New to travel? Lessons learned papers<BR></FONT><BR>Hello, dear colleagues -
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will be seeing some of you wonderful folks at the World Open Space on Open Space (WOSonOS) in Berlin this month.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>During these events we often share thoughts about future locations as we share the WOSonOS around the world (intentionally crossing oceans back and forth so that if the WOSonOS is not near you during one year, it may be geographically closer to your part of the world the next year)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One of the things I do as Access Queen for our community is share information and collected wisdom about the things that help people access these annual international gatherings of ours.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So if you are coming to Berlin and have never traveled outside your own country - if this international travel stuff is very new to you - do send me an email directly at <A href="mailto:lisaheft@openingspace.net" target=_blank rel=nofollow ymailto="mailto:lisaheft@openingspace.net">lisaheft@openingspace.net</A> before May 8 (when I start my own travels) and I can send you a paper with things to think about for first-time international travelers.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And if you are thinking of what it takes (preparation, planning, timelines, traditions, team tasks, resources needed and more) to host a future WOSonOS in your own country in some future year, contact me directly before May 8 or after June 8 and I will send you the collected wisdom from past WOSonOS hosts. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have found that the work of a Host Team starts far in advance, is best supported by a local team (instead of one passionate person on their own) and hosted where there is an existing community of practice (so that it is not a one-time OS experience or a first-time-with-OS experience but instead something that connects to local existing capacity and an existing OS facilitation community), that it is useful to have experienced at least one WOSonOS (to see how it differs from other OS events including some of the traditions shared from year to year), that the majority of participants come over land and shorter sea or air distances (so that figures into one's expectations of how many participants may be expected), and more - my observations and others' (similar to mine and different than mine) are in this document and I am happy to share it with you. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Lastly, for those of you coming to the WOSonOS this month - I look forward to seeing the marvelous items you pack along in your suitcase to share: beautiful and interesting things from your countries and communities to sell to each other in the Global Village Marketplace and the Silent Auction to raise resources for 'Askers' who wish to come to future WOSonOSs, and tasty delights from your regions to add to the lovely dinner our wonderful Berlin Host Team is preparing (your 'International Suitcase Cuisine'). And I look forward to exploring our thoughts, experiences and ideas in the WOSonOS sessions. My deep thanks to the WOSonOS Host Team for all their hard work preparing for a lovely event (and helping everyone with housing, registration, and more) - and I shall see some of you in just a few weeks...</DIV>
