I have seen people reject such help from others, especially with
considerable verve from folks that one might consider differentially
abled. One thing I have never seen is someone writing a thought for
someone else.
What happens regularly with younger children is that they will huddle
and discuss an issue that they want to put on the paper.
Considering the attempt to expand time and space for the force of
selforganistion to show up in an OST event more clearly accompanied with
some manifestation of selforganisation being the mode for participants I
wonder what the least controlling, least prescreptive... mode might be
for facilitation.
Regarding the offering of issues I tell people very shortly after I have
started my introduciton what I will invite them to later on... and I
actually go through all the steps (walking to the center, getting on the
floor, jotting down an issue, announcing it to the group, walking up to
the bulletin board and posting it)... and then continue with my
introduction. At the point of inviting for issues I have reduced my
words to almost zero but I do make an inviting gesture towards the center...

I wonder if there would be any difference in results between inviting
people to ask their neighbors to help, and inviting people to offer help
to their neighbors? I'm imagining something like, "When you grab a piece
of paper, you could also get one for someone else nearby. After you
write down what you've got in mind, see if you can write down a thought
for a neighbor also- let's get as many written as we can."

I often say something in the opening like "if it's difficult for you
to bend over or you think your handwriting is too bad, ask one of
your neighbors to help." This also gives an easy out to anyone who
may be illiterate. I think it also fosters a sense of camaraderie.
But it doesn't make it 100% as easy for someone with physical or
literacy problems to participate, so it may not be the best answer.
I really resist tables inside the circle, though. I've had to do
several events that way, and there is definitely a negative impact
on the energy in the room.

In the many OST's I've participated in or helped open myself, I've
encountered this complaint about having to bend over to pick up
the pens and the papers in only two instances. Both of which were
Universities. In both cases, the leading edge of the complaint
seemed to have to do with women's dresses, but I also heard
something about being "able" prejudiced.
The first University chose to put some tables outside the circle
with some papers and markers. The second one is thinking they will
wheel in a table after the opening into the center, which seems
energetically disruptive.
Have others encountered this? How did you deal with it?
Thanks!
