Overview:

Global MindShift is partnering with Conversation Cafe to host Conversation Week 2008!

This year, people from around the world have submitted, voted on and selected ten of the most important questions people feel need to be asked this year.  During Conversation Week 2008, these questions will be discussed in face-to-face groups all over the world, and online right here at Global MindShift.

Participants in this online conversation session will spend one week discussing one of the ten questions:

"What does sustainability look like to you? How do we get there?"
