NW Justice Forum 2023 - Schedule at a Glance
Tuesday, June 20th
Open Space Event
Times TBD
Join us for an afternoon of Open Space Technology, where the agenda is created and managed by all who attend. This experience guarantees the conversations we have will be the ones we need the most!
Open Space meetings happen in circles. With a few simple logistical guidelines, participants are empowered to name and join the conversations they most want to have. This structure elevates topics that are urgent to the participants, promotes equality of voice and co-ownership of the experience. It has been used successfully to provide ah-ha’s, breakthroughs, community-building and fresh thinking for groups of a few people and a few thousand people. If you’ve ever been to a conference or training where the most valuable conversations happened at the coffee breaks, Open Space is designed to make those conversations the main event.
Please consider whether you can join us for this half-day Open Space kickoff to our Forum – form stronger interpersonal connections, spark new ideas, and grow your sense of belonging in this RJ community, leading into the two days of more traditional programming.
