Seeking advice: mixing youth & adults at OS + video

[Susan Partnow]

Plans continue for the MAVIA/SAVE conference on "Victory Over Violence"
converence in Tacoma, WA Saturday, April 21...  THanks to all of you on
this listserve who have supported us in the past.  One concern that
continues to be raised is how the presence of adults and youth in OS
sessions will work. Some students are concerned their voices will be less
likely to be heard -- and/or individuals able/willing to speak up in mixed
sessions.  Some students want to be able to post "youth only" sessions.
One of our OS facilitators feels such restrictions would close the space
and thus violate the spirit of OS...  What experience do any of you have
with this issue of adult/youth?  Recommendations?  Thanks for your advice!

One other issue:  we have an opportunity for a team of students, led by an
experienced teacher, to do some intereviewing and videotaping of the event -
- leading to a needed outreach/educational/inspirational video.  Do you
have expereince with the presence of videographers?  Any sense of how it
might impact the spirit and openness of discussion?

With appreciation and thanks for the wisdom of this list,
Susan Partnow in Seattle, WA
