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'.
