I am also working with another client who will use OS with community leaders, young people and county services representatives to generate ideas about support services for young people and the creation of a youth center. I just returned from the World Open Space on Open Space in Taiwan, where people from many countries explored such topics as how OS is being used to help communities rebuild after the typhoons, how to include women and children's voices and needs by using tools of dialogue in a patriarchal / hierarchal culture, and how our different cultures inform how we participate in discussions. This gives you a sense of how Open Space can be used to invite productive, interactive, interdisciplinary and inter-cultural thinking, idea generation, resource-sharing, a sense of community, and renewed energy for an organization or community)</i></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">- - - -</div><div><br></div></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Join us - register now - for the</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; "><b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0082">Open Space Learning Workshop</font></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 9px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; "><i>For people of all levels of experience</i></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0082"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><b>December 9-11, 2009</b></span></font></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0082"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><b>San Francisco, California USA</b></span></font></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Facilitated by Lisa Heft</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Fellow, Columbia University's Center for International Conflict Resolution</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Adjunct Faculty, Sonoma State University Organization Development Program</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Board Member, Open Space Institute US</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">- - - -</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; min-height: 12px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; ">Open Space is a dialogic method where one facilitator can convene from ten to 2000+ participants for dynamic, participant-driven dialogue. OS can be used for bringing together an entire company to highlight emergent issues and opportunities before strategic planning, generating ideas for product or program design, sharing resources and best practices, understanding each other across cultures, sharing knowledge across disciplines, conflict transformation, exchanging thought and experience about complex situations and engaging groups from small to large in seeing a full-systems perspective for their opportunities or issues.
