The resulting report (library/task,cat_view/gid,70/) is now available in PDF form from our library. Some of the authors would also like to form an email discussion group (Arabic language) around the issue of domestic Violence and similar in the Middle East and North Africa. If you are interested, contact us (contact/) and we can link you up. (Alas we do not speak or write Arabic). text/html 1970-01-01T01:00:00+01:00 http://www.networklearning.org http://www.networklearning.org/home-page-editorial/all-together-now.html Dear Friends and Colleagues,The Networklearning website has been updated after a long period of behind-the-scenes redevelopment. It is now in a new format, Joomla! (http://www.joomla.org). This will allow us to be more up-to-date and interact better. (On the other hand if you find any problems using the new site let us know!)We have one major new manual, “How to Succeed in your Work (index.php?option=com_docman task=cat_view gid=68 Itemid=52)” by Bryan Walker, which brings together some powerful tools and ideas. As with most of our manuals, it is available in two formats, .doc (index.php?option=com_docman task=doc_details gid=98 Itemid=52) (Word) and .pdf (index.php?option=com_docman task=doc_details gid=99 Itemid=52) (Acrobat)And we have a new edition of “Interviewing and Counselling at the Grassroots (index.php?option=com_docman task=cat_view gid=45 Itemid=52)” with thanks to Billy Bbosa from Uganda who came up with a new section on Recognising helping people with disabilities Since an important part of networklearning's philosophy is Keep It Simple, we have started a series of Key Information Sheets (/index.php?option=com_docman task=cat_view gid=69 Itemid=52) (KIS) on a number of aspects related to NGO management skills. First up are “Networking” and Focus Group Discussions . Please give us your feedback on the usefulness of this type of information. We have some new sections on the site: a Gender section (index.php?option=com_content task=category sectionid=6 id=27 Itemid=55) in which you'll find many new links to the basics of gender as well as to gender aspects in various fields... a new Arabic page (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=20 Itemid=53) with links to four key manuals in Arabic of use to young NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa...We offer examples of Behaviour Change leaflets and games (/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=81 Itemid=125) to be used at the grassroots. (Does anyone else have useful, usable examples?)We now have a register (index.php?option=com_registration task=register) with networklearning. (It's also worth registering if you would like to be put on our mailing list to be kept informed of new manuals etc.) text/html 2008-01-28T23:56:49+01:00 http://www.networklearning.org http://www.networklearning.org/newsflash-home/sign-up-to-stay-informed.html A good way to keep up with important issues in your field is to sign up for digital newsletters (e-bulletins) from good information providers… text/html 2007-12-04T21:10:10+01:00 http://www.networklearning.org http://www.networklearning.org/newsflash-home/toolkit-of-free-and-open-source-software-for-ngos.html The Open Publishing edition of NGO-in-a-box is a toolkit of free and open source software, tutorials and guides for producing, publishing and distributing content.
