Dear Funda , You didn't mention that you did already an Open Space facilitation in Turkey this year at the 7th Global Leadership Forum together with me and Jan Secor and you could attract some of your friends to participate in it. Remember what Prof. Adel Safty said at the end? That we will start and finish with OST the next Global Leadership Forum in Istanbul, Turkey in June of 2006! Below is his invitation letter to this event . And even though it is not written yet directly that it will be an OST event - it definitely will be if you and other our colleagues will participate! Be prepared to be surprised: Open space is coming to Turkey! And we all can participate and make it as open as possible. I suppose to talk about it more in Berlin. Best wishes and love,

Arzu Akar at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> About the Global Leadership Forum q Professor Adel Safty, the founding UNESCO Leadership Chair, founded the Global Leadership Forum to promote a multidisciplinary and multicultural conception of leadership, when he was Head of UN Mission in Amman, and Director of the UNU Leadership Academy in the 1990s. q The Global Leadership Forum emphasises an inclusive approach to leadership in the public policy arena, the private sector, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, and in educational institutions. It seeks to promote Value Leadership by emphasising the interconnectedness of peace, democracy and development, on the one hand, and the relationship between human development and leadership in whatever field, on the other hand. q The GLF has been sponsored by the UN, the World Bank, the UNESCO, several governments, private sector corporations, and educational institutions including the university of Bahcesehir, and the Centre for Creative Leadership, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, and the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership, New York. q Over the years the GLF has brought together distinguished political leaders, senior representatives of inter-governmental organisations such as the UN and the World Bank, distinguished scholars of public policy and of management, corporate and business leaders, students, and representatives of various governments from all over the world.
