Genetic Engineering and genetic modification

I've been asked to facilitate a consultation event on the implementation of New Zealand's approach to issues surrounding genetic engineering and genetic modification. I'm using open space at the first event. It will have anywhere between 200 - 400 people attending, a mix of environmentalists, sc

Non-ideal rooms any ideas?

Doris-- As to putting up the topics, have you access to Avery "Write-On Cling Sheets"--Avery product number 24394? They are plastic that uses static electricity to cling to walls and glass. The only problem is if there is a heat or air conditioning duct that blows directly on them--then they will

Re: Non-ideal rooms any ideas?

Doris, You can use Metaplan/PinWand sets. In the Netherlands you can buy/hire them by the Neuland company: www.neuland.nl. My own sets are really overbooked; so when is this? Regards Rob -Original Message- From: Doris Gottlieb [mailto:dlgottl...@chello.nl] Sent: zat

"It always works" - revisited again

Hello all: 1. We have commented a lot of times that "It always works". And we have even discussed repeatedly "why" it works. But I would like to suggest (again) a broader perspective. Starting with the most obvious questions: What is the "It" that always works? And what does "works" mean? 2. Try

For Doris; for Annie; about Engle

Doris and all, If it's not too late, try these... 1. Use a portion of the floor for a wall. Mark it off with tape (last resort, but I bet it works). 2. Run a LONG piece of banner paper between two sturdy easels. (You should find such rolls in widths of four feet or five feet, in lengths up to

Re: Genetic Engineering and genetic modification

was wondering if any one else have stories of using open space either on this issue or in relation to complex scientific issues. Your help and stories would be gratefully received. Thanks Anne Hi Anne: I recently led an OST event with Colorectal Cancer Researchers, Patient advocates and policy

Re: "It always works" - revisited again

Dear Artur ~ For me, the "it always works" aspect of OST is the only possible outcome from any OST, not because of any particular "positive" or "negative" effect, but because during the time the OST is taking place, the group operates by proper principles, principles that honor the inherent wisdom

Re: Genetic Engineering and genetic modification

Anne, There's actually a story about an OS at Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, conducted by Anne Stadler some years ago. The Hutch is on of the few cancer facilities in the world with strong programs in the 3 major research disciplines (epidemiology, clinical and laboratory; I think I re

Re: "It always works" - revisited again

Julie -- Yup, amen. Circular or at least self-fulfilling ("Even if no one in the room accepts the invitation to be fully present, the fact that the invitation was made is sufficient for me to feel it "worked.") and brilliant. By the way, Artur, to your request and question: > I would like very
