Information Encounters in Montreal
Each month, we conduct information sessions in Montreal.
We invite people who filled the form and live in Montreal or in a surrounding area. It is not necessary to be invited beforehand to come.
These meetings last 60 minutes and take place in various locations.
We present a summary of the WSF’s initiative, history, various challenges, etc.. They are an opportunity to discuss informally and why not … have fun at the end !
Here is the link to the places, dates and times of upcoming sessions
International Information Encounters on skype
Every month we organize international Skype sessions
We invite people who responded to the implication form and who do not live in Montreal to contact our Skype account.
We include these persons in a “Skype Circle”: “My country and WSF 2016“. These exist in ten countries.
Everyone can contribute to widen a circle by sending the form around one’s networks.
The circle is also a beautiful place to meet people who are closely interested in the WSF 2016, and to discuss about the possibilities of involvement and the intentions of each one of us.
