Newsletter November 2003
Welcome to the SIETAR Europa November 2003 Newsletter
We are pleased to be able to offer you this month's news and resources in a new format that can be either read online or downloaded and printed out for your next airplane ride or visit to the dentist's waiting room.
As you can see in the pages that follow, it has been a busy fall with the newly restructured Board of Directors and so many members active in following up on the fresh directions, projects and activities that came out of the Budapest Congress. Most exciting is the transformation of SIETAR Europa into being a truly representative body that can attend to the transnational issues that affect all the SIETARs and concern the intercultural professions. All of us are SIETAR Europa at the same time that we are active in and support our local SIETAR groups and projects.
In this edition you will see that plans for next year's congress in Berlin are moving along steadily. There are reports of local SIETAR activities and the development of the new SIETAR-Turk. There are reviews of new books and tools. You will be introduced to recently joined SIETARians and made aware of intercultural events and opportunities.
We hope you will take time to enjoy this edition and accept our invitation to contribute to an even larger and more varied next edition in January of the new year.
Our special thanks go to Jan Verhoeven and Inter-Ethnic Management b.v. for their generous sponsorship of this month's newsletter.
Christine Longé, Secretary
SIETAR Europa Office
on behalf of the Members and Board of Directors
