Dear Michael, That was really useful, thank you.
It is exactly my intention to open up an invitation to join us in the room, and not specify how they should engage once there, of course. And yes, I think you¹re right: we should have a conversation, and the students should reach out to whomever they want to invite into the space. Not only will that help them know that reaching out to people who might seem very distant isn¹t actually all that difficult, but it will also let the invitees know that they¹re chosen by the students, not by a random teacher! I think that¹s actually a much stronger invitation: more personal, somehow more flattering? Certainly more immediate. Which means my masterclass budget, whatever it may be, can be spent supporting the opening of space: at first, by Phelim (I hope), and then on materials, etc. We also hope to be able to teach the students how to open space, so they end up doing all of that themselves too. It¹s a really good idea to suggest printing things out, to those who want to impart specific knowledge. I don¹t want to block any offers of engagement, and sharing print-outs is a great way to embrace that too. Many thanks :-) Jen x Jenifer Toksvig www.acompletelossforwords.com The Copenhagen Interpretation www.thecopenhageninterpretation.co.uk _______________________________________________ OSList mailing list To post send emails to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] To subscribe or manage your subscription click below: http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org .
