[OSList] WOSonOS15

[Jon Harvey]

Hi Thomas and all

 

It was "reported" to us that there had been offers to host the WOSONOS15 in
Mexico, Spain and China. However, no details were available in Belgrade
despite the organiser (Jasmina) seeking such in advance of WOSONOS14. On
that basis, the only offer really on the table was Poland. 

 

But if the other hosts want to come forward now with some more details -
then we can certainly debate whether the event that is going to happen in
Poland next September is called a LEXOS or a WOSONOS (or both!). 

 

For information, it is my understanding that several of the Polish
participants arrived not knowing that others were coming from there too. The
energy and self-organising spirit was with Poland.

sounds like it'll be in Poland which I think is great. Anyway to my
knowledge we (or the ones present at site) used to choose from the available
offers presented there (on site). So those present were considered making a
decision on the behalf of all of us not present on site.

So if there was only one offer, I guess it was a quite simple decision. 

But maybe I missed something too (-:

Wohooo

dear OSLIST,

 

it is with great joy that we write to you from belgrade airport, just
moments after the end of WOSonOS14. it was a great event, full of rich
conversations and shared moments of deep synchronicity. 

 

in the decision making process of WHERE IS THE WOSonOS15 TAKING PLACE
something strange and beautiful happened. my lovely colleague, sylwia myszka
and i, knowing that the next gathering will most probably take place
overseas extended an invitation to all the ones who will be staying more
local to join the 4th (EUROPEAN) OPEN SPACE LEARNING EXCHANGE (which, for
making things easier we call LEXOS), which we are happy to host next year in
poland. 

 

as there was no clear message from the other inviters for WOSonOS15 (spain,
mexico and china) to the community confirming the invitation, and poland was
present and ready to take the responsibility, the participants who were
there decided to make the LEXOS (which would be a local event) become a
WOSonOS (so a global one). we - sylwia and i and the other poles present at
the event - are more than happy with the honour, and at the same time we are
aware, that: a. there is the whole rest of you who were not in belgrade, who
also have a say in the selection of the next place, b. there were
invitations expressed by three other countries. so we want to give it a
moment for the others to react and say WAIT, WE ARE IN THE GAME AS WELL!

 

either way, we will be hosting an OST event in poland, no matter if it
primarily invites the european & around community or the world community. we
feel it is the right moment for poland to step up, and there are plenty of
us to share the responsibility (alone on the WOSonOS there were EIGHT - and
a half - with tova :) - people from poland, so over 20% of the
participants!).

 

we are happy to invite you already!

 

the dates are clear: 10-13 september 2015, the place will be confirmed
shortly. 

 

we would love to organise the event in an open space way, inviting an
international team of those who feel passionate and want to share the
responsibility for creating a beautiful event with us. if you want to join
the team, please email me for details.

 

overjoyed and still amazed,

 

sylwia myszka & karolina iwa

progressive partners
