Hi there thanks so much to Darine, Stephanie, JOSA, CC Qatar and everybody else who has volunteered for this project, it looks like a great idea! would be awesome to feature as much Arab creativity as possible at the upcoming CC global meeting next September in Poland Tunis meeting was great and so busy that we still hadnt the time to update everybody here in the regional mailing list about what has been achieved I hope to post something on the global website tomorrow inshallah and link to the list, providing also the You Tube and FB links to all the materials that have been produced in Tunis Meanwhile, pls have a look on Twitter at the hastag #CCMENA you`ll find lots of stuff there A message to the people that took part in the Tunis meeting: is there anybody who would like to write a post in Arabic pls? we need to update the regional website and JOSA has been so kind to volunteer to help Basel to do so. We need content in Arabic so I`d love to ask to the people who attend Tunis and who have a good Arabic language skills to write something about the meeting and send us asap Thanks so much and more soon inshallah salamaat dona
