Hello List! Yesterday I participated in a forum that assessed the present situation and new challenges faced by the way environmental issues are presently managed in Bolivia (one of the 25 most nature-gifted countries in the world). One of the conclusions was that general public do not participate nor are conscious about these issues. I suggested that one of the possible ways of raising awareness is to get mass-media involved (press caimpaigns, tv shows, even soap-opera as Brazil does, campaingns/contests involving school teachers, students and parents etc.).
One of the possible stakeholders for an OS gathering suggested "a training seminar" for journalists or a press conference. All of us (here in Bolivia as well as in the List) already know that this would not work. So we are to try OS. At this time I am wondering about the best way of promoting and organizing this meeting. Because journalists are busy people, the gathering should be arranged for a half-day meeting. What about presentations or "story telling" and printed hand-outs? Do you think they would help? Thanks and warm regards from La Paz (a city that is not in peace for the time being).
