SWAD 2007

 

During the Executive meeting in Bern the European Executive discussed the possibility of having a global SWAD in 2007. For that we need to consider not having the same subjects that has been IFSW Europe focus of the SWAD over the last years, to have a representative of the Europe Executive on the team organised at the global level, to prepare the background paper, and to give member organisations the proper time to organise the activities.

 

However it is expected that a global theme will be chosen, in a similar way to the approach we have used in Europe, with briefing material.  Member organisations and regions will be able to interpret the theme according to their local needs and circumstances.

 

In order to be able to make a decision, the Executive decided to organise a workshop during the Delegates Meeting in Sofia on the details related to the global SWAD. The material resulting from the workshop will be used by the Executive in the discussion with the SWAD global team.

 

The Executive decided that the timetable for SWAD preparation is:

 

-         July 2006 – to have the information on the date of SWAD

-         September 2006 – to set the preparation team; The Executive will decide in Sofia the person from the Executive who will be the link person for SWAD.
