I call my workshops Open Space Learning Workshops - because we are always learning, from one another.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I feel that -implying- that one needs to earn a certificate in order to be able to do Open Space reduces universal access and inclusion. </span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It would mean that you have to get somewhere specific, pay something specific and somehow be measured or approved or complete something in order to facilitate Open Space.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">However I have found that in some cultures and countries people really need to show official-looking paperwork and documentation. In those cases, upon request, I will create a custom-made certificate for someone with whatever they feel is useful on there. More like a certificate of having taken a course than a certificate of mastery, for example. Because I feel that Open Space - like life - is lifelong learning - learning from each other at all levels rather than a 'mastery' situation.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I also feel strongly that anyone who wishes to come to a workshop to learn Open Space should be able to, regardless of level of income - it's the access thing.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(155, 44, 1); "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So for my own workshops I offer several levels of pricing including a pay-whatever-is-the-most-that-you-can price set by the learner. I also locate the workshops where there are public transit options, super-low-cost accommodation, and more - so learners with lower financial abilities can feel as much ease coming to a learning experience as the others.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
