Dear Romy and you others on the LIST,
now that the geography has been put in order again, here is the www for
the work John Engle does in Haiti
https://haitipartners.org/
In the earlier days of Haiti Partners, John attended WOSonOSes several
times and had folks from Haiti attend, too. In the meantime loads of
folks from Haiti "trained" in ost... all of that was woven into the
community development and educational projects in Haiti.
Have a look at their website, its an example of what happens in one of
the poorest countries of the world, permanently stricken with natural
disasters and political turmoil.
Greetings from Berlin

PS: Romy: I often remember the "ost-training" I attended in Roffey Park
that you and the Man with the Hat gave, back in 1996. It was my first
encounter with ost at age 56 then. It did revolutionize my working life
and more... and keeps on doing so as I keep enchanting myself with the
forces of selforganisation. Hugs,mmp.

Eric,
Open Space has been used for /many/ decades in Hawaii - directly with
the community and in running the amazing organisation that has been
running the most extraordinary education and other community support.
John Engle is the absolutely amazing human who has made all this happen.
So sorry to John… I’ve forgotten the name of his organisation in Hawaii.
There are so many people who will know - including Harrison. I can ask
others if needed.

Aloha all,
I’m looking for references to a similar situation (more below) where OS
was the contributing factor of success, in particular to communicate to
government and community leaders here why OS will get the results they need.
The context is the community engagement piece of recovery efforts from
the 2018 volcano eruption in Hawaii. I’m consulting with the County
Recovery Manager, who has been convening other types of gatherings much
of this year. Now that disaster relief funding is closer to being on the
ground, the County wants to convene a larger, multi-sector event, to
encourage development of community-based recovery actions. The County is
also planning to have a Disaster Recovery Fund setup, which would field
a competitive process for proposed projects, some of which may have
convened in the larger event and decided there to collaborate on a proposal.
As with other parts of the recovery effort, this event would be under
public scrutiny. It may be the largest event they’ve held, and County
leadership is worried of perceptions and actual results coming from the
event. In other words, there may be tendencies to have more control over
the design/outcome of the day, in which case OS wouldn’t be the chosen
organizing framework, but something else they’re more at ease with or
accustomed to. I do believe, however, those community-based recovery
actions are what they want most.
Do you have links or references to similar public sector gatherings
using OS, under scrutiny, and producing anticipated results satisfactory
to government and community, that I might share with County leadership?
Mahalo!
