Isn’t it interesting. The same patterns appeared in Tiananmen Square, Tahrir Square… I rather suspect that it has nothing to do with “doing” open Space – but rather a confirmation that open space is a very natural (the?) natural way of being – when people share a common issue, possessing great complexity, multiple viewpoints (diversity), great passion and potential for conflict – and there is a real sense of urgency. Given those conditions it seems like folks must naturally form in circles, create bulletin boards, open the market place (of ideas) – and go to work. Nobody forces them. They just come. Guess it is the 5th Principle (Wherever it happens is the right place) in operation. J

As far as I can make out the process at Place de la République is Open Space - groups in circles on the ground, timings of sessions written up on cardboard signs with name of the subject. People are using the non-verbal code for agreeing/disagreeing etc. as the noise level makes it hard to hear anyone if you are standing up and not in the bigger circles. Anyone can organize, mobilize a group to action apparently - no obvious leaders or facilitators.

Anybody here on this list living in Paris, I'm curious what process overview and details the organizers are using?

"The plaza begins to fill around 5pm with circles of people standing and sitting, talking under cardboard signs to identify the theme of their discussion, including groups on economics, education, facilitation, feminism, housing and ecology."
