We had a GLOWing time!

It looks like years have passed since we all met in Bonn and had a good time and a GLOWing time! (Looking forward to the next one, already!)But, really, it was just six months ago. And, over the past months, work has been going on at the HQs to document the whole GLOW process as well as the event itself. The result is here: the Final GLOW 2005 Report.

As its last task, the GLOW Communications & Social Team was asked to prepare the report in a way that would be more interesting and comprehensive, without being bulky and boring. So we've taken a new approach to it, creating an online report, incorporating all the photos and videos we had compiled before and during GLOW. We hope you'll find it informative and enjoyable.

We have provided most of the video clips from GLOW in two formats that will play on Windows Media Player and QuickTime Player. Choose the format depending on which of the two software you have installed on your PC. You can download the free QuickTime Player from here. The Windows Media Player can be downloaded from the Microsoft site.

Please note, the video clips and slideshows can take some time to download, depending upon your Internet connection speed. Patience is requested for the pleasure of viewing them!

GLOW2005 is over... and, long live the GLOW!

In a very nice article edited by our Edward, GLOW is featured in the UNDP Bulletin. The article gives to UNDP readers a very good GLOW overview...and worth reading. Nice photos too. Thanks Edward!

(Note: The links to the Knowledge Platform brochures and presentation were broken due to an oversight on our part. Here we post them again with the correct links.)

A prototype version of a proposed UNV "Knowledge Platform" was presented at the GLOW on Wednesday morning, May 18.

If feedback from GLOW participants is positive, more work will take place on the Platform in the next few months. Comments should be sent to steven.bagshaw@unvolunteers.org

We have a brief brochure on the platform available in English, French and Spanish (see below, all in PDF).

Additionally, the Powerpoint presentation of the Platform, including a number of screenshots, is provided here.

Jueves por la noche, la discoteca del hotel Seminars era un abanico de colores. Mujeres y hombres de todas las razas lucían sus mejores galas y sonrisas para despedir lo que ha sido una intensísima semana de GLOW. Me quedo absorta observando los hermosos y coloridos vestidos africanos y la elegancia y simplicidad de las prendas asiáticas. Quizás, mis pantalones vaqueros y mi camisa rosa no fueran la elección más acertada... ¡ Pero eso es lo de menos! ¡ La fiesta no decepcionó!
