What a year it's been! 

A deep bow of gratitude to all contributors of the I-Open video library!
 
This year's top 25 contributors shared their experiences, hopes and dreams on topics ranging from the most tenacious challenges communities face to how creativity, collaboration and technology is giving rise to a new collective, a global culture anchored by trusted relationships emerging from our day-to-day conversations. 
Viewers sought answers to a range of questions:
  • how does faith fit into community?
  • what science do we need to know to understand complex systems?
  • how do we make sense of our rapidly changing world?
  • who's making cool stuff and how are they doing that?
  • how can we cultivate collective capacity for a better tomorrow?
So, take your time, relish this list, set it aside to learn from others who've generously shared ahead for all of us. 

And most importantly, share your favorites with your Friends so we can all be just a little smarter, kinder and wiser together in our year ahead. 

From all of us at I-Open, 

Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful New Year!
