Easy-to-Read Network Conference 2009 This is a proposal concerning a conference gathering Easy-to-Read Network members from all countries. The Centre for Easy-to-Read in Stockholm is prepared to initiate and plan for a conference next autumn.
Perhaps we could have the conference in Milan in August – September 2009 in conjunction with the IFLA conference. (IFLA – International Federation of Library Associations.)
The Centre for Easy-to-Read is willing to be the primary organizer of the conference. The IFLA meeting in Milan is August 23 - 27, 2009. If we decide to locate our conference to Milan the idea is of course to adjust the dates to the IFLA meeting. The Easy-to-Read Network conference might be immediately before or after the IFLA meeting. Or maybe our meeting could be a satellite-meeting to the IFLA meeting.
The proposal is that we meet for about two days - perhaps starting in the evening day 1, work the whole of day 2 and end up by lunch day 3.There are quite a few issues for us to discuss.
We suggest an agenda including these issues:
- Agreement and formal body
- Network web site
- International definitons, standards, network-logo
- Guidelines
- Cooperation and partnership – ongoing projects, new ideas
- Funds – EU etc.
- Research – old and new topics, how to initiate new research
- New technology – how can easy-to-read benefit?
- Promotion - how can we promote easy-to-read and the network?
- Support of initiatives in new countries
We need to know if there is an interest in an Easy-to-Read Conference in August – September 2009.
1. Are you interested in attending the conference?
2. How many delegates would you send?
3. Any suggestions for the agenda?
4. Is Milan a good idea? Any other suggestions of location?
