ABSTRACT

In line with the theme of this issue of AI Practitioner, which brings together stories from the latest Appreciative Inquiry Learning Network, the seventh network of its kind, this article relates the story of Stebo’s connection. Stebo, a Belgian social profit organisation, has participated in all of the Learning Networks. Even more: in 2008, Stebo co-initiated the very first AI Learning Network. They were the driving force behind a European subsidy grant for this network, enabling 90 participants to explore and learn about strengths-based development across organisations.
