SV: Report available - Girl Scout Open Space for over 1,600 & Strategy Cafes for thousands more

[Thomas Herrmann]

Dear Christine
I´d like to join the chorus and send my gratulations to all of you involved
in this motion! I also think that you have given us all a great example to
use in dialogues with non-profits. There is such a great need in many NGO´s
for renewal, deepened democracy and for space for all the wonderful voices
that are engaged in the work they do. I will forward this straight away to
some I think will be thrilled with your example.
Oooaoo!!!
Warmest regards
Thomas Herrmann

  Ämne: Report available - Girl Scout Open Space for over 1,600 & Strategy
Cafes for thousands more


  Dear Friends,

  Claudia Haack and I are excited to share our report to the Girl Scouts of
the USA on the "Open Strategic Conversations" capacity building project
which culminated in large events at the Girl Scout National Convention -
http://i.b5z.net/i/u/540396/i/GSUSAfinalreport06.ppt.   Naturally, the Girl
Scouts have given us their permission to share this with you.

  On October 7, 2005, an Open Space on Governance was held for more than
1600 delegates and over the following 3 days Strategy Cafés attracted over
3000 participants.  These events were eagerly awaited by 100 volunteers -
the core of the capacity building effort who we had trained in Open Space
and World Cafe.  They had self-organized for planning and implementation
before, during and after the convention to become the logistics backbone for
these events.  The "Smooth Operators" as they called themselves, captured
the spirit and imagination of what lies in the future for Girl Scouting and
have gone on to facilitate many Open Space events and World Cafe
conversations in their local Girl Scout councils and their communities at
large.  To see the proceedings, check out
www.girlscouts.org/convention/conversationsummary.asp

  Many of you held the space with us for these events - for that we are
deeply grateful.  And a special thanks to Maria Ort (who has recently joined
the OSlist) for bringing your skill and grace to the Design Team.

  Namaste,

  Christine & Claudia
