<div dir="ltr">Dear friends and colleagues,<div>Doris and Anna Caroline are making a timely offer to join them in The Netherlands to learn about conflict, conflict resolution, and cross cultural conflict resolution. As Anna Caroline writes with her example, we teach that before assuming that the best first approach is conflict resolution, we advocate for having an OST meeting around a topic of real passion that people can get energized by....the topic is not about 'conflict or conflict resolution'. Often, the conflict, or what had been perceived as conflict, gets cleared up during the OST without any need of facilitation that addresses the conflict. Conflict resolution happens naturally in OST if people are really energized about the topic they are working on...and enough space/time is created for the natural flow.</div><div><br></div><div>We also like to use Whole Person Process Facilitation for the same purpose...a more guided approach than OST yet with maximum choice, maximum freedom provided. It seems that choice and freedom brings out the best in people.</div><div><br></div><div>So, why in the world did I create Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution as one of the modules of the Genuine Contact program? In the '90's I facilitated a lot of OST meetings. On occasion, an action plan would surface from a group of people who were in conflict within the bigger organization. They self identified that they were in conflict, that the conflict was causing harm, and that they needed help moving forward. The OST experience had brought this awareness and conclusion to the surface along with the desire to move beyond the conflict. And so, I chose to pull together a process that would be congruent with OST, yet guided sufficiently to assist such groups move past their conflict.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't use this method often...yet, when it is needed and requested by a group of people, it has been a great process to help people along who are stuck. Works great in families too.</div><div><br></div><div>Blessings,</div><div>Birgitt</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 8:14 AM Anna Caroline Türk via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Dear Open Space Lovers! <div><br></div><div>Open Space is so great because it works in complex situation, even when there is high conflict in the room.</div><div>My all-time favourite example is the Open Space Technology meeting with 100 Imams & 100 Rabbis Harrison facilitating, and Michael, Yaari, Dominik, Susanne, Daniel, (???) and myself supported in Sevilla in 2006. </div><div><br></div><div>The theme of the Open Space was: "Imams and Rabbis for Peace” - I assumed there would be a lot of conflict in the room (and I think there was) but this did not stop the participants from dancing, being creative and joining actions.
