Asunto: [OSLIST] Day 1 of Workshop on Democracy in Asia: Combining the Best
of Different Worlds

 

.. the story continues...

I was excited and nervous, to tell the truth. There were so many
uncertainties:
- Would people follow the multiple complexities of the workshop approach?
- Would the folks be ready to accept the idea the change is a journey (hey,
these are people sponsored by a German political party!)
- Would participants use the virtual tools that we suggest? Would they be
able to handle the technology as suggested?
- Would the network of the hotel hold?

Well, we had a couple of technical issues but those were minor. The workshop
concept worked perfectly. These were the steps of today

1. Warming up - asking particpants to mingle and to talk about what they are
passionate about and what they want to take responsibilty for during the
workshop
2. Setting up the six reporting groups and asking them to define their
objectives and working procedures
3. Having short presentations to share the project work of the people from
different countries (my personal highlight: A documentary about Jakarta
garbage collectors, which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival: "The
Wanderers"). See all presentations at

4. I did a short presentation on Why Change Has Changed, which evoked a
great discussion about steerability of change processes:

5. At 16h00, people went into their reporter groups and produced photos:

postings, and a video which yet has to be uploaded.

Tomorrow is Open Space, all day long, on the theme

Increasing the impact of our work: Promoting freedom and responsibility in
Asia

Look at a photos of the workshop and a screenshot of our common platform
which is filled with articles continually (I still work on that it will be
made public):
