Better Stories for intelligent optimists

[Christine Whitney Sanchez]

Dear AI, Open Space and World Cafe Friends,
 
"What the World Needs Now are Better Stories"
http://www.odemagazine.com/article.php?aID=4268 is a wonderful article by
journalist Jurriaan Kamp in the April 2006 edition of Ode, a fabulous
international magazine.  
 
And in "Stories That Shake the World" author, Seth Godin, calls on the
marketing profession to tell stories that generate huge positive impact in
less time - http://www.odemagazine.com/article.php?aID=4269.  
 
Ode's Mission: "We are an independent international journal, without strings
to the world of commerce and power.  We believe in progress, ongoing
opportunities, and the creativity of humankind. We contribute to progress by
polishing stories about the people an ideas that are making a difference.
We address society's problems too, because they represent opportunities for
positive change.  We publish stories that bridge the gap between thinking
and doing, between rage and hope, and the painful gap between the rich and
the poor.  By doing so we build peace and sustainability.  This is the news
we promise to deliver.  We offer our readers the chance to link up with an
international network o inspiration and cooperation, strengthening the
forces devoted to respect, justice and equality.  In doing so we hope to
invite them to make their own contributions to a more just and sustainable
world."
 
Another article I enjoyed is "The Most Hopeful Courtroom in the World" about
the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France -

I could go on and on.  The whole issue is worth purchasing.  I recently
subscribed and have read this issue from cover to cover!
