Archdeacons & Deacon Directors Conferences  |  A3D

Open Space Notes
The goal of Open Space Technology is to create time and space for people to engage deeply and creatively around issues of concern to them. It’s an opportunity to invite people into conversation about things that didn’t make it on the agenda, or to explore things that did from perspectives most meaningful to participants. The process is driven by the passion and the interests of the individuals in the group.  For more information, visit openspaceworld.com/brief_history.
