Dear Michael & OS
As I see :it’s a continuous project, where anyone opens the space
wherever we can
In the UK I have some experience in getting school governors to open up
Schools to emotional literacy surveys as run by www.antidote.org.uk -
do say if anyone wants to know more on this excellent idea tank on
bringing back self-organising to schools; clearly one needs permission
at a school level of teachers and some parents/governors
We need (I think) to collate similar experiences - in particular do we
have
any examples of continuity of open spaces in a school already, or have
they all been one-offs? (why didn’t they sprout naturally?) also let's
think which other open space topics already in repertoire like community
regeneration are potentially natural ones for school open space
conversations?
Who else may be interested in joining in? For example, I know quite a
few people who feel that what kids need to learn for the future is
changing faster than school curricula at least in particular practice
areas; does anyone else? Can we link these people?

Michael M,
and Jo, Kerry, Marina and Michael H,
Miracles do happen in Hanukah-Christmas... I had just requested that:
<Dear Marina and Michael,
I would like to ask some help and guidance from you ASAP on the matter of a page or few describing OST in Russian!
Why? Because Avner and I are going to open space in Arad, a town in the Negev (south of Israel), first days of January 2004. This town is 40% Russian speaking population and since they didn't manage to translate our staff until now the brilliant hope of asking your help crossed my mind…>
And miracles happened!!
Thank you so much
Best of wishes to you and all on the holydays, may all the miracles that you need and well deserve happen to you
Love and Hanukah light from Israel

Dear Kerry,
if you go to
http://www.michaelmpannwitz.de/o_russ_inhalt.htm
you get, in Russian,
"What on earth is open space"
"The four open space Principles, the on Law of two Feet and the
Admonition"
"The documentation form"
"The Table of Content for the report"
"The form for convergence and weighing the issues"
This material was used in the open space-Training held for 50 Russian
colleagues in Moscow back in 2000.
Translator of the material is Jo Toepfer, member of the berlin open
space cooperative.
He runs into people that came to the training in 2000 doing open
space in all those where-on-earth is that country: Turkmenisatan,
Kasastan, Uzbekisatan, Ukraine etc.
There is more stuff on our worldwide site at
http://www.openspaceworld.org/russian/index.html
with a reference to our colleague Elena Marchuk.
Merry Xmas
