Dear colleagues in open space, my friend and colleague Bettina Lobenberg from Berlin will be in South Africa for three weeks: March 19 through 28 in Johannesburg, March 28 through April 3 in Durban and April 4 through 8 in Capetown. One of the three weeks she will attend a conference/training on issues of reconciliation. In Berlin, she has worked with various police departments on the issue of racial conflict, right wing activities. She and I have done open space work with a community organisation involved in issues of neighborhood economy, unemployment and citizen involvement in urban development projects.Most recently she has worked for the Berlin department of sanitation. She is very much interested in meeting open space people in South Africa, especially around the issue of reconciliation. So if there are any of you out there involved in that work please contact Bettina via email at lobenb...@snafu.de. Bettina will also attend the OSonOS VIII in Berlin in October and spread the word while in South Africa. Greetings from Berlin michael
