Dear Doris,
in all of the ost events I was involved in actions were on the
initiative of the participants, including the action of folks getting
together to get funds for a project.
In fact, I experienced several ost events in which "experts" were
invited. In all those events the experts did not want to be the first to
post issues or hold a workshop. And as issues were posted they found
those more interesting to them than to enter into the role of expert.
Everybody learned and as usual actions were agreed upon... this was
especially the case in 3 day events (one afternoon, one day, and one
morning for action planning... 16 hours, 2 nights sleep over 3 days). In
one event for the banking sector in Denmark three participants found
each other and fouded a new enterprise during the event.
So. to me, it was the regular perception of ost events.
And, of course, I had nothing to do myself except working hard on
holding back and be enchanted by the force of selforganisation.
In the planning events before the ost event which I always insisted on,
the scope of "who all should be part of this to make our dreams come
true" was expanded. What would happen if potential funding folks were
also invited, from foundations...
See you in Berlin next month at the WOSonOS23 where I hope that sponsors
of ost events will also come and participants of ost events... that
would enhance our perception...
Take care

Dear everyone,
A client of mine is using OST in order to bring together researchers
from across different fields in order to develop a research program
with regard to the climate transition. Some actions developed will
simply be on people's own initiatives. Others will be able to use what
they are learning to form a group to put forward a funding proposal.
I am curious if in the history of Open Space there have been
similar such projects? And if so if there are any stories or
experiences that people would be willing to share?
It seems to me that in my long time in the background on this list, I
must have seen something similar, but I just can't remember.
Thanks so much for any thoughts,
With gratitude and appreciation,
Doris
