Hi All,<br><br>I have a question. I would love to come to WOSNOS and I have a big world cafe/open space, two day event called the Bath and North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit (see <a href="http://www.greenvisionmovement.org/youthsummit">www.greenvisionmovement.org/youthsummit</a>), which takes place on 15th/16th October. It brings together 150 young people from across the county to learn and engage in conversations which lead to action on climate change and other global issues that affect young people today. <br>
As I am organising this event I will need to be around on the Sunday beforehand getting ready and I also have two children and a partner who need support as I get closer to the event (and will be working longer hours). So my question is around whether I could bring my children to WOSNOS. Are there any other children going? I feel like if I came I would get so much out of it even with a big event looming.<br>
For me part of what I am looking to do in the future is design learning spaces for young people on the principles of World Cafe and Open space so bringing my children with me to events like this adds energy to that vision.<br>
<br>Can I also put out there that if there is anyone interested in the two day event who are doing similar things in the UK or around the world and would like to come and check it out then it would be a pleasure to have you.<br>
Thanks and please let me know if children are welcome and if anyone else is bringing any?<br><br>Jamie x<br><br><b><b><font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial">Jamie Colston</span></font></b></b>

A deep bow to you Lisa! A very deep bow indeed!!!<br><br>I have just now booked my flight and lodging from Florida. By combining the two, got a good rate -- I will be sharing a room which will make the trip even more joyous. Added a few days to see the historical and Olympic sights of London.<br>
<br>Thank you to the entire WOSonOS organizing Team. The <a href="http://invites.wosonos2012.com/" target="_blank">website </a>is so very beautiful -- artistic, inviting, most informative with welcoming butterflies and bumble bees dancing on the web pages. You can feel the magic of the event by clicking from one postcard link to the other. With another quick search, I was easily able to find information on bus costs, train transportation from the airport and everything. <br>
<br>I hope many in our OS worldwide community decide to make the trip. Or if not, consider making a small donation. By do so you will be supporting this important Open Space event while experiencing it at a distance either through postings on the OS list or the many summary reports capturing the amazing conversations that will happen there including ideas for action that will carry forward into our OS future.<br>
<br>My trip has already begun! Look forward to seeing everyone in October and yes of course, I will scribe when I get there knowing that my journalistic side will want to celebrate and share.<br><br>Hugs and sunshine from Florida (before Isaac the Hurricane man descends upon us),<br>
