[OSList] Ending a one day OST with 775?

[Pernilla Luttropp]

Thank you for Michael and Harrison for sharing useful ideas!
I will keep thinking of various options and if I see you in London I might
ask you again, the event is just after WOSonOS.

Best
Pernilla

>> Dear collegues!
>> I very much enjoy the conversations on this list. But I haven¹t used it for
>> getting input myself until now. I'm looking forward to your wise thoughts on
>> my question.
>> 
>> I¹ve been doing Open Space for over 10 years, some big and some small but
>> most of them for only one day. Right now I¹m planning a one day Open Space
>> at a school with 775 students, 16-18 years, teachers and politicians. The
>> pre-group, with mostly students, decided on the theme ³What do you want to
>> change in our municipality?² (I tried to argue for develop/expand instead of
>> change, but they didn¹t want to develop all the bad things...).
>> I might add that the politicians are really excited about this and they have
>> decided to return to the school within 2 months with feedback on the issues
>> that involves their work.
>> 
>> My question is how to end this Open Space the best way. I haven¹t done a big
>> group like this for a few years and since then I¹ve changed some things -
>> ³one less thing to do². I used to do prioritizing with dots in big groups
>> but lately I just give space for reflections or invite for action planning,
>> depending on the group.
>> 
>> The pre-group was worried that the 1st-graders would be too shy to announce
>> their issue in the microphone. I¹m not too worried about that, but I¹m not
>> sure that inviting for action planning is a good idea. It might just be the
>> ³known voices² of the school that steps up (that would probably change if
>> the Open Space went on for two days).
>> 
>> My gut feeling now is to do prioritizing, call out the top 5 issues, let
>> everybody say one word each in the microphone and then end it with the
>> turn-around-and-take-the­next-step. That will probably only take one hour
>> (young people are usually fast). What do you think?
>> 
>> This is the schedule for now:
>> 8:30 Introduction and creating the wall
>> 9:30 Session 1
>> 10.40 Session 2
>> 11:45-13.15 Lunch (not negotiable time)
>> 13:15 Session 3
>> 14:20 Coffee break, time for finishing report and getting back in the circle
>> 14:45  ???
>> 16.15 Ending time
>> 
>> Rainy greetings from Sweden and Stockholm!
