that has written on this thread already).

We recognize that many of you have been pivotal to the unfolding of the participatory leadership being introduced to the EC. Where we are coming from with our research is that we want to research social capital (as defined by Putnam 2000: norms, networks and TRUST). We want to see how the AofPL has impacted the social capital where it has been used within the EC. We are looking for case studies where we will interview 6-8 participants, 1 caller and 1 host (approx).

We are looking, NOT for AoPL-trainings but where it has been used as a way of facilitating another process. Since I know that your knowledge is much greater than that of my thesis-group, feel free to give us input on a case-study that fits this description AND where we can get access to participants (and host & caller).

kind regards from Sweden

Just to muddle things even more, I'd say let us not forget that the EU community isn't Bruxelles only. Luxemburg is alive and well, tusand takkar :-)

Comment by Isabella Oswald on March 21, 2013 at 12:58pm: Hi Wal - and Niklas & all the others,

Niklas - I m also interested in your research.social capital is a term by Pierre Bourdieu - in comparison to economic, cultural, symbolic capital.
found recently an interesting esssay:

- commented yesterday the book "Kulturinfarkt" with Bourdieu. - at the Institute of Cultural Management / Vienna

Comment by Waltraud HELLER on March 21, 2013 at 12:50pm: Hi Niklas, your work sounds interesting! But please can you explain a bit what you understand by "social capital"...? thanks, Wal (from an EU Agency)

Comment by Helen Titchen Beeth on March 21, 2013 at 12:41pm: Hi all - I'll be on the road in the UK until 2 April, but that doesn't mean I can't skype. :-)

Comment by Ursula Hillbrand on March 21, 2013 at 10:28am: Ria, this is a very good question. Maybe something for the next conversation you, Helen and Nick might be having?

Comment by Frans Nijs on March 21, 2013 at 7:24am: From the thread in this conversation I understand that Niklas is investigating on Social Capital in the EU institutions. In that case also the EC AST Network is a valid argument for investigation. Niklas can mail me at frans@miepfrans.net for more explanation.
