Eva, similar to Harrison, at the 2005 Girl Scout Convention with 1700,
we put microphone stands in 4 of the "fire marshall aisles" and
invited people to share what had heart and meaning, what got you
moving, what touched you, etc. We only had 10 minutes to do the
closing and this worked wonderfully well.
If you would like to see how this worked, some of the closing comments
can be found at the end of CONNECTED: Transforming the Conversation at
the 2005 Convention : Thousands of Girl Scouts use Open Space
Technology and World Cafe to focus on the Core Business Strategy at
the 2005 Girl Scout National Convention.
May this dream of you and your friend come true so that you can build
on the best of the past and perhaps innovate new closing circle process.
Love from a brilliant afternoon in Bisbee, Arizona, a few miles from
the border with Mexico,
