<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" DEFAULT="FACE"><FONT SIZE="3" POINTSIZE="12" DEFAULT="SIZE">Dear Colleagues,<BR>
this is the 5th and last day of the os-facilitator training in<BR>
Weimar, Germany with 46 participants from 13 European countries.<BR>
I am sitting on top of a huge pile of insights and learnings but want<BR>
to share with you just the bits and pieces that were announced<BR>
during morning news...which I think show a little of the spirit that<BR>
emerged in this very diverse group:<BR>
-birth of my grandchild complete with name and weight and a huge<BR>
round of clapping and congratulation<BR>
-a handmade greeting card for the support staff (kitchen, cleaning,<BR>
technicians) being passed around for people to sign<BR>
-a Father Day song (also called "men's day" in these parts) presented<BR>
in Swedish...the singer walking the circle once while presenting the<BR>
song<BR>
-Report on a participant who had to enter the hospital and is now<BR>
recuperating with the indication of returning to the training during<BR>
the day<BR>
-Profuse thank you and appreciation for a group that had organized a<BR>
campfire the night before (including the chopping of the required<BR>
wood)<BR>
-announcement that a 200 photo CD about the training is in production<BR>
and will go to all the participants<BR>
-the comment from the facilitator-in-training as a mobile rings<BR>
"there are even announcements from outer space arriving"<BR>
-reminder of a participant to notify the technical staff when a<BR>
computer breaks down in the computer cabinet and not to just walk off<BR>
-announcing a chatroom that will be available to the group on<BR>
<FONT COLOR=0000ff><U>www.openspace.pl<FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"></U> beginning 7pm on June 6<BR>
-announcing the creation of an international open space-museum as<BR>
part of the polish website<BR>
<BR>
We closed the training with a medicine wheel exercise to reflect on<BR>
the temporary learning organisation, handing out certificates of<BR>
attendence by participants themselves and the final circle for<BR>
everyone to have a last look at all the others present, Indian rain<BR>
included and then turning around, feeling the group at your back and<BR>
walking off into all directions.<BR>
<BR>
So there is a new wave of os-facilitators (several with considerable<BR>
experience but most of them complete newcomers) going out to Malta,<BR>
Portugal, Poland, Romania, Austria, Sweden, Estonia (three people,<BR>
including Mikk Sarv and Mariu Sarv who had ho in Estonia last year<BR>
and are translating the Practice of Peace into Estonian), Belgium,<BR>
Lithuania, Slovenia, Latvia, Hungary and of course Germany swarming<BR>
out---<BR>
<BR>
It was great fun with a grand team (Hans-Georg Wicke, Serpil Karahan,<BR>
Mia Konstantinidou and Michael Pannwitz jr.)<BR>
<BR>
