Dear All,

My name is Emilia Ilieva and I am on this list for about a month already.
Today I thought it is high time to come out of the shadows and share my
inspiration with Open Space.

I am living in Bulgaria and working on a regional project for South East
Europe named positively SMILE = SEEding for Multiethnic and Intercultural
Learning Experiences. For those of you who are interested please have a look
at: www.smile.iizdvv-bg.org

I have participated in an Open Space event few years ago in Slovenia and it
was only in March this year that through an Open Space Conference
facilitated by Holger Nauheimer that I regained the inspiration for the
method. (Thank you, Holger!) After some hesitance I decided to use it on two
meetings in Bulgaria that went more than well and I am planning using the
method on one more event in the end of the month in Bulgaria...

Meanwhile I believe we will have chances of using the method in our regional
activities in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Republic of
Macedonia and possibly other countries in SEE and spreading the word and
experience of OS.

We have been using the World Café method at various activities of the SMILE
project last year as well. Therefore I have been following the discussion on
it very closely. However I need some more experience with Open Space before
I can say anything to compare the two.

Anyway, thank you wholeheartedly for all of your shared wisdom.

And let's keep the spaces opening :)

Best wishes to all from Sofia,

Emilia Ilieva
