Resources for Participating

We have put together some resources to help guide participation and discussion convening in this Open Space Conference.

Tips for a Good Conversation

We ask that all participants and discussion conveners commit to the following practices:

  • Acknowledge one another as equals

  • Stay curious about each other

  • Recognize that we need each other’s help to become better listeners

  • Slow down so we have time to think and reflect

  • Remember that conversation is a natural way humans think together

  • Expect it to be messy at times

  • Take responsibility for our impact on others

  • WAIT (why am I talking or why am I (not) talking?)
