Synopsis : Lien Centre and the Facilitators Network Singapore jointly organised a participant-driven World Café on 28 January 2009, attended by 65 participants. The conversation centred around 3 questions:

•  What is your perspective/experience on CSR in Asia ?
•  What are the distinct attributes/practices of CSR in Asia ?
•  How can we (individuals, groups within & outside of corporate sector) better foster CSR practices to achieve greater societal impact?

What is World Caf é?
As a conversational process , the World Café is an innovative yet simple methodology for hosting conversations about questions that matter. These conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, cross-pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions or issues that are most important in their life, work, or community.
