Internet Fiesta, 5th Edition
from March 17th to 23rd 2003
theme
Expatriation today
HTLM version : http://www.tutytam.org/2003/english/
Since the beginning of the Internet adventure, the web has continued to be the
favoured link between expatriated communities. Through forums, chat rooms and
specialised web sites, communities have formed according to their cultural
affinities. Today the world wide web is the main communication stream between
members of these communities. The Internet allows individuals living abroad to
stay in touch with their culture, their language and to recreate a cultural
space in which puts a specific emphasis on their identity.
The International Fiesta Committee, still operating from Paris, France, has
decided that the fifth edition of the Internet Fiesta will be dedicated to all
those who live abroad and wish to keep in touch with their roots and with each
other. The Internet Fiesta remains open naturally to all projects and proposed
initiatives.
The International Fiesta Committee wishes to thank all the weavers of the
Internet Fiesta 2002 and of former editions, for their remarkable achievements.
The committee have studied the results of 2002 and wish to pin point certain
weaknesses that the event presented and to suggest some directives in order to
correct them and to make sure that the Internet Fiesta 2003 will be an even
more successful event than in the past:
Therefore, the committee encourages all the contributors to get in contact with
all possible expatriated web communities, every where, all around the world,
and to inform them or to propose to them to become our partners on every
possible project being prepared. Furthermore, it appears that the most
efficient way to work being if you keep forwarding information throughout your
network. To insure the success of our Fiesta, one can never be too insistent.
The committee encourages you to engage in formal relations, as soon as
possible, with institutions and officials in your town, region or nation in
order to obtain official supports, grants, representations or accreditations
for you project, your local committee or the International Fiesta Committee.
The committee keenly advises you to get in contact equally with a maximum of
local, regional or national media and to associate them to your initiatives in
order to give to the internet Fiesta the largest possible public notoriety.
We also invite you to actively look for sponsors and partners, not only for
your own projects but also for your local committee or for the International
Committee. Remember that the partners gain increased visibility, adapted to
their very needs and only good partnerships will allow the Fiesta to keep
existing. Please intensify your effort especially in the direction of IT and
NTIC sectors. Weavers who would have found a sponsor or a partner for their
local committee or for the International Committee will see their project
entitled for a commission rewarding their action.
The committee would like every one involved in the Internet Fiesta 2003 to
contact every possible N.G.O. in order to make them participate in a way or an
other in the Fiesta and to make them use their network for our mutual benefit.
Finely, it appears particularly important that every weavers get in contact
with schools and universities to inform them and to encourage them to
participate in your project or to prepare their own but also in order to
provide the entire Fiesta network with translation resources in a maximum of
languages.
In order to complete the Internet Fiesta 2002 report, the committee would like
to ask every one to be kind enough to send us everything you have seen or heard
or read about us in the media. We will gather all of it and install an on-line
library on the new official web site of the Internet Fiesta.
Last but by no means least, we would appreciate if you could send as soon as
possible, your suggestions and short overview of the initiative you may be
preparing. The new official web site of the Internet Fiesta 2003 will be
operational very soon, meanwhile we are ready to receive your mail on
