For anyone who is interested, here's a link to a recent update on the Campaign to End Child Servitude (in Haiti) which Beyond Borders is a part of. http://www.beyondborders.net/BB-Mail/2006-03/Madame-Marcel.htm While this update does not mention Open Space, there are pictures of people writing and proposing subjects. The fact is, this dynamic campaign was born during an open space meeting that my colleagues and I organized years ago in Port-au-Prince and open space continues to be the favorite tool as my colleagues work to build the Campaign. I don't have time to translate the regular reports from open space meetings with groups, communties, organizations, etc that my colleagues are doing toward ending the practice of child servitude. It's somehow invisible like so many social evils. Every Haitian knows about child servitude and most have witnessed horrific abuses. Yet, it's tabou to talk about. But, thanks to invitation and open space, it's being talked about in corners throughout Haiti. And this public discourse is healing and it's helping the campaign to gain momentum. john http://circlesofchange.com participatory learning & leadership in Haiti http://johnengle.net Open Space facilitation email: j...@johnengle.net telephone: 202-236-6532 P.O.
