It was a stroke of luck that in Egypt a whole nation found its Open Space right there on Tahrir Square. On that square (or was it a circle?), the new democratic rules of the game were tested and practiced. And what works in Egypt can also function in Tunisia – and hopefully soon in Syria, Jordan and Libya too. That is why political foundations and institutions active in development cooperation should use the opportunity to train local facilitators and trainers, develop an Arabic Open Space manual, and systematically support Open Space initiatives. At present, no region of the world is more in need of open spaces to discuss its societies’ political future than the Arab world”
