have been contemplating on “whatever happens is the only thing that could

know from this list, facilitated this meeting and I tried to support her to my
capability. This was the first time we opened space together in <st1:country-region
st="on" w:st="on">Turkey</st1:country-region>, so it was quite a historical day
for all of us, considering the work Funda has done in the last years to invite
people to open space in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region st="on" w:st="on">Turkey</st1:country-region></st1:place>…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Today we co-hosted a group of people
who are passionate about improving the public transport in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
st="on" w:st="on">Istanbul</st1:City></st1:place>. Their immediate focus was
saving the traditional ferryboats of <st1:City st="on" w:st="on">Istanbul</st1:City>
which are one of the important symbols of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City st="on"
w:st="on">Istanbul</st1:City></st1:place> that reflects the spirit of this
city. Saving because the municipality wanted to get rid of them to bring in new
and fast sea buses. So by taking a stand on the maintenance of these ferries,
this group actually is one of the real citizens’ movements in Turkey that
has some effect on local decision making…the theme of today’s
meeting was to come up with activities for 2006 to improve sea transport and
saving the ferries…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>All in all it went well with a
little more chaos than usual…groups were formed, exciting conversations
were held, actions were proposed…and Funda did a great job in opening the
space…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>However convergence was a little
disaster in my view, and good news is that I was hosting it </span></font><font

size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>there could be many reasons for this but I
tend to blame myself or the group for the outcome. When it was convergence
time, we re-opened space where I invited people to announce the actions they
want to take. By the time I could finish my sentence, some people had left the
room, some wondering around, some chatting to the person next to them, two
people shouting at each other…I invited the group about 3 times and
nothing changed. At the end, someone read some proposed actions from the
previous session, put them on the floor and people who were interested signed
up. By that time half of the group had left already. Unfortunately we
didn’t even have a closing, because we couldn’t maintain the energy
of the group anymore. The meeting finished an hour earlier than the proposed
time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Now, whatever happens is the only
thing that could have. But for my own sanity, I need some practical help here.
Because this seems to be the general group dynamics over here and I am having a
hard time as a facilitator to deal with it. Not only it makes me feel
incompetent, it makes me also lose hope at certain points about being able to
do any useful work over here…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>My main challenges are that people
don’t listen well, they don’t concentrate during a meeting, so they
miss and don’t follow the instructions and the groups are not able to
converge. In all of the meetings I attended so far, I found myself watching in
awe how people disappear before we are able to say, so this meeting is finished.
And naturally there is no conclusion. I then feel all the energy that was built
up during a meeting gets wasted before we could channel it into something
constructive…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have been told that being young
and female does not help in Turkish culture. I do not accept this as an
explanation. <br>
I would like to know whether any of you worked in a similar cultural setting
where it was difficult to shift the group energy beyond the individual to the
collective, where listening and focusing was a challenge…and people
proceeded the way they wanted to. To which degree do you or do you not
interfere? What do you do, when you propose a step and one (or more)
participant suggests something else before your next step? (this happens so
often here, drives me crazy, even if you say no, we cant really do that, people
go ahead anyway) What are the conditions for being able to converge a group
whose energy is all over the place?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
