Kári… I really shouldn’t do this… I am sure the Devil made me do this… But I just can’t help myself….
I can’t tell you how many times people have said to me something like – Well if OS is really as simple as you say, how can you possibly have a (1,2,3) day training program?? There is an answer, but not a simple one. Now…. You are pushing this to a whole new level… a whole degree program? You have to be kidding! I think it really could be worthwhile IF the program was NOT about facilitating Open Space – which can be done in a few minutes or less. Actually, I find that most of the time required goes to unlearning just about everything you ever learned about “facilitating.” The heart of the program could be (should be / my opinion) about learning to live (helping others learn) in a self organizing world. Lots of thinking. Lots new experiences – and definitely worth a year or so. A life time will do, barely. That could be fun and really beneficial!

There is an opportunity, an opening, an invitation to make something wonderful. What would a Master level University accredited training for Open Space Technology look like? I posted a session in the last NOSONOS in Sweden at Två Skyttlar with the title "10 ECTS" representing some 300 hours worth of training and studies on the topic. An idea was born in the session, and many signed up for it, that we should make a mentor program for the facilitation students in a course where they would do find their own sponsors and a theme, organize with the sponsors to invite to the event and document the proceedings, the student would facilitate the event and later review with the sponsors post-event. Naturally some compensation would be paid by the university to mentor for coaching the student with his first sponsored facilitation event in the program. The second idea was to invite other universities in the European Higher Education Area and possibly other places to co-create a full program of one years worth Masters diploma including the global mentor program and the many professional trainings that are happening all over. many universities where named, and it is exiting. This is an invitation to contact me or to reply with ideas or next steps or connection and suggestions. Best greetings Kári Gunnarsson Hringbraut 46, IS-101 Reykjavík, Iceland Phone (+354) 864 5189
