This is a Pre-Conference Event with a difference: in the world where change is the only constant, we are going to challenge the need to stick to things as they are and venture into the universe of the unplanned, where anything can happen.
The structure of Open Space Technology (OST), a leading edge conference methodology, enables people to work together on what is important to them, which is why it doesn’t have a preset programme.
After an introductory session dedicated to getting to know and developing a trusting working relationship with other members of the group, participants are going to suggest the content of the event by the real issues they would like to see addressed that day. You will come in and out of small groups talking about what interests you and working towards solutions through the strength of group intelligence.
This will give you a real chance to work on issues that are important to you, to dictate the content of the session and then build on it. We feel that participants will come out of the day with a clear idea of where they want to go in their teaching having spent a stimulating day with like-minded colleagues
This event, which will be facilitated by Andreja Hazabent Habe and Colin Mackenzie, is ideal for people who want something new from a conference, and also for those who would like to check to what a degree they take the traditional way of conferencing for granted.
