Facilitator Learnings While we allowed 1 hour to discuss values in pairs, the time could easily have been extended to 2 hours Find additional activities to engage values “General stream”, coined by T. Wilson 2004, better word to use than mainstream to represent monoculutre. We could have discussed only 2 values versus 4 to allow deeper discussion about each Used beautiful posters in the room for inspiration Prepared by J. Elkington. Edited by H. Aranui
