<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Hi! Thanks for sharing and giving me a glimpse of how the Forum
ZFD event on the 3<sup>rd</sup>-5<sup>th</sup> of December would look like. I have
to say that I am not a licensed expert of OST (Open Space Technology) and I and
my local organization, Pailig Development Foundation, Inc. were just blessed to
have been trained by Atty. Franklin M. Quijano, one of the OST licensed experts
in the country. After our training, we have practically used OST in our strategic
planning, community dialogues, and consultations on the Bangsamoro Basic Law on
2014 where the consolidated results where hand-in to the BTC Chair then Mohaqer
Iqbal. As to experience in the Middle East, I only got the chance for 2 hours lay
over at Doha International Airport <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span>
and that would mean, I can’t fluently speak
any Arabic word except for a few common words such as shukran, “habibi” and the
Islamic praise “Allahu Akbar”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">On your 3 days event, it’s a great idea to bring together
your colleagues especially local partners and other organizations working on
community empowerment and mobilization with the purpose of learning from one
another’s experiences. I got the chance to experience the same purpose at the
Professional Exchange on Peace Pedagogy held recently at Zinzendorfhaus,
Neudientendorf, Germany early October this year. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Since you are considering OST as your process, are you
already familiar with its purpose and principles? In my experience, all the
things that you envision to happen in the event can be covered with the OST
process as long as the Theme of the event is clearly defined, and asking the
right/appropriate questions based on your theme. I would suggest that,
everybody should be oriented first with the OST before using it. For example,
on the first day in the morning you have the welcome address by
(host/organizers) and rationale of the event) followed by a creative
introduction of participants (can also include the expectation check), setting
of house rules, then a brief orientation on the OST purpose and principles. Once
everybody is on the same page on OST, the facilitator can apply the process
with the event’s theme and well-crafted questions. The most crucial part here is the formulation
of the theme and questions which would also stemmed from the goal and
objectives of the event like the coming together, learning from another’s
context /challenges /issues/motivations.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">I am willing to share with you what I learned and experience
on the OST the best I can, and Atty. Franklin can do more whom I cc’d in this
email and could probably refer you to his international contacts of OST
licensed practitioners who could speak Arabic.</span></p>

<p>Hi Jayshree, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>How are you? How is everything in the Philippines? Its
Miriam. We met during the facilitation meeting of
Zena-Gabrielle Hailu and the RFT in Palestine. I remember
that you once spoke about the "open space format" during the
facilitation workshop. It happens that my team is preparing
a conference with such a format. I was wondering if you know
any great facilitators specialized on open space? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Would be great hearing from you! We are grateful for any
help. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Best wishes from Beirut, <u></u><u></u></p>
