volunteers are onsite right now, to support the conversations and capture the
stories. StoryWeaving has already taken off with 150 Digital StoryWeaver
girls using their flip cameras to record members sharing their stories.
StoryLooms invite members to weave their stories along with other Girl Scout
stories into pieces of art. The 900 person Open Space for Sharing
and Learning has just concluded with members posting 62 topics over
two sessions. Picture girls standing at the microphones, thanking the
adults for truly listening to them and adults tearfully expressing their
passion and gratitude for everything they learned. Lisa Heft did a
magnificent job of holding the space and inviting new thinking. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
