BarCamp and Open Space training methods

“BarCamp” and “Open Space” are large-group methods used in groups with a large number of participants to

  • develop action plans,
  • exchange knowledge,
  • develop strategies

.

Difference between BarCamp and Open Space

The format “BarCamp” is especially suitable for the exchange of knowledge and experience. The setting of an “Open Space” conference additionally allows for the development of action plans and strategies.

Both methods are suitable for numbers of between 12 and 1000 people.

Details on the procedures can be obtained here:

Open Space method description Success factors for implementation

Typical questions

Many participants are wondering about the Open Space method and BarCamps:

  • How to ensure that all participants contribute their topics?
  • How can I make sure that everyone feels as comfortable as possible and that they experience the typical “BarCamp feeling”?
  • What should be considered during preparation and implementation?
  • Which infrastructure and “support systems” are needed on site?
  • In which cases is the method appropriate – and when would other methods be preferable?

Our BarCamp and Open Space trainings

In our BarCamp and Open Space trainings you learn

  • how to prepare the event well and plan it thoroughly
  • what needs to be considered regarding the invitation and during the planning phase
  • which individual steps make a BarCamp and what is of crucial importance in each phase
  • how to navigate the event confidently and how to provide the “common thread”
  • how to arm and prepare yourself well
  • how to deal well and confidently with unexpected situations (and yes, you can learnthat!)
  • … and what else there is to consider before you organise your first successful BarCamp event.

For whom is the training suitable?

The training is aimed at anyone who is interested in using the large-group format “BarCamp” and the very similar large-group method “Open Space”.

    • Answers and essential findings are visualized on a flip chart (>–> photo log)
  • Fields of application
    • When is this method appropriate, when not?
    • Similar methods
  • Variations
    • Which variation for what purpose

  • Transfer: development of a common schedule and “step by step” visualization of the planned event
    • Consolidation of the training content
    • Transfer against the background of a first “own” event
