UnConference Practice Session: Engaging with Open Space Technology

Join us to come and learn about how the upcoming MNEA UnConference on Evaluation and Collective Care will work. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the underlying methodology that holds our UnConference format; Open Space Technology. You’ll also be better prepared to engage at the October 7th UnConference, bringing your own questions forward to the field to create a shared space, place, time and relationship with participants to explore and inquire around what matters when it comes to our theme of evaluation and collective care.

If you need any accommodations to participate, please let us know at least one week prior to the event. Thank you.
