Dear listmembers and all your experience I would love to take part of your experience and knowledge about working with OS in countries operated by dictatorship. A closed space, where you are used/allowed to think as The party. "Its a lovely country as long as you follow the rules"
For example I had a training course with a group working in the authorities and governmental bodies (national and regional level), and they listed some of the problems in one area. After they were encouraged to brainstorm ideas and solutions on the problems. After the task I asked - what was the new ideas and insight you got? New?! We repeated what the party already have decided"... so it was more a memory test :) An other exampel: in the university where I met the students study a Human rights course sponsered by another country. They said: "its a good course. Why I asked and the answer was: we are allowed to ask questions when we don't understand, you know sometimes you read a text in the book and you don't understand and it doesnot help to read it many times, here we can ask, and we are also allowed to discuss. So my question - how is Open Space working in this circumstances? How you know people that think freely are not punished after? WIsh you all a lovley week Ulrika -- Ulrika Eklund Bergsgatan 7A SE-112 23 Stockholm Sweden mobile +46-(0)70-699 86 12 -- _______________________________________________ OSList mailing list To post send emails to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] To subscribe or manage your subscription click below: http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org .
