Open Space Technology

Okay kiddo, let me explain open space technology in a way that’s easy for you to understand.

Sometimes, grown-ups want to work together to solve a problem or come up with new ideas. Open space technology is a way for them to do that.

It’s called “open space” because it’s different from the usual meetings grown-ups have. In open space technology, there are no set schedules or agendas. Instead, everyone who comes to the meeting gets to suggest what they want to talk about, and then they split into groups to discuss those topics.

It’s like when you and your friends want to play together. You might all have different ideas about what game to play, so you take turns suggesting ideas and then vote on which one to play.

Open space technology is a bit like that, but on a bigger scale. Grown-ups can use it to talk about really important things, like how to make their workplace better or how to help the community.

So even though open space technology sounds really different from regular meetings, it’s actually a way for grown-ups to have more fun and get more done!
