In complex situations success often requires a combination of doing things and of stopping things. The stopping part is often ignored because it is so hard for people to stop.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'>If you sense that this may be relevant to your situation you may want to take a look at the Liberating Structures called TRIZ; here is the link to its description on the website </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:SV'><a href="http://www.liberatingstructures.com/6-making-space-with-triz/"><span lang=EN-US style='color:blue'>http://www.liberatingstructures.com/6-making-space-with-triz/</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'>At the other end of the spectrum you may want to take a look at 25/10 as a way to surface bold ideas: </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:SV'><a href="http://www.liberatingstructures.com/12-2510-crowd-sourcing/"><span lang=EN-US style='color:blue'>http://www.liberatingstructures.com/12-2510-crowd-sourcing/</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'>If you need to make an assessment of everything that is now going on maybe the Ecocycle would be helpful: </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:SV'><a href="http://www.liberatingstructures.com/31-ecocycle-planning/"><span lang=EN-US style='color:blue'>http://www.liberatingstructures.com/31-ecocycle-planning/</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'>.

I have on extremely short notice been invited to facilitate an evening meeting on Tuesday. Yesterday we had a prep meeting where my sponsor understood that in order to start a sustainable development process more space is needed. So we agreed on having this 2,5 hours meeting then have 2 weeks in between and have another evening meeting then (I guess it will be somewhere in the range 2,5-3,5 hours). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US>It is a very important topic, </span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:SV'>The issue at hand is to find housing solutions to all the unaccompanied children that need housing quickly. Sweden received 35 000 unaccompanied children from mostly Afghanistan in 2015-16 – most of them are still waiting for decision regarding asylum! Many of them turn 18 this year or are considered to be 18 by the Migration authorities. This means the responsibility goes from the municipalities (where they have been living in housing with lots of staff and well taken care of) to the National Migration Office. In practice it means that they mostly have to move to another part of our country, in big complexes with many adult asylum seekers. To make a long story short, they desperately want to stay in school, with their friends etc. Many private homes are opened to let them stay and some other solution are in place, but far from enough solutions are available now so more and more kids end up in the streets...<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The calling question they identified yesterday is: How can we start a process to find creative solutions for housing with new and old “performers” (people/organizations who wish to contribute) in order to create the best possibilities for these young people?
