[Open-education] Fwd: [OKFN-Local-Coord] Announcing our first regional mentoring and skill-share gathering (pilot)

Tue Sep 23 11:20:19 UTC 2014

Exciting stuff! Some of you in S.America may be interested.

"Activities at the event will include a mentoring brainstorming session, 
where we will discuss how and why mentoring is needed in the network, 
actual skill sharing sessions as well as some time dedicated to 
discussing how we continue to support and teach each other online after 
we return to our respective cities and countries. "

Dear community leads,

It's with great pleasure that we can announce an experiment next week, 
our first regional mentoring and skill-share gathering: To take place in 
Mexico next week!

This is an opportunity that has come up with very short notice, so we've 
jumped the gun and see this first instance as an experiment and an 
opportunity to learn about the need for mentoring and skill-sharing in 
our community.

As you probably know we've been separately discussing (with the 
mentoring committee of the international council) our overall global 
mentoring program, and this event will help us collect feedback to to 
start building that in the coming months.Â

If you have any inputs, please either join one of the Hangouts mentioned 
in the blog post - or simply get in touch with us on local at okfn.org 
<mailto:local at okfn.org>. We'd love to hear what you think.

-Christian, Katelyn & Neal
