URGENCI IVth INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCED: KOBE 2010!
February 18th to 22nd 2010, Urgenci’s IVth International Symposium will take place in
Kobe and the Kansai Area in Japan. This is the first time that Urgenci’s Symposium and General Assembly will be held outside Europe. This is indeed a major change, which should give us the opportunity to foster and strengthen the internationalization of our network. A detailed General Assembly Agenda will be sent out to all current members before Christmas.
The Urgenci International Symposium will include the following three main events:
1- An Organic Tour to the oldest and most representative Teikei will take place on Feb. 18th to 19th. This will definitely be the place to be for all those who want to go back to the source of the international LSPPC movement. The International Committee members will take part in some of the field visits programmed throughout the Organic Tour;
2- The International Symposium itself will be held Feb. 20th and 21st, in Kobe Gakuen University. There will be both plenary sessions and working groups on major LSPPC (Teikei/CSA/AMAP) –related issues. There will be numerous and much expected
”stories from the field” ;
3- The
Urgenci General Assembly will be held Feb. 22nd in Kobe Gakuen University. This day is the best moment for the members to
- a. Take part in the shaping of the Actions’ Programmes
- b. Discuss issues of governance
- c. Share their experience on fund-raising opportunities
- d. Influence the choice of Urgenci partners
During the General Assembly, a new International Committee will be elected.
This event is organized only every second year. As such it should be a moment when LSPPC actors from all over the world come together. So please do not hesitate to contact the Urgenci Secretariat or the organizers themselves if you would like your LSPPC/ network/ organization to participate: kobetaikai2010@gmail.com ou contact@urgenci.net.
