When I made my reservations, I thought you would be beginning at 1:00. The best schedule I could get got me in close to that time, though I knew I would be late. My flight arrives at 12:45 on Monday. So it will most likely be 3 before I am there. I am so sorry. However, I¹m really looking forward to being a small part of this wonderful gathering. What a fascinating job you have done in preparation.

People are participating in person and on-line. We want you to be aware of what is happening. As work gets your may receive requests for assistance. You will be kept up-to-date on sojourn work.
Sojourn Overview This Sojourn will focus on three areas. * ICA is working with a consultant to register the Greenrise building on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to getting credit for the important role that ICA/EI has played in Chicago, the USA and the world, this would open the possibility of getting historic tax credits to cover needed infrastructure maintenance and upgrades on the building. The Historic Role of the ICA Greenrise group will be doing the research and collect documents to begin telling this story, based on the Uptown 5 project (Chicago), Town Meetings (USA), and Human Development Projects (global).

By Monday afternoon, we will break out into teams and begin our work, with some participants in the GreenRise and Google Hangouts with those not able to attend physically. Every day will end at around 5 pm with a short wine and cheese and an opportunity to reconnect with each other and exchange gems from the day. On Thursday, we plan a special celebration after our work. By Friday morning, we¹re asking teams to complete their work and a report on it. On Friday afternoon we¹ll gather in the Bonhoeffer room at 1 pm to set up for final reports. At 2 pm we¹ll hear final reports from each of the teams and have some dialogue. Both Monday¹s and Friday¹s plenaries will be broadcast via Google Hangouts on Air/Youtube to ensure the fullest possible participation. These will also be recorded for addition to the Archive¹s materials.
