The twelfth edition of Europe's World is out. We feel it's fair to say that few if any publications in the field of international relations and policy debate have grown as fast or widened their scope so remarkably as Europe's World.

Europe's World is also adding a new section entitled the Arab World to complement existing sections that as well as covering international and European issues include Security & defence, the Developing World and Sustainable Europe.

 
 
 

Has the crisis shown that “a European economy” is just a pipe dream?

Job losses in the EU, warns BUSINESSEUROPE, are expected to reach 4.5m this year, with Spain and the UK each accounting for almost 1m unemployed people. By 2010 Europe’s unemployment rate could reach 10%. It will not strike every EU country equally, but it is clear that the majority of them will be faced with unemployment rates of over 10% by the end of this year. Forecasted unemployment in countries like Spain could rise to 16-19% by December. Has the crisis shown that “a European economy” is just a pipe dream?

Workshop: Web2.0 in development cooperation

11/27/2008 - 11/28/2008
Organiser : Europe's Forum on International Cooperation (Euforic - Netherlands)
 
After the success of last year's web 2.0 workshop and the positive feedback received from participants, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) and Europe’s Forum on International Cooperation (Euforic) are going to organise the second edition of the workshop 'Information, Knowledge and Communication - Web 2.0 in Development Co-operation'.

As last year we intend to provide information and communication professionals in the development community with a up-to-date overview of the possibilities and the advantages that web 2.0 tools offer for their work.

Some of the buzzwords include “social bookmarking”, “RSS”, “wikis”, “blogs”, ‘Googling’ and “vlogging” - all are free to use and they provide numerous flexible solutions to the challenges we face.

This ‘web 2.0’ offers various ways to use these opportunities to improve and enhance the data and information management of your own organisation. Most of these offerings are completely free of charge. Used alone or in combinations, the new tools may revolutionize the way development information is created, accessed, shared, and used.

Our two-days workshop will combine presentations from people who use the web 2.0 in their everyday work, with intensive guided ‘hands-on’ training.

The target audience of the event includes both novices to the subject and more advanced users, who want to get more detailed know-how.

The language of the workshop will be English, with hands-on exercises also in German.

This workshop forms part of the Euforic web2share initiative that supports Euforic members in using the new web tools and services and working collectively.

Cost: EUR 400 EADI/Euforic members (EUR 500 non-members) including 2 days training, materials, lunches, refreshments. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation.

Please bring your own laptop, if you possess one, because many of the programmes can be used locally at the venue.
