WOSonOS 2012: Do you want to be part of making it happen?

Saturday 7 May 11am – 6pm and Sunday 8 May 10am – 1pm
Odd Fellows Hall, Bristol (Full details below) 

Are you interested in Open Space Technology? Do you want to share and extend your Open Space skills?Would you like to connect to people in the UK and worldwide who are using Open Space in many different ways?
Do you want to join a community of people who are working towards the World Open Space on Open Space (WOSonOS) in the UK in 2012?

What is WOSonOS?WOSonOS is an unparalleled international gathering of Open Space practitioners who come together to share their wisdom and experience around group practice and self organisation.
It takes place once a year, each time in a different country in the world. 2012 will be the event’s 20th anniversary and the first time it will ever have taken place in the UK.

What is this event? Over the coming months Improbable, in collaboration with other people and organisations around the UK, will be holding a series of Open Space events to create a vision for WOSonOS 2012 and make decisions about how to implement that vision. We held our first of these last November in London. There was a great turn out and many enthusiastic discussions began.

Whether you attended this and want to come back for more, or whether this will be your first ever experience of Open Space, you are equally welcome to come to Bristol on May 7th and 8th for this next event.

As well as being the vehicle for planning WOSonOS these events are an opportunity for different people to gather and build a UK OS community of practitioners and participants, interested in forming a generous space in which to share ideas and learn from and support each other.

Many diverse people who work with OS come to WOSonOS with an attitude of generosity – sharing stories, swapping skills and creating new ideas and projects. If you are interested in being part of and contributing to the creation of this event please come to our next Open space in Bristol!

Hope to see you there,
