Workshop on
COMMUNITY-LIBRARY INTER-ACTION (CLIA): LIBRARIES AS COMMUNITY ANCHORS PROMOTING PEACEFUL AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
Libraries are community anchors, playing a key role in developing peaceful and sustainable communities. Across the world, local communities may be experiencing challenges and conflict, and need a space to raise and identify common concerns, formulate action and tackle systemic barriers. Libraries are in a position to develop community capacity building processes to advance community knowledge, intercultural understanding, empowerment and solutions. The Community-Library Inter-Action (CLIA) Project responds to this need by supporting libraries to facilitate local dialogue and community action. In this context libraries contribute to the collective action and impact on the part of libraries worldwide to advance peaceful and sustainable communities. CLIA engages three core elements:
1. democratic dialogue
2. social cohesion, inclusion, equality and diversity
3. informed civil and civic action
Date & Time: 6TH JULY 2017, 2 PM to 4 PM
Venue: NIT SILCHAR -788010, ASSAM
