Agree Pernilla interesting observations and the true its also the power of self organization.
Joined a large rally today with 10 000 people welcoming refugees here in Göteborg self organized :) But I do think its time for other actions too. Many municipalities see integration for newly arrived as one of their main challenges and opportunities they dont have good tools to get to action. People seeking for asylum are kept waiting for loooong looooong times. There may be opportunities there to, maybe together with volunteers find ways to improve conditions I think there are many many more possibilities also for immigrants who have been here longer times. The society needs to open up to take this opportunity! . . Many other possible areas I think this is the time we have been preparing for We may be able to contribute in many ways, and I think OST can have an important role to play With love Thomas PS I started a Facebook group to collect and exchange ideas and to support each other Welcome if this inspires you to act https://www.facebook.com/groups/1619395168311942/ Från: OSList [mailto:[email protected]] För Hege Steinsland via OSList Skickat: den 9 september 2015 13:40 Till: Pernilla Luttropp <[email protected]>; World wide Open Space Technology email list <[email protected]> Ämne: Re: [OSList] CALL FOR ACTION Thnak you Pernila.

At the same time this is when the power of self organising is evident in so many places. People are walking, using their two feet, to Fort Europe, carrying nothing but a vision of a life. And in many cities they are greeted by people who bring whatever they have that could be of need; blankets, food, tickets, toys and they offer their homes, cars or whatever they have in order for the arrivals to take a next step. People just show up at the right places and do whatever is needed at the right time. No bulletin board, no walking the circle, no principles they are all just getting to work. And its absolutely beautiful, heart warming and heart breaking every time I join. So it seems to me that when something is urgent enough, we dont need the Technology. Just use your two feet to find the space where its all happening. But when this is no longer cool news for the media and the squeaks of everyday life and conflicts are seeping through, thats when we might need to sit in a circle and find our ways forward. I hope it takes some time before that. On my way to Cracow!

My next step here is to ask for a meeting with the people working with refuges in my municipality. I´ve talked to them about the opportunities in Open Space before, and I will check if NOW is THE RIGTH TIME for them to sponsor an Open Space meeting here to be abel to talk together, «prepare ourselves to be surprised», and also to start practicing Open Space - we might need it a lot in times to come. I´m glad you all are there - we are not alone in this!

Likely it is that what you have sparked will take root in Sweden and in other countries, among them being those represented by participants in person and virtually at the WOSonOS in Krakow shortly. Looking forward to seeing and being party to what emerges.

The current refugee crises in Europe/the World creates a question: HOW CAN WE DO THE MOST FROM THIS OPPORTUNITY? We are the people who have been preparing for these times, having received and nurtured the gift of Open Space Technology for many years. I have made a decision. I do have the passion and I am ready to take responsibility. I know that OST can bring out the best in people, so let's do it! My next step is to invite "Open Space people" in Sweden to explore what and how we can do. I call for action in other countries too.
