Invitation to Knowledge FAN Festival North East: 9-10 March, 2010

[Guest guest]

Greetings!

 

As part of the Knowledge FAN project supported by UNAIDS, India several young

people and communities across Manipur and Nagaland are preparing to conduct a

first-of-its-kind knowledge sharing festival in the north east (see attached

project brief).  The Knowledge FAN festival will be held in Imphal, Manipur on

9-10 March, 2010.  We would like to invite you to kindly join us at this event

please. 

 

The Knowledge FAN event is designed to support youth- and community-led

knowledge exchange; promote cross-community and community-to-stakeholder

dialogue; and facilitate networking based on local knowledge about HIV, health

and human rights issues. 

 

The first phase of Knowledge FAN involved a capacity building workshop held in

Dimapur, Nagaland, which focused on use of knowledge sharing tools and

processes.  The second phase of the project involves building a youth- and

community-led knowledge sharing, advocacy and mobilisation platform in the north

east.  The upcoming Knowledge FAN festival is a critical step toward

establishing this unique community-led advocacy platform.

 

The north east knowledge festival is expected to bring together several hundred

young people, communities and stakeholders from across Manipur and Nagaland to

celebrate knowledge in a festive, mainstream environment.  Several

organisations, networks and groups, including the project's 25 (sub/)partners,

the UN and UN-partners, legal and legislative bodies, Governments, media, youth

and community leaders and others will engage with the event. 

 

We hope you will join us at the event in Imphal, Manipur next week.

 

With kind regards,

Ash
