3rd OPEN SPACE Learning Exchange event
Dear friends of Open Space,
As our community is expanding everywhere in Europe and in the world, we invite you for the third European Learning Exchange in Utrecht.
Welcome to all facilitators, organizations, sponsors, colleagues who use Open Space Technology as a wonderful way to help groups self-organize and solve their most important problems with passion and responsibility.
Let’s explore how we can best assist sponsors, organizations and ourselves to expand space and time for self-organization.
Utrecht, 20-22 November
Fee: only 150 € including VAT for the 2 days!

Would you like to share your knowledge and experience on participative processes and develop them further with other professionals? We’d like to invite you to join us in the spirit of Open Space. Contribute your own questions and ideas and think them through with colleagues. Together we know more and we can achieve more.
Many problems nowadays are caused by the illusion that we can manage things. We believe that we can solve the growing social and economic problems we face by managing things better. But doing more of the same, just gives more of the same. It’s really time to try a completely different way of looking at organizing stuff. Open Space and other unconference methods release the knowledge and energy of everybody and offer the opportunity to put that tremendous power to good use.
“Appreciation, common ground, and deep conversation: all appear in Open Space as natural, emergent phenomenon. Best of all the people believe they did it all by themselves. And they did! Further more they know at some deep level that they can do the same thing again – and will. That is true empowerment. It is not the method, the process, or the facilitator. It is the people. And I can go and take a nap knowing that they will do an infinitely better job no matter how hard I might work.” Harrison Owen to OSLIST, July 30, 2009
The third Open Space Learning Exchange in Utrecht, November 2013, offers the opportunity to discuss how to add value through participation. We will explore together how Open Space and other participative methods can lead to better and more sustainable changes in organizations and in society.
