Pre-Conference Open Space Learning Workshop

We are delighted to welcome Lisa Heft to London in the days before WOSonOS to teach an OS learning workshop. If you are new to OS or want support on what you already know we highly recommend attending this. Here is Lisa's invitation:

Together you will explore issues and opportunities in your own work groups, experience an Open Space, and really delve into all those elements of pre-work that can support the success of an Open Space event.

Everything from developing a theme to exploring invitation and outreach, design, planning, materials, how the site, food and other elements impact or enhance an Open Space event, why/ why not to hybridise this particular method, how to include action planning if appropriate, "what-ifs", "when not to"s, participant driven forms of documentation, suggestions for the sustainability of ideas, relationships and actions post-event, and more....
