innovative planners, developers, tool providers, civic leaders, artists and
others from over 30 states and 3 countries were brought together to share
learning, build networks and seed innovation in place. 3 keynotes inspired and
provoked while a day of programmed sessions saw presentations and discussion
facilitated by 60 leaders in the field. The second half of the conference was
held in Open Space where lines stretched out the hall as participants proposed
session topics, collaboratively built an agenda, and moderated over 60
intensive, small-group discussions, the results of which were captured as a
living transcript using an online wiki.</span></font></p>

the middle and high schools (ages 13-18) and all participants had some
experience with mediation and conflict resolution. The kids did exceptionally
well in Open Space and one high school student led a series of four breakout
sessions to create an entire suicide prevention program that for the middle

Friday, to meet one another, build community and reflect on their experience in
a 2-month process designed to learn about, discuss and report violations of the
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. 55 people, including two Members of
the Provincial Legislative Assembly and other representatives of government and
organizations, gathered with the youth Saturday morning to view their
performance piece that expressed a summary of what the project had learned and
participate in a short and intense Open Space. Topics raised included what to
do to help youth live independently and in safe conditions, stopping police
harassment of Aboriginal and Latino youth by working with the police, and
educating youth and adults on rights. To have provincial politicians sitting in
the room with street youth, working together to move forward the learnings from
the project was a powerful experience.</span></font></p>
