Exploration and mapping go hand in hand. Recognizing that diversity is a great exploration opportunity sets the wheels -- and the world -- in motion. Not everyone feels this way, however. What metaphors for diversity might we use to communicate the power that it holds for us as those searching for new solutions to on many scales?

My "last" systemic, organistic, pragmatic, concrete recommendation would be to read this lecture: It is by Charles Francois, Founder and Editor of the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics:
The need for an integrated systemic-cyberneticlanguage for concepts and models in complex and vague subject areas:
http://benking.de/systems/encyclopedia/concepts-and-models.htm
and also maybe have some "new terms" in his Encyclopedia which might help for the way...:

LAST NOT LEAST: this report to the club of Rome was hitting the streets in Berlin 1995:
'THE CAPACITY TO GOVERN'
Written in English and Hebrew, it was first published in German in 1995, lagter in Spanish and 6 years later !! in English (not only much time and insights - also much of its content was lost on the way.... (but Governance Students nowadays take this is Source) Isn't it a strange mono-lingual world - with little space for difference - or call it Diversity...!??)
maybe read our 7 points to remember for the press conference 1995 in Berlin:

PS:
I have to add here: what I forgot on the GOLD list:
please see this page on LITERACY - EARTH LITERACY - any LITERACY
here: http://in-betweener.org/flatworlds/
a quotation from Kofi ANNAN i like very much:
"Our biggest challenge in this new century is to take an idea that sounds abstract - sustainable development -
and turn it into reality for all the world's people.
Making the abstract real and developing the capacities of individuals and societies to work for a sustainable future is,
essentially, an educational enterprise. "
Kofi Annan
it is more easy to quote and link to this page:
