How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?
In June 2011, we had an "art of participatory leadership" training in Vienna at the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, hosted by our friends from the European Commission. I had come home...
Tell us about your experience with Art of Hosting as part of your life and work. What would you say your competence in it is? (new, starting practitioner, experienced practitioner, steward)

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?
I have always loved to connect people around good conversations, now having great joy&fun with having the tools at hand...
concretely:
a) at my work (EU Agency for Fundamental Rights): developing truly participatory approaches within our organisation and with our stakeholders
b) in my region (Central Europe): connecting practitioners and building capacity for change
c) ultimately: support a wider systemic shift.
Where do you live/work?

Hello Waltraud - yes I am looking forward to meeting you in January. We will be 44 people at the training coming from all over Europe and the world. No I did not realise we had not posted this on the ning - I thought we had. I'll look into it.
Hi Waltraud, great to see you here! Please, when you have the time, load a photo, so we can really "see" you, tell us some more about yourself, and have a look at the conversation forums that are in action, that's where we can contribute to each other. I hope you find great community in the Art of Hosting network! And I hope I get back to Vienna sometime soon!

glad to be connected, and loved your poem harvesting the open space in Zagreb! Keep it up. Warmly - Marco.
No, this was definitely some computer trick. :-) I did not get up THAT early. See you next week and happy new year!

Liebe Waltraud,
'leider' haben wir sehr viele Anmeldungen, können max. 60 Personen im Kurs akzeptieren. Im Moment sind ca. 10 Leute auf der Warteliste.
Ich kann dir zwei Angebote machen:
1. sollte sich noch was ergeben, verständigen wir euch sofort. (Aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist eher gering.)
2. Das nächste Training ist im April. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Toke und Monica auch wieder mit dabei sind.
Trotzdem liebe Grüße,
Manfred
Dear Wal,
So good to continue our conversations and hear about the good work you are doing! How wonderful that we are making our circle in this space.
with love and hugs,
Mara
