OPEN SPACE – ARTS FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION

What is Open Space?
‘The most useful part of the meeting was the discussion in the coffee break.' Have you ever felt like that after a meeting?

Open Space Technology works like one long coffee break. It's an unusual but highly effective way of getting people to work together because:

all participants are invited to define the agenda and convene a session on the issue they feel is important
participants are then free to choose the sessions they want to attend and contribute to
participants are passionate about the issues being discussed.

The Greece Open Space event took place in Athens between 23–25 May 2008. The theme of the event was Arts for Social Inclusion.

Delegates had the opportunity to:

discuss ways of being able to ensure that the arts and culture sector embraces all sections of society
be part of an international networking event – enabling participants to build networks of influence across the region and in the UK, and in their own area of professional interest
experience a unique and innovative method of working – Open Space Technology
be inspired by art relevant to the theme of social inclusion.

When: 23–25 May 2008

Where: Isadora & Raymond Duncan Dance Research Center, 34 Chrysafis & Dikearchou Street, Vyronas, 162 32 Athens
