<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><font size=2 face="Trebuchet MS"><span
lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>Some students at
one of the Art Universities in East Germany organized a conference about
‘Sustainability and Design’ in May 2006. The event
lasted 4 days. For the first day they had invited different
‘experts’ to talk about the issue and than they asked me to
facilitate an 2,5 day open space for them.</span></font></p>

lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><font size=2 face="Trebuchet MS"><span
lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>Their main idea
was to have some space outside the regular clasdes to meet and discuss with
students from different departments and universities. They ended up being most
of them industrial design students and some coming from other studies like
ecology. At first they were a bit disappointed that not more people from ‘outside’
had come. (there were about 20 participants in the open space) From what
was said in the closing circle it made a big difference for them to meet each
other outside regular clases around an issue that is important for them in
their lives and studies. Even though most of them knew each other before, it
was a different getting to know each other.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><font size=2 face="Trebuchet MS"><span
lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>One of the
things that were quite interesting about that open space: they had prepared a
lot of ‘creative material’ for the students and were really afraid
that the art students were a bunch of non- social people that would run and
hide in their work- shops to work on the issues individually. They never
touched all those materials (and didn’t run away either), but were just
sitting their and talking and came to the conclusion for themselves, that they
had such a need to discuss, because the practical part was the every day thing
and there was not enough room for the exchange of ideas.</span></font></p>

work with them and their network to have an Open Space in March 2007 with 500
students to explore exactly that diversity. Out of this event it might create a
new organization that will support the students to network and create their own
projects and initiatives. I imagine a kind of an office complex designed
through the principles of OS ready to create and support any breakout
group. Of course in this sense it must become somewhat of the preferred
place for students with a cafeteria, copy shop, offices, Biergarden :) and so
on. And as graduated students they are welcome to return to consult issues of
participation in their world as parents, teachers, university professors,
consultants, normal workers, community members... What a great field of
research it could open... as well as practice for the students. (= Learning
Organization??)</span></font></p>
