11th International Conference on Experiential Learning - Sydney December 8 - 12, 2008

Mon Sep 29 15:08:38 PDT 2008

Might there be the seeds of a conference proposal entitled "Experiential
Learning two point o: what we have learned the last 25 years, an
under-the-radar chicken's eye view (world) perspective"

in search of a proposer?

If I was Down Under, would write a proposal myself. Any takers?

greetings from a partly cloudy sun diego

Dear All!

I am in the process of thinking through a project of using OST in private school, my children go to. I was so inspired by the OS on OS conference in San Francisco this summer, so I could not stop thinking about this wonderful approach. Our school is small and relatively flexible, and we are looking for ways to  effectively communicate ideas, thoughts and concerns that any part of PTA may have. 

I see it happening in two formats: on-going bulletin board with topics that are interesting for people, providing available rooms for discussion and possible solutions generating on the weekly basis with a "World Cafe" rules. And a big school-wide OS conference 1 or 2 times a year with the help of the outside facilitators. Ideally (in future) I want our children to be able to use this tool for their ideas and concerns! 

Do any of you know or have an experience of OST working at schools? Can you please share any insights, warnings, ideas and/or support?

I am not a OST consultant/facilitator yet, although I am thinking of taking a class with Lisa Heft in SF, and I know that people without proper understanding/skill set can ruin not only one event but appreciation for the OST as a whole for that group. So any critiques is constructive for me, my goal is to learn, learn, learn!

Thank you in advance!

Warmly yours,
