- SEPARATIONS FOR CLARITY It is recommended to clearly separate, at the time of recording, local expanded activities in local language (which can be focused on local educational issues and an occasion to foster linkages between local organizations), and the moments of video encounters with groups in Palestine , or moments of remote participation in activities held in Palestine extended via instant video & messaging
- EXTENDING YOUR ACTIVITY When you register an activity there is a line that asks
"Do you wish your activity to be transmitted as streaming live with a chat room on the WEF website: Yes / No"
Specifically, this means asking whether your local activities will be extended via instant video site as www.ustream.tv . and instant messaging as ww;skype.com. by their organizers (i-e ....you!) ... - ACCUMULATED EXPERIENCE Both distance encounters (with www.skype.com) and extension via instant video and messaging, experience os social forum expanded since 2008 will be a great help for expanded activities
