Haiti: Open Space in 38 schools during next 2 months

[John Engle]

Dear fellow-listers,

I'm in Haiti right now. Open Space is thriving in this little  
Caribbean island, yet with a population of nearly 9 million.

I’m participating in one of our Capacity Building seminars, which  
includes 35 of my Haitian colleagues from around the country. Among  
them is a small team of four that are having incredible results with  
Open Space meetings in schools. They have contracts with Save The  
Children and Concern Worldwide to work with dozens of schools. During  
the next two months they will do open space meetings in 38 different  
schools.

Last year around this time this particular team of colleagues did open  
space meetings in 29 different schools. The objective was to engage  
parents more in the life of the schools and also in their child’s  
education. There are numerous testimonials from school directors now  
that the year is over about the transformative role these meetings  
have had in their school's functioning, especially as relates to  
parents paying their child’s school fees which make it possible for  
teachers to get paid. read more by clicking http://www.haitipartners.org/blog/?page_id=30

The team of four mentioned above are just one example of the dozens of  
facilitators using open space throughout the country.

Exciting stuff!
