[OSList] Higher Education Open Space organized by the EU

[helene via OSList]

thank you Michael; reading the resumee I feel that it is simple to make 
OST become harmless:
let only people with the same worldview (or innerworld view) come 
together! and THAT must be the most usual situation among EU-OS 
participants...(same kind of people, despite many countries and languages)
