Interesting. I've been increasingly emphasizing in planning meetings of
local groups that above all we should aim at getting people to talk to each
other, and particularly to talk to each other about how to get even more
people talking to each other! What we need right now, in this Year of
Wisconsin and #OWS is recruitment and "training through practice" of
additional activist. The event described here sounds more like a Church
Service: Feed Your Soul by Listening to God (or the expert on human rights).

Actually, if you look again, Larry, you'll see it doesn't even offer a
question period. Human rights are evidently not a prominent consideration in
the training itself. No time for them.
Best, Michael

FYI. Looks like you might still sign up if you were so moved. Note that
the training is to be followed by questions. It does not say discussion.

Dear colleagues,
Please remember to sign up for the human rights training sessions, which
will be held in the Revelle conference room at AAAS Headquarters on Friday,
December 9.
December 10, 2010 marks Human Rights Day, the day in 1948 when the UN
General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In
celebration of Human Rights Day, the AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human
Rights and Law Program is conducting training sessions for members of the
AAAS community. The training will address the following questions:
- What are human rights? - How are human rights relevant to your work and
the mission of AAAS? - What is AAAS doing to address human rights and how
can you contribute?
Sessions will be held at the following times:
9:30 - 11:00am
12:30 - 2:00pm
4:00- 5:30pm
Email Rebecca Carlson ([log in to unmask]) to secure your spot in one of
these training sessions. (Tea, coffee and cookies will be provided).
Best regards,
Jessica Wyndham AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program
