<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>If you wanted to have people bring a theme, I'd have them read the users guide before the training and then come to the training with heir own questions. Your training OST theme then could be something like: diving into Open Space...where am I stretched and how can you help? That way you cate a community of learners right out of the gate that is ale to help each other go into the inquiry.</div><div><br></div><div>Chris<br><br>---<div>CHRIS CORRIGAN</div><div><a href="http://www.chriscorrigan.com">http://www.chriscorrigan.com</a></div><div>+1 604 947 9236</div></div><div><br>On 2013-02-03, at 2:41 AM, Andrew Rixon <<a href="mailto:andrew@babelfishgroup.com">andrew@babelfishgroup.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi all<br>
<br>Viv Mcwaters and I are offering some Open Space training here in<br>
Melbourne in February. We're carrying on a tradition that Fr Brian<br>
Bainbridge and Viv developed where we open space as a tag team - one of<br>
us doing the opening and stopping at various points, and the other<br>
discussing with the group what's been happening and pulling it apart,<br>
unearthing the rationale. Works a treat.<br>
<br>
We like to use a nice meaty theme for this part of the training as we<br>
get people to actually create an agenda and have an experience of some<br>
short open space sessions.<br>
<br>
We'd like your suggestions for a theme for this demo open space<br>
(remembering that it's a training). Many of the participants will<br>
already have some training in facilitation (and will have some<br>
unlearning to do :) some will never have experienced open space, but<br>
probably are familiar with other forms of 'unconferencing'. Here's<br>
what we've come up with so far.<br>
<br>
Opening up and letting go: the issues and opportunities<br>
<br>
The joys and challenges of facilitating open space<br>
<br>
Any other suggestions/ideas?<br>
<br>Looking forward to hearing...<div><br></div><div>Warm regards,</div><div>Andrew (& Viv!)<span></span><br>
