Dear Michael, dear John Thank you for this tip. I could not get the site downloaded until now. That's also part of 3rd world realities.
I just extracted the text which John Engle had posted 12-16-2001 01:04 PM at Michael Herman's site http://www.globalchicago.net/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000007.html as part of my now ongoing 'ORAL OS design solution's collection': S4: "To make sure that people clearly understood, four of us performed a 3 minute skit demonstrating the four principles and one law in action. People liked it and clearly grasped the skits message." S5:"People wishing to lead discussions were invited to stand where they were, articulate their subject, and remain standing." S6:"Eddy then asked them to all stand in a row and to once again, one after another, state their theme." S7:"He opened the market place indicating that everyone should go talk with those standing, decide what subject interested them, go find a place and discuss the topic, then reconvene in our large circle at 11:30" S8:"At 11:30 the group reconvened, and Eddy opened it by saying, 'We have 45 minutes to talk about whatever you all think we need to talk about.' People expressed openly a combination of discussion summaries and general reflections. S9:"Then, Eddy had us repeat the process, inviting those interested in proposing a subject to stand and state it. Within 15 minutes - 12:30 - four separate groups had formed and discussions were underway once again." S10:"Everyone reconvened for a hardy lunch enriched by a convivial ambiance from 1:30 to 2:30. S11:"From 2:30 to 3:00 summaries of discussions were given followed by the talking stick exercise using Tibetan chimes." S12:"Final remarks during the closing circle leave us with little doubt that this process is going to be replicated and improved upon" S13: Michael Herman's integration: "opening the space without props" first half or whole hour: --opening briefing: theme, principles, law of two feet --propose topics: stand up, say your topic, get in line, repeat all topics down the line next two hours: --first round discussions: invite all to talk to the conveners (standing) find out which topic you want to start with find a place to have the discussion reconvene for half hour and report the essentials next two hours: --invite more topics to stand, speak and line up... repeat down the line and invite all to begin next round of discussions... reconvene to report the essentials --eat lunch along the way, where and whenever it fits in. ----- [email protected] 17.09.2002 at 14:19:53 (GMT/UT + 02:00) 1) attached to this e-mail : No file 2) All attached files are mentioned by name in the lines above.Please do not open any other attachment! 3) Please send text documents in RichTextFormat/*.rtf, if possible.
