Dear Elder,
you got yourself an amazing contract there!
Regarding your third * my experience is that nothing is required after
the intial introduction. People arriving after the introduction just
seem to be able to phase in by whatever process... mostly, I assume,
because it is just "natural" and there are other people around showing you.
Regarding your fifth * I think you might want to do what the sponsor
suggests. If he/she wants a bilingual intro make sure you get paid for
that extra service and do it. If it is just your idea, caution is in
order. If everybody knows Spanish....why....or put differently, I dont
feel myself responsible for what happens but for supporting the
framework in which the forces of selforganisation might flourish...
without being attached to a particular outcome.
And since an intro in one language is shorter a lot speaks for that
version... people getting to do their thing sooner!
I would like to see the mind map!!
See you in Sardinia in May of next year
cheers

EUTOKIA is a place for what is called social innovation supported by the
Bilbao Council. It's being inaugurated starting tomorrow and finishing
with a half day Open Space event I was invited to facilitate just last
Monday: 3D BURUMAPA.
The conditions have been quite special. Some points about it:
* The invitation was already made. Even if the sponsors and their
invitation embody the OS spirit, I suggested some changes that we
are going to introduce in the signals in the room.
* They insisted that they don't want to ask people to confirm
attendance, as it may be a bit as "forcing".
* They asked me, so to think how to make it really easy to get
introduced in the job for people coming at whatever time (the
attendance is supposed to be something like this: 20 people at 4,
20 more at 5, 20 more at 6, maybe 40 more between 6 and 8 and many
people leaving in between). I thought about some lines to hand out
to facilitate a quick understanding of OS.
* Taking notes and the final report may happen, but the sponsors
challenge (that I accepted) was to integrate every idea and note
during the event in one big Mind Map.
* I'll open space in both Basque and Spanish to encourage
conversations taking place in both (everybody coming know Spanish,
but I'm sure that different languages would form different groups
and give birth to more diverse ideas), so I'll be trying to be as
short as possible in the introduciton message. That's why I'm very
interested about the answers to Artur's last message (OST
following a creative enhacing training) that I repost here:
"....Anyhow the main facilitator/trainer of the previous day made me a
suggestion that I would like to have your opinions about. The suggestion
was based in the way they have done their trainings in the past
(explaining everything in the beginning) and the way they do now
(explaining only what is needed for each phase). So the suggestion was
to divide the opening in two parts: the first one with a bit of history
and the presentation of the timetable with no Agenda and then ask for
session topics; and then explain the principles, law and animals and go
on to the Market Place." ...
I have some opinions about this, but I prefer to give them later. At
this moment I would like to know if anyone has ever tried this two-steps
type of opening and with what results. If not (and considering the
context I have mentioned of the previous one day training) what do you
think about the suggestion I have received?..."
If you know about anyone near Bilbao that might be interested in OS,
forward this piece of info, please, and our invitation to join us in
the consp!ration.
Thanks for your support,
Eleder
pd: I recently moved from Bilbao to Mundaka, a small town on the coast,
much more inspiring for waver riders, sure :-)!
