John -- please tell all the good folks who were a part of this enterprise
that what they are doing is so important! I know they know that already, but
maybe it is good to know that others (namely me for one) feel the same way.
Any time space is opened good things happen. And when the space is there for
genuine education, even better things can take place. I look forward to
hearing the next installment.

hi friends.

i just received a report from colleagues in haiti about their Schools Alive!
initiative, which aims to bring lots of educators together in Open Space on
the theme: “How can we achieve a type of teaching in the classroom which
will produce non-violent, self-driven, and eager learners?” Here's the
beginning of the report and a link:

The Schools Alive! Initiative

Third Open Space Meeting

High Delmas, 29 January 2005

In an effort to serve as catalyst for the improvement of the quality of
education in Haiti, the Limyè Lavi Foundation, together with GALO (Action
Group for Peace and Autonomy) has created the Schools Alive! Initiative. Its
third meeting using the Open Space method was held on Saturday, 29 January
2005 at the Printing Shop on the Methodist Campus in Jacquet Toto. Several
schools from the high-Delmas community (a total of 49 participants) were
represented at the meeting, including: Complexe Educative, Ecole Fraternité,
Ecole Emmanuel Cion, etc... In addition, several participants traveled long
distances to attend this meeting, including teachers from the Lagonav AJPDG
network and the Anacaona High School in Leoganne. A total of 29 different
schools and organizations were represented.
