Open space applied to sustainability projects?

[Chris Corrigan]

Yes...I have been a part of numerous Open Space events on sustainability, none of them on design or implementation of projects like you describe, but lots on community building and resiliency.  Am heading to Australia in three days to work with Viv McWaters, Anne Pattillo, Geoff Broan and Johnnie Moore to run an Open Space on evaluating behaviour change in a complex world directed at sustainability and returning to British Columbia to run one for a Transition Town movement in Nelson BC.  So that's just THIS MONTH.  And I'm just one guy.

Here are the relevant websites:

Cheers,

Chris

Ralph Copleman an old friend of many years,  directs a sustainability project in New Jersey and Open Space has been a part ever since. Where are you Ralph? Then we have Kai Degner, Mayor of Harrisonburg, VA whose Open Space community summits have dealt with sustainability amongst other things. A Google check will get you info about that.
