Open Space meeting tonight - weird name, effective meetings for getting stuff done
Tonight we host another Open Space meeting, where YOU can help drive the transition:
Where: Hamilton Baptist Church Hall, Lindsay Street Opposite Gregson Park, Hamilton
When: 7:15PM till 9:15PM
Our monthly Open Space meetings are for people interested in helping to move Newcastle towards sustainability and resilience. Come and propose your own ideas, issues or projects and see if you can inspire others to help you, or contribute your ideas, time and/or skills to others.
Progress on existing projects will be briefly discussed, and then the meeting will be opened to new ideas, issues or projects, with time and space made available for groups of people interested in proposed topics to discuss them.
Open Space is an approach for hosting meetings and conferences focused on a specific and important purpose or task - but beginning without any formal agenda, beyond the overall purpose or theme. In a Transitition Newcastle Open Space meeting the overarching purpose is "moving Newcastle towards sustainability and resilience".
You can read more about Open Space, and see a video about it, here.
An old Indian saying: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”
Come along and get your toes in the water. (It feels great!)
Thanks for being a part of the transition!
