Regina bound
On my way to Regina to work with the Urban Aboriginal Strategy steering committee there. We’re running an Open Space for the community on Saturday preceded by a community development/hosting training on Friday. Still designing the training and using the basic structure of covering invitation, hosting and convergence/action/decision making. Can anyone suggest exercises that might be useful in the context of a day long training to explore skills around these three areas? I’m interested in trying new things to teach the importance of these areas of attention.
I’m looking forward to our Open Space. I was in Regina a year ago, when the windchill was -55 and we were talking about how people survived these temperatures on the prairies 400 years ago. If you were not a part of the group, you were dead. So depending on relationship and getting to a fire was a life or death situation. Amazing how easy it is to forget that when so many of our basic needs are covered.
