OS with cooperatives in Haiti

[john engle]

greetings.

i recently interviewed a longtime haitian colleague who has been doing a lot
of open space in haiti. his name is pierre richard and he participated in
one of Diane Gibeault's trainings several years ago.

the theme of the upcoming newsletter of the organization i'm affiliated
with, beyond borders, is "honor and respect," which is concept of profound
significance in haitian culture. thus, my conversation with pierre richard
focused on the connection between open space and "honor, respect" in haitian
culture.

the interview will not be in the newsletter. an article about a community
open space meeting that included a number of police will be there instead.
given haiti's situation of insecurity and the gulf that exists between
citizens and police, we felt this rare exchange merited coverage.

nevertheless, my interview with pierre richard is on my website. and, he is
articulate and profound as usual.

he's doing open space with large groups of haitians--in the hundreds--and
often using the version of OS adaptated for nonreaders.

if you have the time and interest, here's the link:

one, respe, (with honor and respect for you)
