Session Format Suggestion:
In the spirit of keeping LaidOffCamp an ad-hoc, self organized unconference - it may be beneficial to learn about and implement the methods of "Open Space Technology" (OST) meeting facilitation to LaidOffCamp - or at least incorporate some best practices.
Open Space Principles and The Law of Mobility & Responsibility:
Principles:
-
Whoever comes is the right person
-
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
-
Whenever it starts is the right time
-
When it’s over, it’s over
The Law of Mobility and Responsibility (aka The Law of Two Feet):
“If you are not learning or contributing where you are, find a place where you can learn or contribute.”
Here are some links that will offer more information on OST:
