RECI Members Webinar - Discover the NORRAG Network!
On October 17th, NORRAG Global Education Centre was hosted by the Swiss Network for Education & International Cooperation (RECI) for a Network training session. Chaired by Beatrice Schulter, RECI Executive Director, this session explored the thematic focuses of NORRAG and facilitated practical engagement with the Network’s Social Systems Map. Regional coordinator for Hispanophone Latin America and the Caribbean, Felicitas Acosta, first introduced NORRAG, paying special regards to #TheSouthAlsoKnows and the Education and the SDGs project. Bart Gabriel, regional coordinator for the North America, Europe and Oceania regions then provided a technical overview of the Social Systems Map, inviting participants to reflect on their networking needs to optimally take advantage of the NORRAG Network.
During the remainder of the event, participants practiced how to navigate the NORRAG’s Social Systems Map during breakout sessions. Participants learned about key functionalities of the Map, such as how to connect with experts in specific countries or topics, and how to leverage the Map’s filter and search functions. Many participants responded positively to this interactive way of familiarizing themselves with the map’s potential. These breakout sessions were characterized by a cordial atmosphere, mutual learning and network building across and within regions.
