Yaari -- Totally wonderful!! Count me in for $500(US) and this is just the sort of thing that the World Bank should be (and I think will) support. Brian has some contacts -- and I probably do too. But from up here in foggy Maine -- it is a little hard to see. By the way -- if we could get the OSI/US to "launder" the money it would be tax free for me and others who MUST contribute. Peggy H. Where are you?

June 21.-27. 2009, 45 youth worker, 13 from Germany, Austria and Poland, 32 from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania (find a short report and some pictures here: http://ostuganda09.wordpress.com/ ) Still overwhelmed by the high energy and beauty of the training, still slightly exhausted from the rough ride and still culture-shocked finding ourselves back to Europe we are pushing forward. It happened by chance that a colleague dropped out for a workshop in Tanzania in September. Dominik is jumping in and this was when the idea of a learning exchange emerged. The plan is to run two learning exchanges with pax from the training in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Kampala, Uganda completed by local youth workers which were not able to attend the training. we expect about 35 participants to join each exchange. The designs for these learning exchanges so far is a planning-session, open space, action-planning all run by former local trainees. Accompanied and supported during the exchange and consultation and evaluation afterwards by the two of us. The aim is to deepen the experiences that were gathered throughout the training, to share experiences with open space after the training, to focus on local challenges of running an open space meeting and to strengthen the local open space network. So good so far ... we need money! We are able to cover 40% of the expenses already. At the moment we are in contact with foundations and already won the local host in Kampala to take part and to provide the place of venue for free. Our travelling is covered through the workshop which will take place anyhow. We are kindly asking you and your organizations and your institutes to donate money or support us with any kind of advice or support. We would need about 4.000 EUR (= 5.600 USD) to cover the travel costs, accommodation of the local pax and material for the two learning exchanges. If you need further information about how to donate money or how to support us, please don't hesitate to contact us directly (Yaari: yaari[at]bg5.de or Dominik isis-berlin[at]gmx.de) From Berlin with love yaari and dominik * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
