Anne-Béatrice:
I think that if they start whith that time it si OK and after that if they
decide tomake a longer OS that would be  very nice and they will have
really time for some action planing. But this will be a very good way to
make them know each other and generate trust among them.
I would love to facilitate an OS with children involved! PLease tell us
after how it whent!
I think that the group that contacted you with your herlp needs to chose a
theme, a general question that in meaningful  and all the other small
topics will be proposed by the group that day if they are significant
enough, if people bring thoes topics and issues when creating the agenda
together.
Congratulations!

> I am asked for my first Open Space! By a group of parents who are

> really seems short to me for an Open Space.
>
> There will be around 40 adults and 30 children. The children will be taken

> It would be great :)

> We had no preparation meeting so on as I was just contacted but they

> Even if I know that in OST subjects are not planned in advance, I share

>
>  -  Aims and objectives of the non-profit we could create.
> -  What are the resources we want to give ourselves (time, energy, money) ?
> -  What are our resources for the long term?
> -  How to build a sustainable association or group that does not depend on
> one or two persons?
> -  The creation and role a committee could have in the non profit
> - Would we like to merge or collaborate with the Homeschool Association of
> Switzerland?    Pros, cons, how?
> -  Next steps
> -  Articles of the non-profit
> - What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people in
> their choice? To be known?
>
> I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons
> in Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.
>
> As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am especially
> wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and what can be
> realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that mostly don't know
> each other and would like to have some consensual concrete next steps at
> the end of the afternoon.
>
> Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :)

> Thanks!
