Congratulations, Kerry. Hi
As a contribution towards research and documentation of open space, Open Futures is pleased to announce that the story of a community event held in Nairn,the Scottish Highlands, on September 4, 2004 is included in SCOTLAND 2020, a book by DEMOS, the London based think tank. Launched last night in Edinburgh by George Reid, Presiding Officer, the Scottish Parliament before an audience of 120 invited guests, the open space event at Nairn was mentioned frequently. In fact, the book acknowledges that "Nairn Day was the defining event of the project (to look at Scotland's future in 2020.)" The book also states that "Nairn Day was an experiment in local democracy that focused on participation rather than consultation ... The fact that over 70 people turned out to a meeting with no real agenda and certainly no influence over decision-making is, we think, evidence of an appetite for deliberation over long-term issues." If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this book (£10.00, ISBN 1 84180 138 0)which includes a chapter on the Nairn event facilitated by Eddie Palmer and Maggie Havergal, you can order the book from DEMOS by emailing <he...@demos.co.uk> Cheers Kerry Napuk Open Futures Edinburgh www.openfutures.com * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist Esther Ewing The Change Alliance 330 East 38th St., Suite 53K New York, NY 10016, USA Telephone: 212-661-6024, Fax: 866-296-6712 Assisting organizations to build capability _www.changealliance.com_ (http://www.changealliance.com/) Certified Panoramic Feedback Distributor (360 instrument) _www.panoramicfeedback.com_ (http://www.panoramicfeedback.com/) Certified Kolbe Distributor: _www.kolbe.com_ (http://www.kolbe.com/) * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
