Would you like to organize a local gender and language event ? Would you like to run a local IGALA branch?

Dear Mercedes,

I own a language school and there are lots of people studying languages,
most of them study English. And there is a HUGE place.

What I bear in mind is to have conversations once a week or every fortnight
about many subjects AND perhaps talk about IIGALA subjects.

For example: five students put their names on a list ( I wish more than
this number....)  to sit and talk on a paper of yours perhaps or get into a
skype meeting in which you might come and introduce yourself and have a
conversation or presentation of 15 minutes on your topic, some more minutes
to answer people's questions and the rest of the hour to give to people
time for them to express their ideas in the target language - ENGLISH OR
SPANISH, now I see you are from Madrid.

Let's meet via skype?

How about?

Let me know.

>>   *Would you like to organize a local gender and language event ? Would
>> you like to run a local IGALA branch?*
>> **
>> What follows is just a reminder of the possibility of organizing local
>> events or an IGALA branch in your town or country.
>>
>>
>>
>> *IGALA Policy on Local IGALA Branches and Local IGALA Events*
>>
>>
>>
>> 1. IGALA welcomes the formation of local (e.g. national) branches and
>> local IGALA events, for the following reasons:
>>
>>
>>
>> ·               this is likely to increase interest in the language and
>> gender field
>>
>> ·               it is also likely to increase interest in and awareness
>> of IGALA, and hence boost membership
>>
>> ·               it will increase the ‘internationalisation’ of IGALA
>>
>> ·               it will raise the awareness of all IGALA members of
>> local language and gender issues, and help guard against marginalisation of
>> certain geographical/linguistic contexts
>>
>> ·               it will create and maintain IGALA activity in between
>> conferences
>>
>> ·               it will allow direct participation in IGALA for those
>> who cannot attend IGALA conferences (or who have to miss some)
>>
>>
>>
>> At the same time, IGALA is concerned that local branches and local events
>> will be consistent with the objectives and principles of IGALA.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2. One member of the IGALA Executive/Advisory Committee will have special
>> responsibility for overseeing local branches and local IGALA events. The
>> person responsible for overseeing local branches and local events is
>> Merecedes Bengoechea. She should among other things meet with local branch
>> organisers at the biennial IGALA conference, and could offer assistance in
>> reviewing papers submitted for presentation at local events such as
>> seminars or workshops (see (4) below). Requests for starting a local branch
>> or organising local events should be submitted to her, who will take your
>> request forward.)
>>
>>
>>
>> 3. Local branches and local events will be proposed by IGALA members ‘on
>> the ground’ (i.e. not by the Executive/Advisory Committee).
>>
>>
>>
>> *Local events*
>>
>>
>>
>> 4. Local events can be workshops, seminars or meetings but should not be
>> referred to as ‘IGALA Conferences’. Local languages are welcome in those
>> events if this may foster local participation.
>>
>>
>>
>> 5. Attendees at a local IGALA conference needn’t be members of IGALA,
>> although the organiser of a local event is expected to encourage
>> participants to join IGALA.
>>
>>
>>
>> 6. The organiser of a local event should submit a report of that event to
>> IGALA.
>>
>>
>>
>> 7. A local event would be expected to be organised in conjunction with
>> the local branch, if any. For example, if IGALA members in a certain
>> country wished to organise a workshop, where there is also an IGALA branch
>> in that country, the workshop should be organised in association with the
>> branch.
>>
>>
>>
>> *Local branches*
>>
>>
>>
>> 8. Local branches are expected to be made up of members of IGALA.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> 9. Local branches should submit a report of their activities annually;
>> these reports would be reviewed at the annual IGALA (e-) Business meeting.
>>
>>
>>
>> *General*
>>
>>
>>
>> 10. Anyone who wishes to start a local branch or organise a local event
>> must be a paid-up member of IGALA in good standing. She (or he) should
>> start by contacting Mercedes Bengoechea ( <mercedes.bengoechea at uah.es>
>> mercedes.bengoechea at uah.es), providing a description of and rationale
>> for the branch/event, including details of activities, structure and
>> organisation (and, in the case of an IGALA event, the topic or focus) and
>> should include likely participants. The description should also include
>> likely benefits.
>>
>>
>>
>> 11. Mercedes Bengoechea will act as a link between the IGALA
>> Executive/Advisory board and the local branch/event. She will bring the
>> application to the attention of the Executive/Advisory Board. This could be
>> done at any time.
>>
>>
>>
>> 12. All reports (from 6 and 9) should be posted on the IGALA website.
>>
>>
>>
>> 13. IGALA is currently unable to provide financial support for local
>> branches and events, but will work towards providing information about
>> other possible sources of finance.
>>
>>
>>
>> 14. The IGALA Executive/Advisory Board will retain control of IGALA
>> membership lists, rights, and responsibilities.
