Rivers are both
byways and barriers.
To understand
history, F1RST understand rivers.
On
Sept. 11, 2001, I was working with a group of collaborators in St. Paul, Minn.
We were seeking ways to improve Emergency Alert Systems for communities where
English is a second language. This project was organized through the Emergency
and Community Health Outreach (ECHO) collaborative.
The
membership of ECHO includes the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety, a number of local public health agencies from the
metro area, private voluntary sector organizations and leaders from the
cultural communities that will be served.
That
afternoon, our crew was ready to launch a Web cast on WMD Threats for the
Minnesota FBI InfraGard Chapter. Its meeting at Hamline University was
rescheduled for the following month.
My
daughter, Malia, was traveling via Hiroshima, Japan, to perform at a global
festival in Seoul, Korea. The Heart of the Beast Mask and Puppet Theater has as
its global mission community building through hands-on storytelling. Its themes
include the futility of war to resolve regional conflicts.
Then in
fall 2005, as she was departing for Taiwan to help guide the Dream Community
festival, we discussed fresh perspectives on remarks from “The World is Flat”
by Thomas L. Friedman.
I’m
delighted to find creative signs of “sea changes” in future
thought leadership learning programs
Our history gives
us a sense of place.
It defines who we
are and GUIDES us in charting the future.
