Hello Thomas 0ne of my colleagues had a similar experience and they just all sat on the floor and it worked well if not ideally however it was youth not sure about the demographics of your group. I have done a standing opening and closing circle for a WPPF meeting when the room space did not accommodate a circle of chairs. We actually moved outside to a large deck so we could do that and people really enjoyed the different body disposition especially when there was much sitting the rest of the day.
So, a combination of sitting and standing use the chairs to create the circle and have people stand around it seems like a good possible solution . Michelle From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Herrmann Sent: April-05-11 6:29 PM To: OS LIST Subject: [OSList] Large group small main room Hi friends in Open Space I have a challenge coming on. A group want to use OST for a meeting, they have booked a space and expect maybe 100 participants. The challenge is that the main room if we cant be outside which you normally know the day before or so even if its late summer thats how it is in Sweden Well, the main room is about 10*10 meters which is too little BUT I want to give it a go (they cannot change location, they say). There is lots of space for break outs and maybe maybe we can even find another solution for the main circles the dining area if we can find somewhere else to dine/or break the circle during lunch might be another solution. Anyhow I will have to go and explore different opportunities . Hmmm seems I find some possible solutions while writing Anyhow, my question is has anyone any experiences of a similar situation, where people are really crammed in the main room. I am thinking about inviting those who can, to stand during the opening, and maybe give 60 persons a chair in two circles which gives a little space at the agenda wall A little more chaos than normal, but it should work Or have cushions as an inner circle ? So, any experiences, ideas or just some cheering would be appreciated Great to be in this new space with you!
