ANCAmembership https://padlet.com/ANCAmembership/yd2y3nrxq7bkmy36/wish/2697664622 ANCA often conducts Open Space meetings where participants are invited to introduce topics and facilitate the discussions. In Open Space, all participants collectively suggest and select session topics and work together to create a session schedule for the given time frame. Open Space recognizes both the talent in the room as well as the topics important to attendees.

We will use this virtual bulletin board in advance of the meeting to share ideas.

If you suggest a topic and it is chosen as a session, you will be asked to introduce the topic and facilitate the discussion among the participants. Again, the facilitator does not need to be perceived as the expert in the room, so you can simply start the conversation and engage accordingly.

This system allows you to co-create your experience, and provides the opportunity for you to be an active participant rather than a passive listener.
