ACA WORKSHOP SPOTLIGHT

AWARENESS AND ADVOCACY

Christina Nichols and Lois Yorke

Tuesday, 27 June 2006 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm

Memorial University, St. John's, Newfoundland

 

AWARENESS AND ADVOCACY

Advocacy is an opportunity to get involved in social and political
decision-making. Take action!  By lending their opinions, experience,
and expertise to government, the media, and the general public,
Archivists can be an invaluable civic resource.  When the call to action
is urgent, getting involved is easy.  Your experiences, values, and
opinions make an impact - - they become the evidence you present in the
public arena to win support to your cause.  This 1/2-day workshop, based
on the Awareness Kit developed by the Canadian Council of Archives, aims
to provide participants with the tools to communicate this evidence to
legislators and media.
