But I havenıt used it for<br>getting input myself until now. I'm looking forward to your wise thoughts on<br>my question.<br><br>Iıve been doing Open Space for over 10 years, some big and some small but<br>most of them for only one day. Right now Iım planning a one day Open Space<br>at a school with 775 students, 16-18 years, teachers and politicians. The<br>pre-group, with mostly students, decided on the theme ³What do you want to<br>change in our municipality?² (I tried to argue for develop/expand instead of<br>change, but they didnıt want to develop all the bad things...).<br>I might add that the politicians are really excited about this and they have<br>decided to return to the school within 2 months with feedback on the issues<br>that involves their work.<br><br>My question is how to end this Open Space the best way. I havenıt done a big<br>group like this for a few years and since then Iıve changed some things -<br>³one less thing to do². I used to do prioritizing with dots in big groups<br>but lately I just give space for reflections or invite for action planning,<br>depending on the group.<br><br>The pre-group was worried that the 1st-graders would be too shy to announce<br>their issue in the microphone. Iım not too worried about that, but Iım not<br>sure that inviting for action planning is a good idea. It might just be the<br>³known voices² of the school that steps up (that would probably change if<br>the Open Space went on for two days).<br><br>My gut feeling now is to do prioritizing, call out the top 5 issues, let<br>everybody say one word each in the microphone and then end it with the<br>turn-around-and-take-thenext-step. That will probably only take one hour<br>(young people are usually fast). What do you think?<br><br>This is the schedule for now:<br>8:30 Introduction and creating the wall<br>9:30 Session 1<br>10.40 Session 2<br>11:45-13.15 Lunch (not negotiable time)<br>13:15 Session 3<br>14:20 Coffee break, time for finishing report and getting back in the circle<br>14:45 ???<br>16.15 Ending time<br><br>Rainy greetings from Sweden and Stockholm!<br>Pernilla Luttropp<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OSList mailing list<br>To post send emails to <a href="mailto:OSList@lists.openspacetech.org">OSList@lists.openspacetech.org</a> To unsubscribe send an<br>email to <a href="mailto:OSList-leave@lists.openspacetech.org">OSList-leave@lists.openspacetech.org</a><br>To subscribe or manage your subscription click below:<br><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org">http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OSList mailing list<br>To post send emails to OSList@lists.openspacetech.org<br>To unsubscribe send an email to OSList-leave@lists.openspacetech.org<br>To subscribe or manage your subscription click below:<br>http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
