Open Your Mind :The Workshop Process

The workshop main subject is dealing with complexity in a changing world, particularly within the current crisis. Starting from the point of view of the attendees, facilitators will try to open other dimensions and help participants to discover another perspective on their experiences. For this reason the active participation and openness of the workshop attendees is key. They will be helped by the following process:

The first half day will be dedicated to build the group spirit and get acquainted to each other through short prompts that will be proposed by the facilitators.

Each participant will ask his/her question (s) and explain the issues that really matter for him/her and he/she is confronted with.

All together participants and facilitators will make an inventory of these issues and link them.
6 to 12 questions will be selected by the participants and handled during the afternoon of the first day in small groups. The goal is to help participants to “extract the added value” out of what looks like a complex and unsolvable problem.

During the morning of the second day we will explore the boundaries of the questions.

Finally in the afternoon of the second day we will share the outcomes. Amongst the outcomes workshop the conveners expect to see a personal transformation in the way to approach complexity and act on it differently.

In the evening of the first day an optional dinner will be organized to give participants another opportunity to continue the discussions.
