They can place all the dots on one issue or spread them out any way they want to. Once done, just look at the wall/issue papers, and wherever you find an issue paper covered with sticky dots you have(obviously) a hot issue. Usually somewhere between 2 and 6 issues stand out. Forget about “top 5.” If you are really industrious, you could count the dots – but frankly that is a real pain, and I don’t think you will learn anything (useful) you didn’t already know.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Harrison<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Harrison Owen<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>7808 River Falls Dr.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Potomac, MD 20854<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>USA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>189 Beaucaire Ave. (summer)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Camden, Maine 20854<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Phone 301-365-2093<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>(summer) 207-763-3261<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="www.openspaceworld.com%20"><span style='color:blue'>www.openspaceworld.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="www.ho-image.com%20"><span style='color:blue'>www.ho-image.com</span></a> (Personal Website)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D'>To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of OSLIST Go to:<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org"><span style='color:blue'>http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>"Meike Hübel | erziehungsweise e.

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 <a href="mailto:OSList@lists.openspacetech.org">OSList@lists.openspacetech.org</a><br>To unsubscribe send an 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><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif";color:black'>-----------------------------------------</span></span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif";color:black'><br><span class=apple-style-span>Meike Hübel • erziehungsweise e.V.</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>Münchener Straße 48 • 10779 Berlin • <a href="http://www.erziehungsweise.org">www.erziehungsweise.org</a></span><br><br><span class=apple-style-span>tel [+ 49.30] 301 047 92 • skype mariiike</span></span> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
