ISIS MANILA PODCASTS FROM THE 2ND ASEAN CIVIL SOCIETY CONFERENCE
Join Isis International-Manila as it take part in
the 2nd ASEAN Civil Society Conference (ACSC) to
be held on December 10-12, 2006 in Cebu, Philippines.
From December 10 to 12, Isis invites you to log
on to its website
<<http://www.isiswomen.org>
<http://www.isiswomen.org/>> and listen to and/or
download podcasts of talks and discussions on
pressing issues surrounding the Association of
South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) - the
organisation and the region - such as the
charter, ASEAN regionalism, ASEAN commitments, and its vision for the future.
Furthermore, Isis will podcast the discussions
during the panel on the role of women in building
a responsive regional community, which will
highlight and critically examine the struggles
and challenges faced by women/feminists in the
region in terms of the three ASEAN pillars,
namely, economic, socio-cultural, and security.
This three-day conference, to be held concurrent
to the ASEAN Summit, also in Cebu, will gather
together various civil society groups to discuss
issues confronting the civil society at present
in the context of the ASEAN. The conference will
serve as a platform in tackling the implications
and dilemmas of regional integration as well as
in exploring alternatives to these issues.
