International meeting - May 2009 The partners of the Worldwide Virtual School met at Sering from 4 till 12 May 2009.
  • The core group with Sering, Pregones, Tswepa and AyE have elaborated plans for the coming years. A fifth organisation was invited to join this central group, and with it a new continent. The Red Zone Company from Baghdad makes open and critical theatre in very difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, representatives from Red Zone couldn't get visa, but we will implicate Red Zone in our future plans.
  • In a second time, we discussed our plans with other groups from the network of the Virtual School. We invited representatives from social-artistic theatres from Norway, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Great Britain and the Netherlands.

Multimedia Training

At the end of August 2007, Sering organised a multimedia training in TRIX Borgerhout (B). Guided by Pascal Poissonnier, collaborators of Tswepa, Divadlo z Pasáže and Sering learned to work with video cameras, editing programs and internet. In October 2007, a 'speed course' was arranged for collaborators of Arena y Esteras who couldn't take part in August.
