color:#1F497D'>In your description of your process for activities taking place the
day prior to the OS, you used the OS question as the icebreaker. Good thinking
to build that natural link with the OS to come. I usually put the question in
participants kits when they have one but you made me think that in the future I
will make a poster of it and place it very visibly at the entrance and near the
coffee pot. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I don’t usually do any form of ice breaker before the OS
begins for reasons previously discussed by many on this list (e.g. OS opening
acts as icebreaker as participants have often reported to me; informal intros with
the welcome coffee and in group discussions, with butterflies etc). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>This poster with the question is very respectful of the
principles of self-organization and does not take away time from the actual
discussions and the group’s time to self organize – a criticism
that even participants new at OS have made about structured icebreakers when
some facilitators have tried this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>.. the story continues...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I was excited and nervous, to
tell the truth. There were so many uncertainties:<br>
- Would people follow the multiple complexities of the workshop approach?<br>
- Would the folks be ready to accept the idea the change is a journey (hey,
these are people sponsored by a German political party!)<br>
- Would participants use the virtual tools that we suggest? Would they be able
to handle the technology as suggested?<br>
- Would the network of the hotel hold?<br>
<br>
Well, we had a couple of technical issues but those were minor. The workshop
concept worked perfectly. These were the steps of today<br>
<br>
1. Warming up - asking particpants to mingle and to talk about what they are
passionate about and what they want to take responsibilty for during the
workshop<br>
2. Setting up the six reporting groups and asking them to define their
objectives and working procedures<br>
3. Having short presentations to share the project work of the people from
different countries (my personal highlight: A documentary about Jakarta garbage
collectors, which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival: "The
Wanderers"). See all presentations at <br>

4. I did a short presentation on Why Change Has Changed, which evoked a great
discussion about steerability of change processes: <br>

5. At 16h00, people went into their reporter groups and produced photos: <br>
<span lang=DE><a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=fnasia"><span
lang=EN-US>http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=fnasia</span></a></span>, a podcast,
a series of blog postings, and a video which yet has to be uploaded.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow is Open Space, all day long, on the theme<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b>Increasing the impact of our
work: Promoting freedom and responsibility in Asia</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Look at a photos of the workshop
and a screenshot of our common platform which is filled with articles
continually (I still work on that it will be made public):<br>
