Brainstorming of ideas for upcoming NUX sessions
This session will be presented by Dina Salah from the University of York.
A modified form of Open Space, to reach interesting session ideas. Since the meeting is supposed to be self-organising, the facilitators put their energy not in running the meeting but creating a setting that gets everyone’s creative energy flowing.
