OST in Italy?

[Peggy Holman]

Hi Valentina,

Are you looking for examples of OS for strategic planning?  If so, I point 
you to a story from several years ago in which the Washington State Arts 
Community convened a series of Open Space gatherings around the state to 
create their plan through a conversation about the arts.  Here's a link:

If you'd like to know more about this, just ask.

from sunny Seattle where the first few leaves of autumn are starting to 
appear,
Peggy

> My name is Valentina Bach and I am the community service coordinator in a
> very special international school, the United World College of the
> Adriatic in Italy, Trieste. The mission of the school is to promote
> international understanding and peace by bringing together students from
> conflict countries. Every student admitted has full scholarship and must
> commit him/herself to do volunteer service once a week. In the last two
> years I have been reading all possible Open Space material  and I tried to
> facilitate a session with 100 of our students on September 2004. The aim
> was to get new ideas about community service projects and initiatives. The
> results were excellent: around 10 new projects which have been carried out
> with commitment and dedication during the last academic year!
> I also work as a consultant for some Italian local governments and I have
> recently been asked to write a book on strategic planning which will be
> published by one of the main Italian editors. I would like to include a
> chapter on OST in my book, suggesting it is a very effective method for
> strategic planning. I read the succesful stories published in the website
> and I also found some cases of OST in Torino (Northen Italy) both in the
> provincial and city council. Do you know about other successful stories I
> could quote?
> I would like to help OST spreading in Italy, especially in the No-Profit
> sector. Our school is  well known, especially in the north east as an
> organization that brings innovation and culture while working for peace.
> We would be very happy to host a Conference.
> With great appreciation for Harrison Owen and all of you in this list.
> Greetings from Italy.
