25 AFI students and alumni came together for our first meeting of 2004 that was held on the 2nd of March.

The night was a great success as we introduced our planned activities for 2004 and had our first workshop considering the future of our collective. The workshop was brilliantly organised and facilitated by Richard Rowe, Megan Dwyer and Di George and had us thinking about the focal question - "what is required to build a foresight community that has meaning for this group".

Using foresight methods (the futures wheel) and a reflective, action learning approach we have put in place the foundations for progressing the dialogue about our collective future. This discourse will be continued in our late April Meeting - see the calendar page for the date for this and the other monthly sessions we will be conducting.

The following documents that were produced as a result of this meeting are attached fyi:

• Futures Wheel from first workshop - Powerpoint (draft)
