[OSList] When did you first hear about OST?

[Kári Gunnarsson via OSList]

I did first hear about Open Space as one of many tools used in the youth
program in the EU.  The first experience for me at an Open Space event was
part of a networking event in 2005 for youth workers where 15 youth workers
from the English speaking West Europe where gathered to share experiences
with 15 youth workers from the Russian and English speaking East Europe. We
where gathered for 10 days, but only one of these days was for Open Space
with the theme of how we can work with one another after the event. The
Open Space facilitators was from Moscow and the Sponsor was from Austria.
It was a year later when going to a more traditional workshop conference in
2006 for the youth work I was involved with that I found the need for the
power of Open Space as the old way of doing things was not serving the
purpose of the gathering as it was presented to me. Then I got the books
from the internet, read them and started experimenting with my first Open
Space invitation sent in 2007.
