Gulu, Uganda Open Space - Day 1

February 19, 2007 at 8:04 am | In humanize |

This post was typed on 27Feb, but back-dated to appear on its day of the conference.

The bus from Kampala to Gulu was scheduled to leave at 8am. We actually got underway between 8:30-9am with more than 50 people on board.
We arrived in Gulu around 2pm, I think. By the time we got through lunch and I was making the time-schedule, it seemed unlikely that we’d get a full session in after the opening and before evening news today, so I just made the schedule say we’d start the opening at 3 and the first session at 3:30, thus giving me the opportunity to use Michael’s line, “When you get to your first session, it will be 3:30 for you.”
More than 60 topics were posted in 5 timeslots for days one and two. Since we had no walls, we used plywood as the agenda-wall. There were so many topics, I had to add pieces of wood twice during the agenda-setting.
In that one time-slot for this day, about 5 of the 11 or 12 posted sessions actually happened.
Evening news concluded with the bells being passed for each person to give one word about the day.

hey ted, great notes! so, with so many topics raised, what kind of record is kept of these, and are there any mechanisms to try and move those forward even though they may not have gotten much attention in the alloted time?

cheers,

lars

Lars, at some open spaces I’ve been to, the facilitator spent some time each day recording all the topics on the wall. I didn’t do this. Not sure if anyone else did, or even if any photos were taken of the wall. Would’ve been a good idea. I was fairly occupied running back to the guest house checking on Regula. Plus I was feeling fairly lazy. I dunno.
