Hi everyone,

I'm passing this along for Mark Surman of Telecentres.org. Hope all of 
you are having an easier time getting to Tunis; my plane had to turn 
around to Boston because of smoke in the cabin and I probably won't get 
there until late Sunday night.... :-( ac

Hi all

With just a few days until WSIS and the Telecentre Leaders Forum 
workshop, we wanted to write to you with a quick update.

As you know, the idea behind the workshop is to connect telecentre 
practitioners and networks so that they share stories, learn what others 
are working on and imagine collaborative projects together. An updated 
description of the event is online at: 
http://wsis.telecentre.org/telecentre-org-at-wsis/telecentre-leaders-forum-agenda

Of course, we're not just running a workshop - we're also holding 
blogging training sessions, social events, presentations in the IDRC 
sandbox and social events. You can find out about all these activities 
at http://wsis.telecentre.org/event

We particularly want to highlight our 'telecentre moveable feast' social 
events - on Tuesday night at the Dar el-jeld restaurant (open to all!) 
and on Thursday at Restaurant Latina (joint dinner with TakingITGlobal, 
open to all but please RSVP to 'sfiset at idrc.ca' as space is very limited).

Also very cool will be the online storytelling and blogging coaching 
that Kate Raynes-Goldie (our web site editor) and Claire Bure. These 
sessions are from 9 to 10am in the IDRC booth every day of the Summit 
(from the 15 to the 19th). Please join us.

While in Tunis, some telecentre.org TLF organizers will have local 
Tunisian mobile phone numbers, so feel free to contact us if you need to:

Claire Buré.................(216) 20 240 342
Meddie Mayanja..........(216) 20 240 343
Mark Surman..............(216) 20 555 586
Sarah Fiset.................(216) 20 555 592

Best wishes and see you soon ...

The telecentre.org team!

PS. Please feel free to forward to others you think would be interested.
