Following the ongoing communication after the training the idea came up to run a “follow up”. The concept is a learning exchange about open space on local level. The aim is to deepen the experiences that were gathered throughout the training, to share experiences with open space after the training, to focus on local challenges of running an open space meeting and to strengthen the local open space network.
- A two days learning exchange meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (September 2009)
- A two days learning exchange meeting in Kampala, Uganda (September 2009)
- A learning exchange meeting in Nairobi, Kenya (2010)
- A learning exchange meeting in Europe (2010)
The idea is to invite the local trainees from the open space training to both, facilitate and to participate in an open space with the theme: “open space – implementation and challenges of meetings that matter”. Additionally to the trainees local youth workers who were not able to take part in the training are invited. We calculate with approximately 30 people for each meeting.
At the moment we are urgently searching for funding for the two meetings that will take place in September 2009 to support the participation of as many participants as possible. We need the money for material, the place of venue, transport costs, accommodation and food for both meetings.
Day 1:
planning session, including the finalisation of the theme (afternoon)
setting up the open space (evening)
Day 2:
open space (all day)
Day 3:
action planning (morning)
consultation, questions and answers (afternoon)
The meeting will be supported by two of the former trainers and the possibility to use the “learning spaces”.
If you are interested to support the two open space learning exchange meetings in Tanzania and Uganda in September and to give colleagues the opportunity to take part or if you have questions or comments about the project, please ask Dominik (isis-berlin[at]gmx.de) or Yaari (yaari[at]bg.de).
