Die #gpn24 steht an und bei uns gab es vorher noch Wochenend-Schichten. Fünf Freiwillige aus dem BorgNetzWerk haben das Wochenende zum #Workshop gemacht, um das #WissKommWiki greifbarer zu machen. Mitmachen können alle, denn jede Perspektive hilft, gute #WissKomm sichtbarer zu machen.
Der Flyer hat beim Wochenende seinen Anfang gefunden und liegt nun auf der GPN für euch bereit.

Ihr seid auch dort? Dann kommt mit uns ins Gespräch.
