Cohousing-L Mailing List: Designing the Program

[braford (braford]

National Cohousing Conference,  July 21-23, 2006,   Chapel Hill, North
Carolina

I am heading up the program team for the cohousing conference next summer.
The theme will be "Living in Cohousing - A Model for a Sustainable Planet."
We expect to have four tracks for the workshop sessions, focusing on those
who live in cohousing, groups in formation and professionals and one for
topics of more general interest.  There will probably be four one and a half
hour time slots on Saturday, and two on Sunday. Most sessions will fill one
time slot, although some could be twice that long in back-to-back time
slots.

1.      What topics would you like to see addressed at the conference?
Please be as specific as you can. If you can address your suggested topic
yourself, that's wonderful, but if not, we should have no trouble finding a
cohouser or cohousing professional who can put together a talk, panel or
discussion on that topic.

2.       If you would like to lead a workshop/session at the conference
please submit a proposal which includes the following:

·       Title or Subject
·       Brief description of what you will cover (no more than 125 words,
please)
·       Your name and contact information, and what qualifies you to present
this session
·       Proposed format with attention to interactivity with participants
·       If you know, which track would your presentation fit into best?
·       If you plan to co-lead this session or present it as a panel, please
name your co-leader(s) or co-panelists, or ask us to help you find others to
present with you.

Thank you. Please send your ideas and proposals for the program to me at
conference [at] cohousing.org no later than January 31.
