MY face i a little red. I thought of you when the lady from Beirut asked me ... but I thought to suggest somebody closed (Claudia who is in Egypt). But I haven't heard what's happening, so who knows. And how are you? Degree progressing? Still worth it? See you?

Dear Catrin,
Hi! Thanks for sharing and giving me a glimpse of how the ForumZFD event on the 3rd-5th of December would look like. I haveto say that I am not a licensed expert of OST (Open Space Technology) and I andmy local organization, Pailig Development Foundation, Inc. were just blessed tohave been trained by Atty. Franklin M. Quijano, one of the OST licensed expertsin the country. After our training, we have practically used OST in our strategicplanning, community dialogues, and consultations on the Bangsamoro Basic Law on2014 where the consolidated results where hand-in to the BTC Chair then MohaqerIqbal. As to experience in the Middle East, I only got the chance for 2 hours layover at Doha International Airport J and that would mean, I can’t fluently speakany Arabic word except for a few common words such as shukran, “habibi” and theIslamic praise “Allahu Akbar”.
On your 3 days event, it’s a great idea to bring togetheryour colleagues especially local partners and other organizations working oncommunity empowerment and mobilization with the purpose of learning from oneanother’s experiences. I got the chance to experience the same purpose at theProfessional Exchange on Peace Pedagogy held recently at Zinzendorfhaus,Neudientendorf, Germany early October this year.
Since you are considering OST as your process, are youalready familiar with its purpose and principles? In my experience, all thethings that you envision to happen in the event can be covered with the OSTprocess as long as the Theme of the event is clearly defined, and asking theright/appropriate questions based on your theme. I would suggest that,everybody should be oriented first with the OST before using it. For example,on the first day in the morning you have the welcome address by(host/organizers) and rationale of the event) followed by a creativeintroduction of participants (can also include the expectation check), settingof house rules, then a brief orientation on the OST purpose and principles. Onceeverybody is on the same page on OST, the facilitator can apply the processwith the event’s theme and well-crafted questions. The most crucial part here is the formulationof the theme and questions which would also stemmed from the goal andobjectives of the event like the coming together, learning from another’scontext /challenges /issues/motivations.
I am willing to share with you what I learned and experienceon the OST the best I can, and Atty. Franklin can do more whom I cc’d in thisemail and could probably refer you to his international contacts of OSTlicensed practitioners who could speak Arabic.
Have a great week ahead!
Sincerely,
Mai

Dear Gimaidee,
I am referring to the email you received from Jayshree. I am Miriam's colleague and the person who is organising the conference in December.
The plan is to bring different organisations that work on community
organising/mobilising together. forumZFD (a German-based NGO) as the
organiser is interested in bringing together some colleagues from Jordan
and Iraq, our local partners and other organisations working on
community empowerment/mobilisation/organisation.
Our hope is that we will all learn from each other and hopefully decide
to support each other and share experience in the future. Ideally we
would love to help establish a network but we don't want to push this in
the center of the event as we first want to see what issues/challenges
and interests/motivations are in the room.
I can send you more information later but I wonder if you would
generally be interested in potentially facilitating this and if you have any experiences working in the Middle East and if you can faciliate in Arabic.
The event is planned for 3-5 December.
We believe that we need the first morning for introductions (maybe world cafe style or something creative). In the afternoon we would collect and discuss topics open space style.
On the second day we want to go deeper and have discussed different methods but not yet decided on one (maybe something like bar-camps with suggested topics by the participants might be cool for parts of the day)
On 5th of December we will probably offer different options like tours and visits or more in-depth working groups.
It would be great to hear from you on that. Maybe you could already give me a rough indication of your fees and potential expenses and send me some references?
With all the best wishes,
Catrin

Dear Miriam, Dear Mai (nickname of Gimaidee),
I am very pleased indeed to introduce you to each other and can exchange with each other for inspiration on peacebuilding, and particularly to answer your questions regarding Open Space Technology (OST). (note: I am therefore forwarding the email from Miriam to Gimaidee.) I can assure both of you that you can have a fun and fruitful exchanges on many topics.
Gimaidee is Acting Managing Director of Pailig Development Foundation, Inc, my former partner organization. She is familiar with forumZFD and met one of your colleagues when she was trained at the Forum Akademie last year.
I recommend Gimaidee as we had utilized the OST together on many occasions in GIZ CPS projects in Mindanao. Gimaidee is also in contact with a Filipino accredited OST consultant who had guided us, Mr. Franklin M. Quijano. He is an alumni member of the Pailig Academy for Grassroots Democracy and offered us experiential training and mentoring on OST.
I hope that this will suffice in opening up a conversation between you both.. ;-)
Fyi Miriam, So lovely to hear from you. I have cc’ed my private email into this message. Mark and I shall be leaving the Philippines in December. I actually am only at work for 2 more weeks in early December. So hope to keep in contact with you through my personal email address.
Lots of love,
Jayshree

Hi Jayshree,
How are you? How is everything in the Philippines? Its Miriam. We met during the facilitation meeting of Zena-Gabrielle Hailu and the RFT in Palestine. I remember that you once spoke about the "open space format" during the facilitation workshop. It happens that my team is preparing a conference with such a format. I was wondering if you know any great facilitators specialized on open space?
Would be great hearing from you! We are grateful for any help.
Best wishes from Beirut,
Miriam
