To read in your browser click here We invite your submission of articles for the April 2014 edition of Winds and Waves Magazine. Dear colleagues, We do hope you have enjoyed reading past editions of Wind and Waves. We are constantly exploring how we can make this magazine more user friendly and accessible to as wide an audience as possible, and are delighted to have your suggestions. Wind & Waves will publish its next issue in April on the theme of "Networking" in all its old and and new manifestations, with stories from around the world! This is part of so much of our work these days. We cooperate with various groups in our projects. We make new contacts during facilitation programmes who then open doors for us. When we look at our daily calendar of tasks, we see how networking is intrinsic to our work. In the next issue, we would like to highlight the Who, How and the Benefits of networking - who we are networking with, how we are doing it and the benefits of networking. Could you contribute an article on this topic for this issue? What we need are reports and stories about the people and organisations that you are networking with, the breakthroughs that you have had, your learnings and insights, and your thoughts on future directions. As the magazine is still developing, we are open to a wide range of articles in terms of both content and style. Those that focus on this theme would be ideal but others are also welcome. Do you, or someone you know have a story that highlights networking or the synergy of connections? Please forward an invitation as appropriate to your networks.
