Great Story!! I have passed this along to Anna-Eva Lohe in Uppsala Sweden, who
along with colleagues has been working with unemployed youth in that city. They
did an Open Space in Novemeber, and seem poised to do more as a means for job
development. Perhaps there could be some synergy? Anna's email is
<anna-eva.lohe at lohe.se>. I have suggested that she might like to join us on the
listserve.
