Hi Michael, <br>
<br>
in this particular case it was relatively easy. More than half of
the group speaks English fairly well. In addition, a local
colleague translated what I had to say in the beginning. I gave him
an audio file with a record of my intro one day prior the event. So,
he was semi familiar with the content. It worked pretty well. During
the event other people volunteered to translate what I had to say
during evening news and morning announcements. It was fun watching
the self organisation unfold. Principles and law had not been
translated into Persian. <br>
<br>
Cheers <br>
Jo<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Jo,
Please tell us more about how to facilitate an Open Space when the group is operating in another language. Is it as 'simple' as having a 'translator'? Did you find the four principles and one law translated smoothly into Persian?

Dear colleagues,
this is a little note from day 3 of an OST event in Kabul, Afghanistan. 40 people from the Afghan National Association for Adult Education (ANAFAE) from 6 provinces gathered to work on "Issues and Opportunities for the
Future of ANAFAE" and I have the privilege to facilitate this event. In total we have 8 break-out sessions spread over 3 days and day 4 for action planning. People posted 33 issues in the first morning. So far 12 reports were handed in. Yesterday during evening news people shared their surprise and a lot of excitement about the outcome of the event. As I write this there are 3 break-out sessions going on and I observe intense discussions and serious engagement in the groups. I guess this proofs again that it always works.
Greetings
Jo
P.S.
It is very easy for me to be detached from outcome since everything is
going on in Persian language ;-)
