THE NEW TACTICS NEWSLETTER – September 29, 2004
New Tactics Symposium Starts September 29
One man took a taxi all the way across Iraq. Another woman, when she found out she had received a scholarship, asked her neighbors to help buy fax paper so that she could receive the official invitation.
But somehow, nearly 500 people have found their way to Ankara. For four days they will learn new tactics that will help them in their work and build valuable networks. And, we hope, they will start making plans for future work with the New Tactics project.
Regular updates will be posted in the New Tactics Forum.
Final Symposium Agenda
Read about the inspiring roster of speakers, including Jody Williams, Michael Posner and Kailash Satyarthi, who will address the plenary sessions of the Symposium. And learn more about the exciting workshops participants will choose among.
16 New Notebooks Online
Twenty-nine tactical notebooks are now available to download or print. These notebooks, written by people who have successfully addressed a human rights situation in their own field, include step-by-step descriptions of how they carried out their tactics and thoughts on how others might apply the same tactics.
See the full list of notebooks.
