What contribution can you make to visioning and creating a sustainable world?The Belfast Film Cafe has organised and will be hosting an Open Space event. If you are interested in visioning and creating a sustainable world then why not come along and explore what your contribution can be.
"Open Space conferences have no keynote speakers, no pre-announced schedules of workshops, no panel discussions, no organizational booths. Instead, sitting in a large circle, participants learn in the first hour how they are going to create their own conference. Almost before they realize it, they become each other's teachers and leaders."Any meeting that takes place depends on your passion for the topic and you taking responsibility to announce the topic meeting. You don’t need to be an expert, though experts are welcome. You may simply want to learn more and discuss the topic with others on the day. Open Space allows us to do that and create learning for ourselves and others.
Not long ago I did Open Space for an evening with 75 people, talking about the future of their county. They created fifteen substantial conversations about the issues they really care about and came back together to say it was one of the best meetings they ever had. The whole thing took three hours and all the notes are online for people to follow up. That's an example of what can happen in Open Space - Jeff Aitken
The Open Space event will be taking place on 31st March (Saturday) @ The Institute of Governance, University Road, Belfast between 10am - 5pm and will be a contribution based event.
