Imagine Chicago shares knowledge and inspiration through talks, workshops, free web downloads, and an open door and email policy. To date, Imagine and Imagine-like projects have organically emerged on six continents (that is, without IC’s control or direction). And the movement continues to grow... Listed below are some of the Imagine initiatives currently established or in the process of development, of which IC is aware. We know there are others which share a similar spirit and commitment. Each process has a distinct character, having tread its own unique path through its particular context. Imagine Chicago is hoping that, as a result of the gathering of these projects in September 2002 in Chicago, a global learning network of Imagine projects will be established that will facilitate an ongoing exchange of ideas and other resources.
