[OSList] The Power of Pre-Work - August 8-10, San Francisco

[corina castro]

Dear Lisa,

I would love to be with you in the pre-workshop in London but my daughter
is living there and I'd rather be with her a little bit while I'm in
London.

I hope I will be able to learn with you in any other place on world. Would
you like to pop up in Brazil?

Hugs,
Corina

> Hi, all -
> Back on this theme of Pre-Work -
>
> Hege: I would love to share learning with you - though you will be in good
> hands with the fabulous team of Eva and Thomas. And I of course would love
> to be in your workshops one day - Eva, Thomas and Chris.
> We all have so much to learn from each other.
>
> I travel around the world with my facilitation and workshops - I go
> wherever I am hosted and also have a few per year in my home region of the
> San Francisco Bay Area. So you never know - we could one day share learning
> about pre-work in or nearby to Norway. Or Australia. Or ... there is the
> delightful mystery of what may happen in the future, eh?
>
> Chris - how wonderful that you are teaching OST and World Cafe at the
> University. They are lucky to have you. And what a great workshop design!
> With what you were saying and what Michael was asking - It sounds like
> some of you teach (or are planning to teach) pre-work through engaging
> folks in Open Space around that topic. Maybe others have other approaches
> to this particular workshop design. And Chris, I am so glad you are working
> with folks on invitation - really truly one of the major jobs for a
> successful dialogue event.
>
> About my own workshop content and approach: My "The Power of Pre-Work"
> workshop does not take place in an Open Space format - and it is not
> exclusively regarding the method of Open Space.
> It is an interactive 2.5-day workshop with a series of activities,
> conversations and silent reflection - along with text, spoken word, graphic
> and other forms of learning exchange, exploration, puzzle-solving and
> reflection.
> It is for any kind of face-to-face dialogue approach - not specific to
> method.
>
> It shares lessons learned - and our existing pooled knowledge - about...
>
> - invitation text, strategy and the nature of invitation
> - registration as two-way communication and a source of shared resources
> - ideas for working around challenging rooms and room-sets
> - values and actions regarding access and inclusion
> - how food and beverage type, timing and location support or break into
> the flow of dialogue
> - diverse forms of documentation design for dialogue events
> - thoughts about uncovering all the details in our communication with
> clients to inform how we might design our event or what dialogue method we
> might choose
> - some of the many questions we can ask a client to inform this
> - reflection on how we use both mind and intuition to inform ourselves in
> the pre-work phase
>
> ...and more.
>
> Bhav and Sherri - I would have to think long and hard about how to use
> existing technology - in a way that I feel I can truly support well - that
> also reflects my passion for doing interactive, experiential, face-to-face,
> participant-centered, activity-based learning design. So who knows -
> perhaps that will be in the future. Meanwhile - I travel ;o)
>
> And Sherri - I will add you to my list of folks who would like to take
> this workshop whenever time and place align. I teach this workshop in the
> San Francisco area about once a year or wherever hosted - though I do Open
> Space Learning Workshops a several times a year. If you can afford the
> travel costs - my workshops are always a
> pay-the-most-you-can-given-your-own-individual-or-organizational-ability
> and for the San Francisco workshops there is always a lovely hostel nearby
> for super low-cost housing, if you need it.
>
> As you know - I am passionate. Passionate about pre-work. And access. And
> inclusion. And oh... a few more things.... ;o)
>
> I will see some of you at the WOSonOS in London this October. I will be
> offering the Open Space Learning Workshop in the days just before - and I
> am delighted to see some of my dear OS friends and some new ones as well
> registering for that workshop. We will have a tiny taste about pre-work but
> mostly focus on things very specific to Open Space in particular.  I look
> forward to seeing some of you there (you can register via the
> wosonos2012.com website - see 'What's Happening When / Pre-Event Open
> Space Learning Workshop'.
>
> Or you never know. I may pop up right next door to where you live...
>
> Cheers from a sunny afternoon in California,
