We at C2 are excited to invite you to the 4th Annual Open Space Day in Biel/Bienne! Different English-Speaking Professionals from all over Switzerland come together and share their ideas, knowledge, questions and experiences. Each year we’ve grown in size and inspiration! Throughout the day, there will be many ways to to connect, share and learn – during structured activities such as, workshops and groups, as well as during informal times, such as the breaks, lunch and end of the day Apero.
There will be two or three tracks of workshops running at the same time. One track will be more skill and practice based. The others will be more for sharing ideas and processes and building connections and collaborations. You are welcome to respectfully shift back and forth as it fits your needs.
Initial Activities being considered for during the Open Space Day include:
