[OSList] Third European Open Space Learning Exchange in Utrecht/Netherlands Nov 20-22

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear LIST,
I have the pleasure of forwarding the invitation to the Third European 
Open Space Learning Exchange in November in the Netherlands.
Since 2009 we convene these events in those years in which the WOSonOS 
is not in Europe (2009 in Paris, 2011 in Sardinia where the Fifth 
Principle was proclaimed) and this year in Utrecht.
Frank Little is the convener supported by Gerardo de Luzenberger from 
Italy and myself in Berlin in crafting this invitation.
If you live in Europe or feel like a European or are just crazy about 
Learning Exchanges this is the event this Fall to participate in.
Frank, Gerardo and I are the first participants and know that whoever 
else joins will be the right people.
Have a great day,
mmp

Dear os-worker,
I invite you to come to the Third Open Space Learning Exchange in Europe.
It will begin at 12:30 on Wednesday, November 20 and end at 13:00 hours
on Friday, November 22, 2013. We will meet in the historic heart of
Utrecht, The Netherlands.
As in 2009 in Paris and in 2011 in Sardinia (the years in which the
World Open Space on Open Space did not gather in Europe) you will meet
facilitators, sponsors of Open Space events and others interested in
this work from all over Europe to expand our understanding of Open Space
Technology and how to work with it in the complex system of Europe and
elsewhere.

PROGRAMME
There is no prearranged programme. Rather, we meet in an Open Space on
Open Space. The programme will be determined by our issues, stuff that
interests us and that we want to take action on.
On DAY ONE we arrive at the venue at 12:30 for registration and a simple
lunch. The Opening Circle will be at 13:30 with introduction to the
process, announcing issues and the market place followed by two rounds
of breakout sessions for work on the issues. Groups prepare short
reports of what they want everybody else to be informed about and post
them on the News Wall. At 18:00 we all meet for "Evening News", closing
for the day at 18:30.
We will choose a popular 'stammtisch' for each evening.
On DAY TWO we continue at 9:30 with Morning Announcements followed by
four rounds of breakout sessions, the first planned for 10:00. There
will be a simple lunch around 13:00.
After the last round of breakout sessions we have the chance to study
all reports posted in a Reading Gallery. Evening News will be at 17:00,
closing at 17:30 and, thereafter of course, stammtisch...
On DAY THREE we engage in Action Planning after Morning Announcements at
9:00, continuing till 12:15. The Closing Circle starts at 12:15 and the
third OSLEX closes at 13:00 hours.

COST and other DETAILS
To cover the direct costs of holding the event, give as much as you can.
We will need on average Euro 150 per participant (this includes Dutch
VAT at 21%).
If you want to take part in the Learning Exchange, please send an email
to Frank Little at bfl at xs4all.nl to this effect and state the
contribution you can make. You will receive a confirmation of your
registration and an invoice once the final number of participants is
known. To help us in our planning, please let us know soon, best right
away, but no later than November 15 that you want to take part in the
Learning Exchange.
If you or someone you know is unable to pay this amount, do tell them to
contact us. Nobody is turned away from our Learning Exchange because of
money.
We will send you information about the city and details on
accommodations close to our Venue. Utrecht is in the center of the
Netherlands, easily reachable by trains (half an hour from Amsterdam and
from the airport). The venue is within walking distance of the central
railway station in Utrecht.
Please also inform others by passing this message on to them.
Greetings from Utrecht
Frank Little for the co-inviters
