Open Space has been used internationally since 1985 to bring people together to address challenging and important issues across diverse identities and hierarchies.
In Open Space, there are no assigned speakers, no predetermined outcomes: you will meet in small groups based on your passion and interest, and find the wisdom and connections you need to build stronger communities for children and families.
