Dear Agnieszka, Smallest I have experienced was with 4, I believe that as lf the issue at stake has enouigh energy, it works - and this is clearlily the case from what you describe. As an example, I once facilitated an event for the alumni network of a higher educational institution. All teaching staff and all alumni were invited, a big room and sufficient catering for everybody. Everybody turned out to be the chairwoman (who had invited) and five participants. So she was quite depressed and wanted to cancel. I said "the people are the right people", we'll have good discussions and a usefullmeeting, and she went along - and we had a good meeting, with a clear conclusion: the alumni organisation was ended. This was not the end of the story - thechair went to the rector to inform him, whereupon he said "our alumni association ? Our network of ambassadors in society ....?" What does the director of the alumni bureay say to this ? When he found out there in act wasn't an alumni bureau, let alone a director, he called an emergency meeting of the management, established an alumni bureau and started a capmaign. This is some years ago - I did learn to suggest to have participants register to avoid wasting all too much coffee and sandwiches - Greetings Gerard Open Space Institite Denmark isAgnieszka Maja Wawrzyniak via OSList skrev den 2014-10-06 08:13: > Hi :) > > Here's a question: Is 6 people enough to make an Open Space session? > > Next Saturday I'm going to facilitate a group that would benefit from > an OST (there's a conflict situation, no one knows the answer, people > who are extremely passionate are coming etc..)... > So far I have worked with much bigger groups but never tried it out > with such a small group...I'm eager to hear your opinions and ideas... > > Agnieszka > _______________________________________________ > 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 _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
