­Dear friends ,  from palestinian organizations participating in WEF, 

Dear Guests coming from other countries to organize activities in Palestine on occasion of WEF ,

 

We are now one month before WEF and  over 120 self organized activities   have been registered! 

You are now preparing them. So  the basic dynamics of social forum are on track !

We can now focus on an important dimension of WEF palestine forum : WEF expanded focusing on DISTANCE INTERCOMMUNICATION through use of internet

As WEF organzing committee, we  invite  you  to make distance intercommunication during or apart from your activities  ( see concrete steps  in the linked document  - or below our message  )

WEF, as you know, is a world social forum on education organized by palestinians with events in  various palestinian areas,  and also

and an

  • invitation to inter communicate through  notion of  INTERLINK   ( distance encounter  between two groups ) AND EXTENSION of Palestine activities on internet  ( allowing distance participation in activities )

A "wef expanded team" is available to support you in preparing your distance intercommunications   , contact :  wef-expanded-team@wef-palestine.org

We expect that we will be many that will answer the two invitations below

 

Sharing our Best wishes for success of WEF expanded , which depends greatly  on our capacity for good preparation and communication  among us  participants in WEF 

WEF Organizing Comittee

                 distance encounter by video meeting  -                    distance participation to an activity in palestine by web video streaming and chatting on line

Answering proposals for LIVE INTERCOMMUNICATION WITH REST OF THE WORLD

Indeed, out of 120 activities  35 are EXPANDED  activities outside palestine areas, in 10 countries of the world , Australia, Bangladesh , Brazil, France, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Morroco, Portugal, Senegal , UK, .....

 

In many cases, the groups who are proposing them , are proposing DISTANCE ENCOUNTER activities with you, palestinians groups ,  and also  are proposing you to participate from palestine to their activities,  or  are eager to participate from a distance  to your activities held in Palestine , inasmuch you in Palestine  EXTEND  our acitvities in internet  ( see below)

In many  cases,  they, who made the first step towards us,  need to find  rapidly counterparts among us ,  and start interacting in order  prepare together those moments of distance intercommunication

 WE INVITE EACH OF YOU TO  answer those proposal of intercommunication 

 

 

Making proposals for LIVE INTERCOMMUNICATION IN/ FROM  PALESTINE

Distance intercommunication , either  through distance encounter or distance participation to an activity elsewhere,   is  also a potential desire BETWEEN GROUPS HOLDING ACTIVITIES IN VARIOUS AREAS WITH PALESTINIAN POPULAITON  i-e Lebanon, Gaza, Palestine 48, West Bank

Also guests in Palestine, may organize moments of encounters or distance participation  WITH GROUPS  IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY

So this INTERLINK and EXTEND  intercommunication  needs to  be proposed  and concretized ,

INTERLINK  through distance encounter  , can happen either during , or, also , apart from your  currently scheduled activities in the various venues of WEF, 

Making it apart  from your activity moment is a good option , that takes pressure off the activity organizers: at one moment they concentrate on face to face dynamics and at another moment they concentrate on distance encounter   

There needs to be rooms dedicated full day to distance encounters in the various wef venues

INTERLINK  can even   be permanent  such with the idea of Palestine Hall

We invite you to  consider  EXTENDING YOUR ACTIVITY ON INTERNET  and thus ALLOW  DISTANCE PARTICIPATION TO IT 

EXTENDing your activity can be made in a non intrusive way,  including itself smoothly in the face to face dynamics of your activity  

It requires two persons  from your organisation  ( one webcamperson, and one connectant person )  with laptops using simple to use websites,  and
The earlier you announce in advance extension of your activity in your own networks - giving a "skype public contact" , the more interested people will gather around the connectant person before the start of the activity  

 

WE INVITE EACH OF YOU TO express on this list  your intention to  propose  palestinian INTERLINK or  propose  internet EXTENSION of your activity
