Description
Dear colleagues,
Come to a one-day workshop on Saturday May 30th to explore ways to foster relationships between NGO workers, historians, archivists and educators. A variety of experts will share ideas, comments and needs.
In the morning (from 9:30 to 12:30), we are hoping to:
-Explore concrete ways by which NGOs and development agencies can capture, preserve and share their rich histories.
-Strengthen and expand existing relationships and international networks of humanitarian history.
-Explore strategies and opportunities to maximize the collective work, to identify and reach interested audiences.
The afternoon (from 1:30 to 4:00) will focus on the development of specific approaches and next steps for reaching these goals: website, common classification system, newsletter, structure, events, common courses and research.
Lunch and refreshments will be served during the day.
- If you are interested or only able to join one part of the workshop, please tell us so in your registration message.
- If you would like to join us from a distance, please say so, and we can make the arrangement for videoconference.
