Manifesto
- There is a fascinating emerging body of knowledge in the field of adult development.
- Notably, the insights around cognitive development are not fully accessible yet.
- How would our world look if we applied these evolving insights to the fields of businesses, education, politics etc?
- CAD, the Center of Applied of Dialectics, opens up a platform for practitioners in the field of adult development, integrating research into their practice, exchanging findings and thereby nourishing each other, empowering others to do likewise.
When: Tuesday, Jan 31 2023, 7:00-8:30 pm CET
Topic: Bernhard Possert - Non-hierarchical Perspectives of Adult Development.
Description: Stage models can be problematic. Bernhard will share his present view on "vertical development" and how his emerging perspective supports co-development, and helps him and his clients connect with themselves, with others and with the world.

Upcoming salons:
We are currently revising the format of the Salons and will update you shortly.
I hope you can join us! Please invite your colleagues to join as well, as we look to grow our community.
Salons always contain these elements: information, experience, reflection and connection.

Starting with autumn 2022 we are planning diversify the format:
- Salons:
- Presentations
- Dialogues between expert practitioners
- Community dialogues
- sharing practices
- bringing in wicked questions that arise in practice
- Applied work
- Dialectical Case Clinics ((c) kaa)
“real” people, from outside the community, bringing in questions, getting dialectical support from the communitywith a debrief so that we as a community can integrate the experience - wicked world questions (hunger/peace/justice/…), with one person holding the topic
- Dialectical Case Clinics ((c) kaa)
