My response is a bit belated because Harold already answered the question about 
the correct date. We did the street kids Open Space on October 31 and November 
1, 2004.

Hard to believe it was 19 years ago! It continues to inform what I believe is 
possible with Open Space. I wouldn’t have had the courage to try it if it 
hadn’t been for Michael Pannwitz speaking to the OS he and Harrison did in May 
2003 with 2,108 German psychiatrists who met for a day in Open Space as part of 
a four day congress for systems constellations. I found pictures:

One of the funny side stories was that Michael and company used balloons to 
mark the different breakout spaces. I made that suggestion to the folks I 
worked with in Colombia before I knew we were meeting on a school campus with 
lots of rooms. Still, we had lots of balloons floating around. You can see them 
in the pictures at the link Harold included below.  

One big difference between the Würzburg, Germany and Bogotá, Colombia Open 
Spaces was how sessions were announced is visible in the pictures. As people 
waited to announce their sessions in Germany, they were in a neat line.  The 
street kids looked like a mob around Andres, who held the mic.  In both cases, 
it was orderly but the image was sure different!



Like Harold, I wasn’t sure what you were asking about search tags Chris. 


I hope a good time was had by all who were in Berlin. Next year in Istanbul!

Peggy
