Hi everyone I just participated in another virtual open space experiment, with Nancy White community of practice, hosted by Birgit and Ruben, using Zoom see here : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zvHZYvA-4q2bxrxsYqI2CUa4h_bYXWfgXvEU5aEWSQE/edit# <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zvHZYvA-4q2bxrxsYqI2CUa4h_bYXWfgXvEU5aEWSQE/edit#>. if you are interested, you will find a link there to be informed of further experiments. it was a lot of fun, with the limit of 100 participants being reached within minutes. The plan was to use Zoom breakout sessions for co-hosts but due to Zoom particularities, it didn’t work, so we end up creating other Zoom rooms. Here are the links to the notes taken during the sessions I hosted about other open space experiments : session 1 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CDBIcEKtX6NaKZa1b4kziMrpIOPdo0Q5A2ss45mDtl8/[email protected]&ts=5e7917b8&actionButton=1> (in this one you’ll find links to documents presenting other online OST) session <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmIDe6YQTQTESNi-zNKS-WLwhRKDUu_Bv3KLkEshrbs/[email protected]&ts=5e7918bf&actionButton=1> 2 Looking forward to another experiment ;)

All in-person events and presentations now > “without audience” will be recorded and live streamed free. Many of the > in-person Agoras (gatherings) – about 80 around the world have been cancelled > or scaled down which will certainly shift the attention to virtual. Many of > our colleagues in the Open Space community were/are hosting Agoras where they > live: in Canada, Nashville, Spain, India and other places. > > Lucas Cioffi, founder of QiQo Chat and a great friend of Open Space, has > worked tirelessly to develop this virtual garden concept with input from our > friends and colleagues here and there, along the way. > > Luis Gallardo, Founder and President of Happiness, also an ardent supporter > of Open Space, came up with the idea of having a virtual garden setting for > this conversational intiative. Luis was at World Open Space in October and > he, with core members of his planning team, also attended the Peace and High > Performance gathering in New York. > > This is an excerpt of Luis’ message to a global community a few days ago as > their team continued to plan, adjust and respond to the needs and current > happenings. It is in the spirit of his heartfelt words that we are extending > this invitation to you. > > > Given the almost widespread alarm that is causing the spread of Coronavirus > throughout the world, we want to take a very special role, a role of hope in > view of fear, and the remembering that we are all responsible for the > decisions we make. > > This is the time when we need positive, calm and aware leadership. It is now > when we need to talk about stress, before trauma and after, the impact of > negative news on our behavior, the crippling effects of fear and anxiety and > its consequences. This is the time to contrast the facts, to learn from the > past and to build a future full of hope, because we know that isolation, > loneliness and depression are devastating to human beings. > > We have decided to take advantage of this alarm situation and the celebration > of The World Happiness Fest between March 16 and 22, 2020 to set an example > and remain the forum we are.
