Dear NCCs and ESG members,

The next NCC meeting will take place from the 6-8 of December in Budapest. The call for nominations for NCCs goes out this week. Just like the last meeting it will be open for INGYOs who can send their application with a letter of recommendation to the secretariat@alldifferent-allequal.info until the 23 October. In order to organize the meeting as powerful and useful and action-based and outreaching and pleasant ;-) as possible for all of us, I invite you to discuss the structure of the meeting beforehand with me. I will start the discussion with the following reflections:

General ideas:
1.    In order to have good information flow and a good exchange I think as many members of the secretariat as possible should be present during the whole meeting as well as in the different workshops.
2.    The NCCs are invited to take the meeting as their forum and decide on its content and priorities. Let me know if you want to offer a workshop on a certain topic or if you want to do a presentation (music, film, pp, theatre) and I will try to coordinate it.
3.    I think some plenary sessions are necessary for a general discussion, but most of the time should be spend in working groups and/or workshops that should be organised by the participants. I think it would be good to agree on some of the topics of the working groups beforehand, that saves time. Nonetheless I don't want to set up a completely fixed agenda, there should be enough flexibility and space to deal with issues that come up during the meeting.

It could look like this:

6th plenary session: general introduction, information on behalf of the Secretariat
7th morning:
2-3 hours
3-4 parallel working groups with your presentations (including pp, visuals etc) on Campaign activities and visuals in the countries
Afterwards short reporting in plenary

7th afternoon:
3 hours
3-4 new parallel working groups and/or workshops (different from the ones in the morning) on different topics like:
- How to campaign with little money?
- How to reach out to certain target groups?
- How to face challenges (like conflicts between different groups involved)? Etc
- How to attract media attention?

evening:  :-)  :-) ;-) ;-) :-)  :-) ;-) ;-) :-)  :-) ;-) ;-) :-)  :-) ;-) ;-) :-)  :-) ;-) ;-) :-)  :-) ;-) ;-)

8th morning: plenary session with short reports from the working groups, final discussion on the focus for 2007.
