Dear Christine and dear Claudia, WOW - WOW - WOW .. thank you so much for the very impressive presetation of this amazing event! Wonderful how you involved the volunteers into this learning and facilitation process and how you combined Open Space Technology and The World Café for so many people.
CONGRATULATION! I like the beautiful images very much. Especially the huge "marketplace". And I like your poster "Be ready to be surprised" :) Warmly Gabriela ----- Original Message ----- From: Christine Whitney Sanchez To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 6:19 AM Subject: Report available - Girl Scout Open Space for over 1,600 & Strategy Cafes for thousands more Dear Friends, Claudia Haack and I are excited to share our report to the Girl Scouts of the USA on the "Open Strategic Conversations" capacity building project which culminated in large events at the Girl Scout National Convention - http://i.b5z.net/i/u/540396/i/GSUSAfinalreport06.ppt. Naturally, the Girl Scouts have given us their permission to share this with you. On October 7, 2005, an Open Space on Governance was held for more than 1600 delegates and over the following 3 days Strategy Cafés attracted over 3000 participants. These events were eagerly awaited by 100 volunteers - the core of the capacity building effort who we had trained in Open Space and World Cafe. They had self-organized for planning and implementation before, during and after the convention to become the logistics backbone for these events. The "Smooth Operators" as they called themselves, captured the spirit and imagination of what lies in the future for Girl Scouting and have gone on to facilitate many Open Space events and World Cafe conversations in their local Girl Scout councils and their communities at large. To see the proceedings, check out www.girlscouts.org/convention/conversationsummary.asp Many of you held the space with us for these events - for that we are deeply grateful. And a special thanks to Maria Ort (who has recently joined the OSlist) for bringing your skill and grace to the Design Team.
