Title: Re: AW: "Power to the people" or/and "showing people, what they had said" (LONG!)
Lucas asks:
do "drawings" interfere with OST, are a powerful addition,
or it depends?  Is there a simple way to acquire the needed skills
*before* the event (a HOWTO would be nice!), so that some willing
participants may use those skills and effectively widen the circle of
participation after the OS event?

Has anyone tried to record the closing circle's voices and share that
with permision and anonimity?  Or is this idea just silly?

Dear Lucas,
 
since I took part in about a dozen OS making a visual record by handdrawn images (of curse including the closing circle's voices), sometimes paid, sometimes not, I came to the following conclusion:
 
participants like visual recording a lot. The like to see what they have said, and what happened in the other groups, and to have something to carry it home (there are several ways to organize that, most of them via digitalizing the drawings). And we know ways to teach participants how to visualize themselves in a simple way.
 
But OS facilitators seem to like it less. There is one facilitator, who continues to invite me, it is Ingrid Ebeling from northern Germany, who sees the advantage of visualization, while others don't. And I visualized a 4 days workshop of Birgitt Williams some weeks ago, who really liked our cooperation. But the others are concentrated on other themes.
 
So I think that visualizing OS is not a silly idea at all. But I have the feeling, that OS over the years got something like a closed system, not interested in the opening for example for the possibilities of visualization, and will stop to put energy into this field.
 
 
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards
