″Open Space Technology is a process…that allows organizations, groups and communities to operate with high levels of dialogue, passion and commitment. It allows leadership and structure to emerge, stimulates meaningful planning and initiates inspired performance. In short, it strips away all that is non-essential and invites people to operate in Open Space.″

- Chris Corrigan, Open Space Facilitator

Student ReflectionStudent Reflection How did you like open space? This activity was one of my

favorites that we have done in this class. It really let people speak their minds about the topics. It was interesting with the groups and open discussion. I think the fact that we all had a choice is what made it better.

Did you learn anything today? Today I actually did learn quite a bit. It not only taught just info or facts, but also how to think differently, and get out of the box. It taught me different ways of looking at Economics and Credit.

How did you connect with the concepts? Economics and Credit impacts were the key concepts covered. Another concept was to figure out new ideas and overlapping them with our old ideas and knowledge to come up with better ideas.
