Message text written by OSLIST >Hi Romi' Good to hear from you again Aproppo 'providing information' I will be very glad to learn what ever happened with that client I referred to you. Was there an OS, how was it?
(sorry but I do not have your address, my computer address book was erased and I am rebuilding it) cheers Tova averbuch Israel [email protected]< xxxxxxxx Tova brilliant to hear from you............ Apologies for not letting you know the story before... the contact at LSE led to a totally wonderful organisation called Trafford Hall (www.traffordhall.com) who create trainings for people from low income communities. I find them truly inspiring. They have asked me to put together a two-day training which will enable folks from communities with tensions between black/ethnic minorities and white people, to "break down the barriers". The idea is to use a wide range of tools and methodologies (including OST), to help them engage during the two-day event itself and also to give the people tools to be able to continue the work together after they return home. We are also talking of follow-up events + how to signpost them to further training (eg. engaging in more depth with OST). I am thrilled with the opportunity of working with these people. I visited them in Chester (N. Wales) and have outlined what a two-day training might look like. Right now they are looking for funding for the training, which they would like to run at the end of the year (and potentially at other times too). thanks so much for this link Tova... and forgive my apparently being out of touch with my beloved Open Space world..... and thank you for the unbelievably inspiring work that you are doing all the very best for now Romy PS you always have a place to stay if you visit London. Ask Harrison about "Shovelton Towers" PPS this is an open acknowledgement and huge "thank you" (which can never be huge enough) to HARRISON for your ever present support and overflowing generosity. You have lead me recently to some other great work - for Ordnance Survey (the map people here in the UK). A chap called Howard Bentley (Purple Works), who has much experience of OST himself, contacted you for ideas of other facilitators - needing a change of face for the client. I did a two day (OS for the OS) recently. The client is great. They were so thrilled with the result that at the end they said to me "we'd like to pay you the original fee you mentioned, not the one we negotiated" !! How lucky I am. The key thing for me tho' was doing great work with a client of great intention. Thanks again Harrison. I may not be very visible at the mo', and the heart is always there. * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
