To care means there is passion involved. It also means that responsibility is
being taken for that which is care for. Space is opened when somebody claims
their passion with responsibility. Now it may all turn out to be a flash in the

think this is just the way it is.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hello,<br>
<br>
as far as I have read, OS is called by a community, company, association or
group that regularly works together, let's say. <br>
<br>
My question is: <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>would OS work also if an
individual invited openly people for an Open Space about a topic that may get
the interest of a general group of people?</span></b> For example, do you think
we - a facilitator or facilitating team - (on our own through our social net,
or, supported, maybe, by an organisation that usually holds summer university
courses, by a local administration or so...) could call for OS events on this
topic:</span></font></p>

"the river in our city is painfully ill. Due to it, all of people here are
losing a great opportunity to enjoy a more local and healthy lifestyle. Imagine
you could daily walk or bike to the river, dive into and swim in it, and
get back home,... wouldn't it be great for all of us? Can we do something to
enhance the recovery of the river? Can we dream about swimming in it in, let's
say, 10-15 years? Do you feel like acting on? Join us in OS and let's start
acting on it..."</span></font></i></p>

What do you think about it?<br>
<br>
Have you ever open such kind of space "proactively", let's say?<br>
<br>
Do you know about similar experiences?<br>
