Subject: [OSLIST] Opening Space in Bilbao_CONSP!RING EUTOKIA

EUTOKIA is a place for what is called social innovation supported by the Bilbao 
Council. It's being inaugurated starting tomorrow and finishing with a half day 
Open Space event I was invited to facilitate just last Monday: 3D BURUMAPA.

The conditions have been quite special. Some points about it:

	* The  invitation was already made. Even if the sponsors and their invitation 
embody the OS spirit, I suggested some changes that we are going to introduce in 
the signals in the room.
	* They insisted that they don't want to ask people to confirm attendance, as it 
may be a bit as "forcing". 

	* They asked me, so to think how to make it really easy to get introduced in 
the job for people coming at whatever time (the attendance is supposed to be 
something like this: 20 people at 4, 20 more at 5, 20 more at 6, maybe 40 more 
between 6 and 8 and many people leaving in between). I thought about some lines 
to hand out to facilitate a quick understanding of OS.
	* Taking notes and the final report may happen, but the sponsors challenge 
(that I accepted) was to integrate every idea and note during the event in one 
big Mind Map.
	* I'll open space in both Basque and Spanish to encourage conversations taking 
place in both (everybody coming know Spanish, but I'm sure that different 
languages would form different groups and give birth to more diverse ideas), so 
I'll be trying to be as short as possible in the introduciton message. That's 
why I'm very interested about the answers to Artur's last message (OST following 
a creative enhacing training) that I repost here: 


"....Anyhow  the main facilitator/trainer of the previous day made me a 
suggestion  that I would like to have your opinions about. The suggestion was 
based  in the way they have done their trainings in the past (explaining  
everything in the beginning) and the way they do now (explaining only  what is 
needed for each phase). So the suggestion was to divide the  opening in two 
parts: the first one with a bit of history and the  presentation of the 
timetable with no Agenda and then ask for session  topics; and then explain the 
principles, law and animals and go on to  the Market Place." ...
 
I  have some opinions about this, but I prefer to give them later. At this  
moment I would like to know if anyone has ever tried this two-steps  type of 
opening and with what results. If not (and considering the  context I have 
mentioned of the previous one day training) what do you  think about the 
suggestion I have received?..."
If you know about anyone near Bilbao that might be interested in OS, forward 
this piece of info, please, and our invitation to join us in  the consp!ration.

Thanks for your support, 

Eleder 

pd: I recently moved from Bilbao to Mundaka, a small town on the coast, much 
more inspiring for waver riders, sure :-)!
