OS for 1,000

[Elena A. Marchuk]

Dear collegues!

I forgot to mention that after such a nice experience in Rubtsovsk with FSC and OS "Rubtsovsk in 2005: Search for Future and strategies for development" on the 10-12 of March, there is an idea to organize an Open Forum for 1,000 citizens of Rubtsovsk, as they really want to find out what they can do for the city and how can they organize their life and to find out how to plan their future and make decisions.

There was one idea to organize a meeting on the stadium, really Open Space, which we can call FORUM in Russia. Is there any ideas which worked nice with 1,000? and what is needed for this?

I actually was excited with that we are thinking of gathering such a city Forum, but/and if I think of such a crowd of people - I can not imagine it.

Best wishes to you
looking forward to hearing from your experience.

  I've just returned from Rubtsovsk, where I really used the words of expanding our now and your nice discovery, 
   
  people there were very happy that they stay for 3 days woriking together and feel like a family. isn't it great for a city? people from the city administration worked all 3 days (there were not much, but still -4 if I remember correctly) and from the city Counsil - 2 and from NGOs and brilliant youth, and educational people - such an unusual stuff for all their meetings - and they work nicely, 

  and hope they can go further... what a people and what a situation!

  I really don't know where to start to move us for better society... probably I just can not do this, but I try to do some steps at least with the help of your words - passion and responsibility. I've heard them back in a feedback in the closing session, so it works....
   
  OK, best wishes to you
  let me put some words for report later

      Dear Harrison !
       
      I know, I'm late in my growing up, as I've just read the book "Expanding our NOW" - just great!

    Glad you enjoyed the books -- and it is great to hear about the work you are doing.
