Workgroups

“Workgroups” is the new overall category for what in the first phase of the Alliance was designated by: “Thematic Workshops”, now “Thematic Groups”; “Socioprofessional Networks”; and “Geocultural Groups.” In this section, you will find all currently and previously existing Alliance workgroups. Their status is indicated as: filed, cooking, or active (click here for further explanations on these statuses).

If you are facilitator of one of these workgroups and would like to update your page, please ask for your login. In any case, feel free to contact the different facilitators or to refer a question to the alliance discussion list.

Afin de mener à bien des débats multiculturels et multilingues via internet, et permettre à des équipes de travailler en plusieurs langues tout en garantissant des résultat, l’équipe de facilitation de l’Alliance a mis en place, dès ses premiers pas, une méthodologie innovante et des outils adéquats. Ces outils et méthodes ont permis et permettent encore aujourd’hui des échanges riches et constructifs. Voici les compte-rendus de quelques-uns d’entre eux.
