[OSList] The Art of Collaboration / Collaboratory

Wed May 25 10:07:49 PDT 2016

I love the way you offer that, Karl - “but I’m not sure if that was the question”.

Indeed, that was not the question, though thank you. Beatrice and Ana have been working on this for some time, and their home language is Spanish, and they are quite skilled as facilitators. So what I was saying was if anyone was interested in helping on the OS side of things, to contact those two marvelous colleagues. 

I did not know that Jasmina’s home language was Spanish - she lives in Serbia but it is true that we are of many home cultures in the many places we live in the world. Not always cultures of origin that one might think by seeing where we are, geographically. Your mention of her also gives those of us who know her an opportunity to say how much we love and appreciate Ms. Jasmina, eh? So thank you for mentioning her…

>> Sadly, I will not be in Donostia for these days of workshops and conversations, but I will be with you all in spirit.

>> In the spirit of collaboration, folks on this list - perhaps you may wish to contact them to find out their plans.

>> 
>> The reason that I myself am not facilitating is that I want to support first-language capacity - the Open Space event open to the public will as I understand it be in Spanish as its first language. So I wanted to support someone with full-on skills as an experienced Open Space facilitator who -also- had as their first-language (or perhaps 2nd, in the case of some people who are Basque), Spanish. I have lots of experience in facilitation and in OS - but I am not first-language Spanish, though I speak Spanish. It is cultural as much as about words. 
>> 
>> So: If you help Ana and Bea do what they may ultimately do with Open Space, that may be something you may wish to support and include yourselves in, my friends. An event that may be facilitated in Spanish. I have supported many colleagues who facilitate in not-my-language, and it is really fun. In Open Space, you can still see and feel what is going on and you can still help the facilitator.  I especially remember an OS all in Russian where I helped support our colleague Elena Marchuk. Amazing what you can feel and sense and of course as we know, you can hold space.
>> 
>> The other reason I could not attend is resources - there was not a way for me to afford coming back to Spain - I do not have an organization or other source of resourcing - I am self-resourced. So perhaps some of you who are closer geographically can go to fabulous (really really fabulous) Donostia with the funding you or some organization that supports you can offer. 
>> 
>> So: I support you from afar, Xenki and CoLaborators ! !
>> 
>> I have not heard if there is yet a clear objective and desired outcome for the Open Space parts, if OS will indeed be the process that is analyzed to be the right fit for time and task and such - or if there has yet been found a physical site for that, what about outreach for it, schedules and other interconnected elements that support design and process. I understand that things are self-organizing and if this is still so, and still in process, it might be yet another reason to lend your support to Ana and Bea - to find out those things together. 
>> 
>> There is as I understand it also a sort of organic designing-it-together element to these dates, with the addition of some workshops and some different gatherings. And of course there is the continuing professional and cultural learning of being with diverse colleagues passionate about dialogue and discussing these things over local food and beverage, as well. I will be with you in spirit for that part, as well… ;o)
