Dear All, Thank you for you ears, thoughts and advice over the last couple of weeks. I really appreciate it. Just to let you know that I opened space on Tuesday. It began at 9.07 (rather than 9am when there were only 3 people there and I was extremely concerned!). However we had 16 students, 6 governors and a deputy head there for the full event (well deputy head had to leave at 11.15 to teach). We also had a further 3 teachers drop, 30 aspiring teachers from the local university who came to watch for 5 mins and ask questions and a trainee head teacher who dropped by. The head of the school joined us at the beginning (where he looked concerned) and at the end (when he thankfully heard a lot of extremely positive feedback and was therefore very happy). I held the whole space calmly allowing the craziness and the flow just to be and designed the ending process at about 10.30, about half way through the open space when I was struggling because I had none of the graphic facilitation team who were supposed to be helping with the event. I laugh now because truly it is funny how it all managed to come together and work. I love it because it just does! With love and gratitude
Jamie P.S If anyone is interested I am would love to work out how to build open space into the overall flow of the leadership development I am doing with the students. -- *Jamie Colston* Enabling young people to design inspiring events and host conversations that matter to them, empowering them to find their voice and take practical action towards creating a sustainable, peaceful and equitable world. * * *M: *07909 442006 *E: *[email protected]* * *FB/Linked In/Skype:* Jamie Colston *Twitter*: spearthwarrior *Nowhere ecl www.now-here.com/ecl* *Green Vision Movement www.greenvisionmovement.org* **** <http://www.bathamptoncsa.wordpress.com/>* *
