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.<BR>

you mean - without taking the top 5 issues? just give them the dots?<BR>

A quick and dirty way -- and also probably effective -- would be the old<BR>
stand-by "Sticky Dots" Give 5 to each student and let them stick at will.<BR>
Guaranteed to be fun with not a few "stickies" going on the foreheads of<BR>
various people. Definitely not a precise measure -- But it will surely<BR>
indicate where the strong feeling are. And best of all the labor (yours)<BR>
involved is minimal. Just stand back and let them GO!<BR>

</FONT>Subject: [OSList] Ending a one day OST with 775?<BR>
<BR>
Dear collegues!<BR>
I very much enjoy the conversations on this list. But I haven¹t used it for<BR>
getting input myself until now. I'm looking forward to your wise thoughts on<BR>
my question.<BR>
<BR>
I¹ve been doing Open Space for over 10 years, some big and some small but<BR>
most of them for only one day. Right now I¹m 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 didn¹t 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 haven¹t done a big<BR>
group like this for a few years and since then I¹ve 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. I¹m not too worried about that, but I¹m 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>
