hi everyone
some time back, it was suggested that a guide to all the otherWISE
online resources - websites and e-mail lists - be created to make it
clearer as to what is what.
please see such a guide here and also below as text:

otherWISE Online Guide
As someone who is involved in the otherWISE project, we invite you to
join and contribute to a number of online networks and resources to:
1. keep in touch with the project
2. stay up to date with revisions and new resources for the youth
workshops and action support program
3. network with others in your own community and in others around
Australia
4. support and learn from your peers in facilitating youth leadership
for sustainability within the project and in other contexts
Below are the online resources and networks, what they are for, and
how you can join them.

Working Group members and mostly used to plan and implement the
project.

Just call them together and raise in their minds a longing
