Hi all'ya lovely people Reading the recent conversations on OSList my mind goes back to a conversation in a osonos event about a decade ago. It was about the call by some of the younger practitioners during the youth of Europe patronage of the approach for a more formal training that would be integrated with the formal education system, one that is focused more on the open space way of thinking One of the ideas presented was to find a few professors at various universities that could be invited to hoast a bachelor program, a general degree program, or something of that like, collectively. This would allow a carrier path and a research path to open up in the field. Some current brainstorming I am having about subject matters that could be a segway for a professors and their universities to engage withsuch a collectively international programme, I just put this here for inspiration. The nature of mind, intention, and collective cognition The study of societies and groups, how they function and change The study of how language shapes thought, action, and social reality The theory of interpretation and understanding The study of lived experience and consciousness The study of participants experience and co-created meaning in spaces The theory of how groups “exist” and act collectively The Philosophy of the nature of being, reality and existence How individuals and groups act, intend, and achieve outcomes ... Consider this an invitation to engage with me / us on furthering this conversation, if you are interested then feel invited to co-own and co-facititate this breakout session. Maybe you might feel resistance towards this project and thats fine too. Whatever happens... I put this up on our agenda wall. One a personal note. I wont be able to come to Kenya, unless somethings shifts as my current engagements take much of my time these days dealing with the space in the tension between the different local land commons and private land owners.
