hello birgitt and all,
interesting, this is the second time i've heard of covey
being followed directly by open space, the other being only
the thinnest possible slice for just one short afternoon
with 24 folks and facilitated by a colleague brand new to
open space tech.  the feedback to the people who set it up
was that covey was horrible and open space was fantastic.
so glad, they said, that open space came second or the day
would have ended very down.  perhaps this relates back to
visibility of open space?  maybe we just need to go now
everywhere stephen covey's already been? <grin>  m

I recently led an Open Space towards the development of Gay-Positive,
housing for homeless youth in Toronto.  A number of street youth
participated as did folks from various agencies, government bodies, and
gay-positive community organizations.  It was a non-residential community
event, with an ebb and flow to participation.  Some youth heard about it on
the streets during the event and joined.  A film crew was shooting the event
and interviewing street youth.  Government funders, architects and other key
players also appeared and attended the "right" discussion sessions.

The new "brick" that appeared in a parking lot nearby was the perfect
talking piece.  It will be taken to all planning meetings and used in the
construction of the project, which will take a while to put together.
However, the momentum is there.
