Dear Gerard I have some experience with this here in Denmark during ther last 5- 6 years...and have developed different approaches and variations for allowing children to participate on a peer to peer level in co creating their own educational future / schools.
I can mail you one the designs if you like. you are also welcome to call me to explore what could be a good way to go in the "foreplay" and the actual Open Space. it is fun and important work... my best greetings - toke tirsdag 6. maj 2003 kl. 10:14 skrev Gerard Muller:
Dear All, I have been asked to facilitate an Open Space for a school. The theme will be: "What school do we want to have in the future, and how do we create it ?" When discussing who should participate, the conclusion at this moment is the Board, the schools staff, parents, children and a couple of others who have a say about or expertise in this. My question is about the children. This school has children from 6-16 years old. The preparation group I am working with feels the older classes could participate. I expect also the younger ones would just do fine - except that probably they will not be given a choice to participate or not - parents who want to join the meeting will just take them along so as to not have to pay for someone to look after them. Anyone else has any experience with this ?
