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!

Browse the report here and let us know what you think!

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

Une journée ouverte aux discussions sur les outils de gestion et d’information du travail du Programme des Volontaires des Nations Unies: ‘Workflow, Atlas, les Rapports Périodiques, la Plate-forme de formation”. Grâce aux nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication, cette journée a été aussi une bonne occasion pour assister à la vidéoconférence entre le PVNU et M. Mark Malloch Brown, ancien administrateur du PNUD qui actuellement, est chef du personnel au Secrétariat du Système des Nations Unies. La Journée 5 a permis aussi aux différentes régions à rencontrer les équipes des pays pour parler des “Stratégies”.   more »
