Recent Events and Activities
:
1st Annual Meeting of Sol Mexico Members – May 16th and
17th
Collaboration is essential for building shared vision, surfacing
and testing mental models, and thinking systemically about complexity.
The GSN network has grown beyond their founders and communities
surfaced in several countries, in the same manner, the Mexican
network has grown in the last year, and new members became part
of the community. Sol Mexico is in the beginning of a
tipping point and the necessity of a space to have an opportunity
to integrate and to reconnect with old friends and colleagues
was imperative.
The First Annual Sol Mexico Members' Meeting was held in Cuernavaca,
Morelos at the IMTA installations (Mexican Institute of Water
Technology) May 16th and 17th. More than a half of the total
members assisted to this two days gathering, the sessions gave
us a chance of building new collaborations, share learning and
experiences, and strengthen the network, several events were
planned to sustain this in the long term.
The meeting had two purposes:
- For the 16th to know each other talking around scenarios
of the Mexican community and what could be the role of Sol
Mexico in each one. The material was the base to have interesting
conversations in the world café type to generate significative
dialog.
- To explore new ways of participation and collaboration among
people, and between organizations like Sol Mexico and Global
Sol Network.
