Report from U3A International Conference in Singapore

The Singapore Conference was a success and the presentations of the papers flowed well.  Dr.Alofabal from Nigeria regretfully had to withdraw the day before the Conference, but his abstract is in the Souvenir Issue, and his paper is on the CD disc where all the papers are available.  The Souvenir issue can be seen on the website.   As regards the papers, we are exploring how best to make these available.

The Asia Pacific Aliance is already hard at work for the next Conference to be held in India (south) 2012.  I now have Africa under my wing and will keep you posted abut the Conference. Are there any special topics you would like to see on the Program? Please let me know.

Another move afoot is - IAUTA is looking at Regionalisation and working with the U3A groups in these areas.  Do let me know your feelings about this proposed move. Also visit their website, and particularly the reports of the President(s).  It is interesting reading.

 

Greetings,
