OS with kids - please advice

[Jack Ricchiuto]

Interesting question.  One idea: team up older and younger children.  Have
the older listen to emerging adult conversations and suggest things the
younger can cut from magazines or paint/draw to visualize the ideas, then
have them post them where they belong - creating visual collages that I
think would provoke new energy for adult participants.

thanks,  Jack

Dear All,

I have been asked to facilitate an Open Space for a school. The theme
will be: "What school do we want to have in the future, and how do we
create it ?"

When discussing who should participate, the conclusion at this moment is
the Board, the schools staff, parents, children and a couple of others
who have
a say about or expertise in this.

My question is about the children. This school has children from 6-16
years old. The preparation group I am working with feels the older
classes could participate. I expect also the younger ones would just do
fine - except that probably they will not be given a choice to
participate or not - parents who want to join the meeting will just take
them along so as to not have to pay for someone to look after them.

Anyone else has any experience with this ?

Greetings from Denmark,
