Open Space Technology is based on the principles of self-coaching: participants put together their own programme through work sessions. Open Space has been used before at official work conferences and congresses of fellow workers who discuss what really concerns them in various simultaneous sessions.
They explore new approaches and possibilities or try to formulate new answers to old questions. This is based on the principle that people are perfectly able themselves to develop and work out themes that are relevant to them, instead of experts pre-arranging this for them.
Furthermore, Open Space is capable of bringing together large numbers of people with various backgrounds to share visions, ideas, creativity and actions, resulting in a collective and motivating happening.
