a question

[Raffi Aftandelian]

This is something, Joelle, I have been meaning to ask about. 
I am curious, do people feel OST is not a format where lectures and trainings can be delivered effectively? I'd be curious to hear about other people's experiences.

Might it be possible to set boundaries around the sessions? To say:  "that in this session (or over the course of these sessions) this training will be presented. You can be late by x amount. After x minutes, no one can attend this training so that the group process is not disrupted. You can leave if you don't like it, but then you can't come back later." Or would that be violating the spirit of OS?

Thanks,
raffi

Reinhard--

Sometimes someone offers a training, lecture or presentation in Open Space.
And it usually is not very successful.   When participants reflect on their
day's experiences, they realize that the open discussions they took part in
were more lively and valuable.

In the example you cited, did the angry participants use their Two Feet to
find something else?
