Here are some images from my work in unconferencing. They evoke the spirit and practice of creating, facilitating and participating in an unconference.
The circle – a place of emergent possibility
Participants ready to create the agenda
Unconferences have space to be informal
We can unconference in cafes, not just conference rooms!
We once held unconference breakouts in boats on a lake in Slovenia…
A space to share what we are truly restless about
Getting down to action…
The energy of the group conversations
Sharing ideas and experiences…
Creating our own agenda
Groups can be small or large…
We met in a theatre space at the Edinburgh Fringe
Intense huddles…
A participant announces a session
Yours truly…
Insights into actions…
Choosing sessions
The purpose of facilitation is to disappear…
“Take a Nap!” Harrison Owen, creator of Open Space
The circle awaits…
Participants choose topics they are passionate about
Transforming the board room into an unconference space
Circles within circles to open space for a real conversation
Unconferencing begins in childhood and gets lost as we grow up into hierarchies
We find our conversation opening up in the circle
