<DIV>Hello Christine!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your support and very interesting option! How long necessary for
these interviews? </DIV>
<DIV>In this context, I feel there isn´t enough time... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It´s a meeting convened by the Government within a Process of
Transformation of the System Educational that is generating a lot of anxiety,
dissatisfaction and opposition.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Directores, are invited to attend a meeting of 7 hours (not willingly),
Two hours with a presentation of information (much required) which will provide
answers to many of their “hot questions” and concerns, Then a time of questions.
And then they will be invited to a “participatory practice” new for all of
them... <U>An <STRONG>Open Space of 4 hours</STRONG> with two sessions of
45-minute each. plus documentation...</U></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The convening question is in process The topic is about...</DIV>
<DIV><EM>- How bring tranquility to our schools? facing anxiety and discomfort
that generates any change</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>- What are the best ways to bring quietness to our schools?</EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much for your contributions and warm wishes!</DIV>

Cecilia,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for bringing this question to our community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you just have one day in Open Space? What is the convening
question?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If there is enough time, I often begin such an event with Appreciative
Interviews prior to opening the space. My experience is that with a good
set of questions, people not only feel heard/acknowledged for what they bring to
the situation but they will also enter the open space focused on what they want
(passion and responsibility).<BR>

<DIV>Hello everybody!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I <STRONG>have a big challenge and I need your wisdom!</STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>The next next Thursday, I will be facilitating an OS, with a group of 190
Secondary School Principals. Is a highly controversial group in a very
politicised and complicated context... (ideal for open space isn't it?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But in my practice, I haven´t had the opportunity to meet with groups like
this...where there is much aggressiveness and the bonds of trust are very
damaged... </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to learn from your experience. and know what warning should I
take?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Some Context:</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>My client told me that there are very opposing groups. And in their regular
meetings (not in open space) there are people who start to scream and insult
boycotting all the meeting and not allowing the dialogue... If happen a
situation like that, at the beginning of the circle, which do you recommend to
do?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In addition to breathe, breathe and hold space... "confidence in people and
in the process"</DIV>
<DIV>In imagie that facing that hypothetical situation... It would be correct to
give them the space of listening, and then tell them that they can leave if they
are not comfortable there... Although it would be very important to stay to make
their contribution...</DIV>
<DIV>And then continue with those who want to follow...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What do you think about that? Which is your experience in similar
cases? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Grateful for your comments!</DIV>
<DIV>Warm greetings from the Argentine winter.</DIV>
