Thanks everyone for your reply.
I'm still trying to check out (I'm trying to force myself to stay
offline as much as possible when out of the office) all the links and
leads you guys sent.
@Patricia:
This is the US response to the UN Decade that was launched just last March -
and initially
introduced to the UN by the Japanese. The Partnership's international liaison,
Will Duggan (contact
info on uspartnership.org site), can give you some contact names for Japanese
participants in the
Decade - might be a good way to meet like-minded people.
Interesting that you should write this, before I got a "real job" I had
some fanciful ideas for on online (I was a web-developer before
sustainability geek) education community for sustainability. I'll have
to get in touch with them.
I sparked to your message also because my son lives in Tokyo and I have very
much enjoyed visiting
him.
If your ever back here, let me know. What is your son here for?
I don't know if you encountered folk schools during your time in sweden,
not the school itself, but some very unique and impressive people who
have attended them, and played a little part in the potential planning
of a new one.

That sounds interesting. I have the funds to send me someplace else,
though Canada sounds more attractive than Taiwan (no offence, Taiwan)
but I doubt I have the funds to bring you here :). Unless I could swing
something with a client, which I will keep in the front of my mind...

What would you recommend focusing my precious study time on considering
that I am not a facilitator, nor do I really have any experience in it
(other than conducting meetings at work). I have met some "facilitators"
however, and am blown away at how, well, "easy" and smoothly meaningful
conversations happen in their hands. I wanna be like that!
@all:
I'm sure the answer is "word of mouth" and "building relationships", but
I still gotta ask, where do you folk's clients come from?

Dang! Just one more thing I am compelled to research ;P
