Next week a colleague and I will be in Beijing delivering a 5 days training
on Project Cycle Management (PCM) and Logical Framework Approaches (LFA) for
a client working there on international development projects. On the last
day (at least for part of it) our intention is to open the space to make
participants reflect on how, going back to their daily work, they will use
and apply what they have learned. The theme will be something like "What
next? Issues and opportunities for improving our work together".
Has anyone experiences to share - tips to give me - on opening space in
China?

Based
on prior experiences in that part of the world, it seems that Open Space

Subject: opening space in China

Next week a colleague and I will be in Beijing delivering a 5 days =
training
on Project Cycle Management (PCM) and Logical Framework Approaches (LFA) =
for
a client working there on international development projects. On the =
last
day (at least for part of it) our intention is to open the space to make
participants reflect on how, going back to their daily work, they will =
use
and apply what they have learned. The theme will be something like "What
next? Issues and opportunities for improving our work together".
Has anyone experiences to share - tips to give me - on opening space in
China?
