Hey Everyone.
Just a reminder about the Occupy Toronto Regrouping Weekend that will
be taking place this upcoming weekend.
We start with a group debrief on Friday. Then a report/discussion from
the various Occupy Toronto committees over Saturday afternoon.
Finally, Sunday will consist of a discussion on our decision making
system, and an "open space" visioning session.
Just a reminder that this weekend is primarily oriented towards those
people who have been directly involved in Occupy Toronto committees up
until now. Think of it as a weekend long "intercomittee meeting."
So, if you have been involved in Occupy Toronto committees, please try
to make it. It's important!
The location is 25 Cecil street, the steelworker's hall.
Schedule:
Friday
7:00-10:00 - Facilitated Debriefing Session. A facilitated group
activity session that will encourage individuals to identify group
strengths and weaknesses, and develop interpersonal relationships.
Saturday
12:00-4:00 Committees each take a turn debriefing. Every committee
interested in participating must come up with a short (10-15 minute)
presentation, and a 15 minute open discussion will follow each
committee's debrief
Sunday
12:00 - 2:45 Open, facilitated discussion on our decision making
process. Various decision making alternatives will be presented
followed by a group discussion.
3:00 - 6:00 Visioning Session using the Open Space method of
facilitation.
"Open Space Technology is a workshop design tool to use when
situations include a diverse group of people who must deal with
complex, and potentially conflicting material in innovative and
productive ways. It is a facilitation method in which people can
identify specific issues on a given topic, self-select into discussion
groups, and work with the issue with people also concerned with that
issue."
