Below you will find a training notice from Roma Iskander that might be
of special interest to UK/European practitioners - particularly in the areas
of health and public participation / community involvement. <br>
Roma is a great chum - very professional and accomplished and with a generous,
open heart. Contact her directly for more info and/or questions.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Glory <br>
<br>
>From Roma....<br>
Following work we were commissioned to do by the Health Development Agency
which was endorsed by the Department of Health and Modernisation Agency
it became clear there is a real need to develop peoples skills/methods in
working with the public. In response to this need we are running a 3 day
training programme on '<b>Creating and Achieving Public and Community involvement'</b>
using <u>Open Space</u> as a method. Please circulate this to anyone who
you think might find it useful. <br>
<br>
There is an email JPEG leaflet and hardcopy leaflet for anyone would like
fuller infornation - availble on request (NB: for people not using broadband
it takes 3 mins to download the email version).<br>

At a deeper level, it enables people to experience a very different quality

constantly shared phenomenon. <br>
Diversity becomes a resource to be used instead of a problem to be overcome,
and personal empowerment a shared experience. It is also fun. Â In a word,
the conditions are set for fundamental insights and changes.</font><font
