I have passed this along to Anna-Eva Lohe in Uppsala Sweden, who along with colleagues has been working with unemployed youth in that city. They did an Open Space in Novemeber, and seem poised to do more as a means for job development. Perhaps there could be some synergy? Anna's email is <anna-eva.l...@lohe.se>. I have suggested that she might like to join us on the listserve.
