Jay: I have led 4 open space events specifically aimed at teens. One was with high school students who got the day off school to focus on their response to community issues. The others were with Church groups. One Anglican group of teens prepared input into a strategic planning process for the church in 2.5 day open space and made both video, artistic and computer record. I have been in conversation about an event for 600 teens from a church in summer 2000.
It works great with teens. They love it!!

They are very excited about it but are skeptical (isn't everyone?) that it will work with teens. They have asked me for cases, for articles, and for phone numbers of folks who have used it with teens. If you are willing and able, please post, or email to me: brief case summaries, phone numbers of contact persons, and/or references to written material to help me settle their jitters a bit. Thanks in advance for your help. Open Space would be GREAT for these folks. Best, Jay Jay W.
