Hi Lucas. I'm appreciating your fertile creative mind on the list.
I'm also seeking into a somewhat related question to ask our list. What's a
design that supports people to inquire together into the practice of democracy?
While also supporting embodied practice of the basic capacities of democracy?
My answer is OS plus deep reflection on some specific capacities and practices
for participating in (and hosting) OS.
It seems related, in my assumption that the way to learn OS is to be in OS. And
that there are simple and robust frameworks to support a systematic reflection
on our skills and capacities. I'm partial these days to the "fourfold practice"
in the art of hosting.
A game? I've long loved a phrase of Harrison's describing OS: "high learning,
high play, primacy of spirit, and genuine community." Sounds like a great game
to me. I look forward to what you find.
Jeff

Subject: [OSList] The Online Game for Learning Open Space
Hi All,
I'm grappling with a design for a game. The purpose of the game would be for
us to teach each other Open Space using our own experiences and our different
perspectives. I believe that it's possible for us to transmit our knowledge
and experience by interacting through stories and games, but I don't have the
design finalized just yet. So I call upon the list!
Open question: How would you design a game for teaching OS?
I look forward to seeing everyone's answers to that question; I'll try to
actually built any of the suggested games that I can. Here's the direction I'm
headed so far. I'm looking for exciting ways to combine 1) online flashcards
with 2) online, small-group audio/video discussion. Here are the components
I've built but haven't integrated them into a unified game concept yet:
1. A fun online flashcards app (please check it out!) which builds upon on the
great work of the Group Works Pattern Language Project (a very dedicated and
talented group of facilitators behind that project, by the way-- several of
them are probably on this list).
2. A tool for members of an online community to schedule highly interactive
breakout sessions on any topic, drawing inspiration from OST.
This game will be one of the apps available for the Dialogue Community of
Practice on QiqoChat. The community is free for a year for the first 100
members, and $5/month thereafter. There are 28 slots remaining as of today. I
hope you are interested in joining us there, and I look forward to hearing
everyone's responses.
