So yesterday we gathered 40 organizations, and the topic the organizers come
with was: "Interaction of NPOs and local governments in building Civil
Society"
How do you think such a topic - a very general one - could be 'discussed' in
the OST.
Though I tryed while oppening to ask the question like: So, now we need to
find out why do we need to interact and what is Civil Society then...
I find that if you convert the statement to a questions, it all works
better. So -- What are the issues and opportunities...???
The fact that folks came up with a lot of stuff that seemed very general is
no problem, and actually I thought some of it was very particular. They
would go as deeply as they could. And should you find that there are some
issues which are no where near "action" I would think about another Open
Space but just on that issue. If they cared they will come.
