Hi everyone,
We look forward to the Asia-Pacific meetings and any other activity that we
might agree on during the Summit. There will be four of us from
Isis-Manila--Susanna George, Mavic Cabrera-Balleza, Raijeli Nicole, and
Aileen Familara. We will arrive in Geneva tomorrow --07 December. We will
be staying at:
Residence St. James - Geneve, 3 rue Versonnex, Geneve CH - 1207
Tel: (0041) 22-849-9100
Let me also take this opportunity to invite you to the two activities that
we are organising at the Summit:
1. Panel Presentation on "Globalised Media and ICT Systems and its
intersection with Globalisation, Fundamentalisms and Militarism"--10
December 2003 from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Saleve Multi-purpose Hall in Palexpo
2. launching of the Isis journey video and the Collective Journeys website
--09 December, 4-6 p.m., Jura Conference Room in Palexpo. The Collective
Journey website chronicles the histories of women's information and
communication organisations that have contributed in building and
strengthening the women's movement. It highlights innovative usage of
information and communication technologies by women's organisations and
features a timeline of significant moments in the women's movement in the
last 30 years.
Cheers,
Mavic
