It might be true, but possibly there have been some OS events also in Latvia. Last year, when HO conducted Practice of Peace training in Tartu, Estonia there was later in May OS training conducted by one Lithuanian trainer. So I guess something might have happened also between Estonia and Lithuania, it is in Latvia. At least, there was young lady from Latvia attending Michael Pannwitz OS training in Weimar last year, and she intended to get started. In Estonia OS is widening step-by-step. In March I conducted my first OS training and one third of attendants have started to open space themselves. Last week I opened space for regional development plan in South Estonia and it was a real outburst of enthusiasm by attendants. One local municipal director admitted in final circle, that he cannot understand how it happened, that he stayed at the event until end. Usually they leave in first two hours. But the law of two feets made him to stay - until there is something to learn or contribute, don't leave! Yesterday I got through two days OS about learning outdoors the whole curriculum from kindergartens to universities. Most radical action plan, which was proposed, was to end the compulsory education at all and to give the responsibility back to people themselves. My experience has been, that my flute is an excellent helper to open more space, when I feel that it is needed. It is marvellous experience to play flute in the way that you are perfectly present and totally invisible. Has anybody tried out opening more space with making music? With best greetings from Estonia, Mikk Sarv
