Building peace education in Haiti using Open Space

Wed Dec 3 20:34:17 PST 2003

Dear Fremy
Thanks for the invitation, but it's a long way to come from Melbourne,
Australia.
Your theme is so relevant in so many other places, not just in Haiti.
The World Bank people I was working in Open Space with in Bali,
Indonesia last July saw Education and Job Creation as the two elements
most needed if we are to help nations grow and prosper, even though the
World Bank HQ in Washington reckons that Bribery and Corruption and
Human Rights are the major matters.  Those I worked with saw Bribery and
Corruption and Human Rights as symptoms of what is happening - and they
figured that Education and Job Creation are factors which will change
those symptoms.  Their concern was that simply addressing symptoms
doesn't really change the causes of the diseases that are present.
Seems pretty right to my way of thinking.
Good luck with the program, of course.
Cheers and blessings,    BRIAN.

I'd like to share a quoatation by Baruch Spinoza, a Dutch philosopher:

Peace is not an absence of war. It is a virtue, a state of mind, a
disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE (US) CORDIALLY INVITES THE OPEN SPACE COMMUNITY
TO A WIKI WEEKEND - JANUARY 17 & 18, 2004:

OPEN SPACE IN EDUCATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We would like to build an interactive database on Open Space applications in
education. While the wiki space is already open and waiting for your
stories, the weekend of January 17-18 is intended to be a focused time for
our real time interaction. Will you help the Community create an archive of
case studies/ stories/experiences involving Open Space and education?

Our objectives are twofold:

1. Improve our practice as facilitators by learning from the experience of
others who have used OST in education.

2. Create a rich resource for future sponsors to visit and understand the
benefits of using Open Space in education.

Our dedicated wiki is can be accessed by directing one's web browser to:

http://www.openspaceworld.org/network/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceinEducation

We invite you to add stories, comment, ask questions. While it will be
launched officially in real-time on the weekend of January 17 &18, it is
already open, and it will remain open indefinitely for you to post new
experiences and comment on old ones. In this way, our Open Space in
Education wiki will remain live for the use of practitioners,
educationalists and any other stakeholders in education, such as students
and parents.

Please remember to bookmark this wiki web site for future use:

http://www.openspaceworld.org/network/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceinEducation

Thank you for contributing to this learning.

Open Space Institute, (US), Members of Board: Gabriel Shirley, John Engle,
Kerry Napuk, Leon De King, Lisa Heft, Michael Herman, Mikk Sarv, and Peggy
Holman
