-- what a trailblazer you are! Michelle Cooper and I assisted the
Registered Nurses Association of Ontario in using Open Space-Online for a very
deep discussion on Post SARS -- the New Normal. Participants from around
the world were delighted in the process. Yesterday I participated with a
group using Open Space-Online once again; and all were delighted to be able to
connect in very authentic and deep ways!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial>Dear colleagues, dear friends of Open Space,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>as many of you know its my mission to enable "Open Space
Real-time Bridges" between the f2f world and the internet world and between
different methods (f2f and online), and to spread the word of Open Space
around the world. A few days ago one of our organizers send me a report
regarding his first OpenSpace-OnlineŽ experience. Its one of my dreams and
hopes, that our method will find beside other fields the way more and
more into education systems. The youth is our future, and I find it so
important, that young people have access to new ways of open,
interdicsiplinary, intercultural, team-oriented and solution-oriented
communcation. We had already projects, where partnerschools worked
together with our method internationally. This organizer started
with our conference software a global working community in the field:
education / sustainability / participation / communication / e-learning.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>For those of you, who are interested in the report I have
copied below his story into this eMail. <BR><BR>Best regards from
Berlin!<BR>Gabriela <BR><BR>+ + + + + + +<BR></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT

OpenSpace-Online Organizer:</STRONG><BR><BR>Conference
title:</FONT><B><BR></B><FONT face=Arial>International and interdisciplinary
OpenSpace-OnlineŽ networking conference "Global Learning & Shaping the
Future"<BR><BR>As project manager of Positive Nett-Works Association Hannover
- Berlin, I am preparing a worldwide network for the cocreation and co-edition
of a multilingual and multidisciplinary Global Learning Online Environment for
the worldwide application in schools. I chose Global Education Week (17-23 Nov
2003), organized by the European Council in 38 countries, as international
opportunity for making our activities known, and inviting networkers, NGOs,
teachers, learners and working in associated fields in the frame of an online
conference. My aim as conference organizer was getting to know interesting
projects , detect content and strategic commons, in order to initiate
international networking activities with our project, but also between the
other participants. <BR><BR>My invitation to an OpenSpace-OnlineŽ
Realtime-Conference (18-Nov-2003) attracted extraordinary attention and broad
distribution. The majority of the participants learned about the event from
newsletters and mailing lists, and did not know each other before the meeting.
In the sense of Open Space philosophy, dedicated individuals with a common
interest were meeting with open minds, but also expectation in some form of
concrete effects. <BR><BR>My conclusion as organizer: <BR>The event has
brought about fantastic conceptual and networking cooperation progress.
Besides the participants, this is truly due to the OpenSpace-OnlineŽ
conference format: It provided full freedom to the participants for bringing
in their personal themes, and to express their personal experiences, interests
and focal activities. Even when thoughts were not followed in the dialogue
thread, the extensive documentation reflects all input, interests, contacts,
and ideas for future cooperation. - a great work resource, reflected in this
final comment by a participant, experienced in UN circles for 20 years, and
head of an NGO with consultative status to the UN: "When are we having the
next discussion, and can we include the UN?"<BR><BR>Concerning the conference
format, participants and myself appreciated foremost:</FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>the simple software installation and conference
know-how</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>the fast technical support all around the clock</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>the high dialogue velocity, which produced high
information content.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>the surprisingly personal atmosphere; the participants
would have enjoyed to discuss for more than 3 hours.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>The possibility of giving informal commentary, and
individual address of participants, without disturbing the overall dialogue
thread.</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>The extensive documentation, offering all dialogue
threads, short summaries of sessions, all adresses and email contacts,
further, as total document, a great wealth of information about the thematic
fields, knowledge, worlds, backgrounds and interests of the participants.
This is a potential for post conference cooperation and exchange
unparalleled in Face2Face conferences.</FONT></LI></UL>
