Connecting and Sharing
It is our intention that the structure and boundaries of the Network create a space in which we can interact, connect, support each other and work together. Here you will find details of what we have set-up, how you can get involved and any relevant requests.
Distribution List
You can sign up to receive our quarterly Newsletter and other information about upcoming events in the Region and other important news. We guess that on average you'll receive 2 or 3 Emails every month. You can sign up for this in the
Contact Us section.
Request - if you are interested then please sign-up. If you know of anyone else who may be interested then please tell them about this possibility.
YahooGroup
We have set-up a Yahoo Group which gives us an easy way to exchange EMails, files and information with each other. This is probably more of interest to you if you wish to be more active in the Network. This could be because you'd like more regular contact with others in the Region involved in NVC, or could be because you'd like to get involved in contributing to the Network and any decisions we make.
Anyone is welcome to join the Yahoo Group (setting up a Yahoo profile is recommended but not necessary). There are on average around 40 E-Mails per month (though you choose to receive a summary in the form of a daily digest). To find the Yahoo Group and sign up - just
click here. If you want to find out more or need help finding your way round the Group, then E-Mail
Monica Reu, who looks after the Group.
Request - once you sign up, please send a short E-mail to the Group to introduce yourself and say what motivated you to sign-up.
Monthly Teleconferences
We meet by teleconference on the second Thursday of every month at 7.00am Central European Time. Calls are scheduled for 90 minutes and we either host them on Skype or on a free conference service hosted in the USA. Call agendas usually have 3 sections:
checking in and connecting
reports on ongoing projects
decision making
If you sign up to the YahooGroup you'll automatically receive monthly agendas and details of how to access the calls. If you would like to join the call without signing up to the Yahoo Group then please contact
Monica Reu who organises the calls.
Request -
you observe for the first time you join the call. You take part in decision making for those matters that affect you. You read the article on sociocracy (click here) before participating in any decisions.
Bi-Annual Meetings
We aim to meet twice a year (usually February and July). These meetings are open to everyone and are free (except for food and accommodation). If you'd like to find out more about what to expect from these meetings then you might want to look at notes from our last meetings (see our
Resources page for links).
Request - come to our meetings.
