Great Story!! I have passed this along to Anna-Eva Lohe in Uppsala
Sweden, who along with colleagues has been working with unemployed youth
in that city. They did an Open Space in Novemeber, and seem poised to do
more as a means for job development. Perhaps there could be some synergy?
Anna's email is <font size=2><anna-eva.lohe@lohe.se>. I have
suggested that she might like to join us on the listserve.<br>
