The Potential for a Wide Range of Workshop Offerings

 

The IPCR Initiative is currently offering workshops with the goal of introducing The IPCR Initiative, and The Eight IPCR Concepts—and the goal of making the resources of The IPCR Initiative as accessible as possible, so people can make use of them.  There does exist, however—and it is worth emphasizing here—both the need and the potential for people (including myself) to provide workshops at the local community level on all of the 105 fields of activity, so people can make best use of resources associated with those concepts.  Such a wide range of workshop offerings would, I believe, be most accessible as workshop offerings from some kind of community center.  If there are any readers of this IPCR Journal/Newsletter who would be interested in developing the idea of a “wide range of workshop offerings,” please contact me—Stefan Pasti—at stefanpasti@ipcri.net.  Thank you.
