1 -WHAT IS EXTENSION OF ISF ?

It is organizing the ISF event in order to include people who are not in Baghdad and want to participate in ISF 

 “humanly” (through invitation  of committee),

and inasmuch possible “technically” ( using internet video broadcast or video conferencing),

So, solidarity events/activities organized abroad  that are creating solidarity with Iraqis organizations, are a key dimension of extension of iSF.

Without use of internet, people abroad can , in those activities discuss issues related to situation in Iraq  

With use of internet, or phone,  Collective discussion can take place between groups that are in Baghdad and groups that are out of Baghdad

2 - WHAT TO EXPECT FROM EXTENSION OF ISF?

More contacts, more visibility, more debates, more solidarity, more cooperation

More memory  more notes more photos more videos

Not more spending for travel, no need to have big travel budget to cooperate with Iraqis organizations

5 WHAT CAN BE THE DIMENSION OF EXTENSION  in BAGHDAD EVENT ?

isfextension program buildup

5-1 OUTSIDE BAGHDAD

BEFORE BAGHDAD EVENT Solidarity activities before the event in September can ask video conference s from ISF comm

DURING BAGHDAD EVENT The number solidarity activities without connection with Baghdad is unlimited .

Some of them may request tele intervention from baghdad

This implies having  in baghdad a person and  a place  available for video conferencing

5-2 IN BAGHDAD

Let us suppose ISF is a social forum event with for instance a dimensioning of 50 activities

Dimensioning of extension is estimation of the proportion of activities in Baghdad  with various use of internet . 

20 activities can be recorded and enlarged  (if internet is good the limitation is the number of people

10 activities can be teleencounter activities ( a group video conferencing from abroad with a group in baghdad )

10 activities can be with personnal  intervention from abroad during activities ( one person video conferencing from abroad)

WHAT CAN THE INTERNATIONAL COMING TO BAGHDAD DO ABOUT EXTENSION

Internationals coming to Baghdad may be proposing tele encounters  activities with their respective home

They can be preparing this with extension team before they come to iraq

During the tele encounters  they can help the ISF extention team in baghdad

Internationals coming to Baghdad may be suggesting broadcast of activities held in baghdad

ISF extension team may do the broadcast and   they can be linking persons with their fellow people
