Ciao Valentina, Some weeks ago my wife and partner Dr. Marianna Stifel and me moved to Italy, with our cats and our studio. What we do? We make protocolli visuali in the fields of business and community work. We draw images by hand to foster information, communication and motivation wherever people meet. We work all over Europe, normally in German or English. We hope to develop our Italian so we will be able to use it as well.
We made visual protocolls in all kinds of meetings, and maybe in about a dozen OS . We think, that especially in open space people move around a lot and are happy to see afterwards, what everybody was talking about, not to speak about the advantages to use the images as support for every kind of continuation of the OS themes. We are curious to find out, if we can connect with other facilitators in Italy, and maybe also cooperate. Have a look at our website, if you like!

The open space community is growing in Italy, and as Michael has written following last year Harrison Owens' course in Florence we have started the openspaceword.org pages in Italian and a rather sleepy Italian ost mailing list on http://it.groups.yahoo.com/group/Open_Space_Italia and translated into italian Owen's brief users guide. 2. On 24, 25 and 26 of November 2005 Harrison Owen will make a PoP in Italy in Florence, the programme will be available at the beginning of September. 3. Several different consultancy groups and universities are working on this method developing interesting experiences in Torino, Napoli, Bolzano, Cagliari, Bologna, Venezia, Arezzo, Pistoia, Firenze, in the field of strategic planning, programming, gender issues, local agenda 21, urban planning, project management etc. I have plenty of materials (printed and on file) on this things that if you want I can send to you. Let me know if I can help you someway with your work. You can find my contact details at the end of this mail. I would like also, if possible, to know more about your OST practice. All the best ge Gerardo de Luzenberger Via A. Volta 12 - 20121 Milano 02 24126646 - mob: 329 328 13 43 x...@deluz.it - www.deluz.it -----Messaggio originale----- Da: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] Per conto di Valentina Bach Inviato: lunedì 22 agosto 2005 13.51 A: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Oggetto: OST in Italy? My name is Valentina Bach and I am the community service coordinator in a very special international school, the United World College of the Adriatic in Italy, Trieste. The mission of the school is to promote international understanding and peace by bringing together students from conflict countries. Every student admitted has full scholarship and must commit him/herself to do volunteer service once a week. In the last two years I have been reading all possible Open Space material and I tried to facilitate a session with 100 of our students on September 2004. The aim was to get new ideas about community service projects and initiatives. The results were excellent: around 10 new projects which have been carried out with commitment and dedication during the last academic year! I also work as a consultant for some Italian local governments and I have recently been asked to write a book on strategic planning which will be published by one of the main Italian editors. I would like to include a chapter on OST in my book, suggesting it is a very effective method for strategic planning. I read the succesful stories published in the website and I also found some cases of OST in Torino (Northen Italy) both in the provincial and city council. Do you know about other successful stories I could quote? I would like to help OST spreading in Italy, especially in the No-Profit sector. Our school is well known, especially in the north east as an organization that brings innovation and culture while working for peace. We would be very happy to host a Conference. With great appreciation for Harrison Owen and all of you in this list. Greetings from Italy.
