Dear Anne-Béatrice Duparc,

who is interested in this evaluation?
Who is paying you for facilitating the 3-hour event?

How could those (having the passion and the responsibility) find out whether the open space approach is appropriate for contributing to their evaluation?

Going through these steps, you insure that the decision for open space is not yours but primarily that of the sponsor, the folks really in the know about their situation. If the sponsor feels comfortable with it the gathering has 95% of the support it needs.

Under the conditions above, the sponsor (or the group representing the sponsor) is able to come up with the necessary framework for an open space event (time, space, food....).

If in the process the sponsor finds that os it not an appropriate approach (the 5 prerequisites are not in place, the time is too short, etc.) you have made a contribution that the sponsor will not forget. In other situations where he is pretty sure that the os approach is the way to go you might get a call.

Greetings from Berlin

Hi everyone,

I was asked to facilitate an annual meeting (3 hours) which purpose is
the evaluation of a series of events taking place every years. The
evaluation concerns the organization of the events and the events
itself, in order to know what went well, what did not and have some
hints for the following season. The events are festival districts
sponsored by the city but mainly organized by volunteers with some
fundings of the city. They take place all around the city, with second
hand good sales, music, cultural events, food. They are very popular but
were downsized this year due to a diminished budget allocation.

I wonder if any of you has ever used OST for the purpose of making such
evaluations. I really would love to use OST in this context, but I am
not sure if it would bring the desired outcomes. Moreover an evening is
a really short amount of time for an OST...

Thanks for any hints,
