This interactive Guide introduces first the
Open Space Technology (OST) or the Open Space methodology (chapter 1), a new method for hosting conferences, or ‘unconferences’ as they are sometimes referred to.
The Guide also introduces the World Café Method (WCM) (chapter 3), a structured conversational process with the intent of facilitating open discussion, linking ideas within a larger group structure to access the collective wisdom or “collective intelligence” in the room.
The two methodologies explored in this Guide seek to stimulate a critical thinking about the main project topics: urbanisation, active citizenship, sustainability and consumerism.
The Guide “Open Space Technology and World Cafe Method for Urban Sharing Lifestyles” has been developed under Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership for Adult Education
Project CREATUSE.
