Organising a workshop
Organising
a workshop is easier in the age of electronic mail: you can reach large
numbers of potential contributors with a call for papers via AFLS-news,
and advertise the event itself widely through the same channel. Cahiers
are here to help as well.
An atelier should be an enjoyable and fruitful occasion, both from an
academic and a social perspective. Organising one can equally be
rewarding and fun!
If you have an idea, please share it with the workshops coordinator
whose function it is to help with such events!

The
workshop checklist...
1.
Are you planning a one day or a two day event? Many institutions now
have a Conference Office which will help with finding accommodation and
with catering, and which should offer good advice on the possibility of
VAT exemption. In some cases, outside caterers can also offer a good
deal for a buffet lunch. Finding out about possibilities need not take
a lot of time or energy.
2. A call for
papers via AFLS-news will help you to organise the programme. It is
also a good way to get in touch with like-minded people.
3. You may like
to invite a keynote speaker from France:
your local BCLE, and the Service Culturel in London could meet
most of the expenses involved if you make a strong case, either
directly or through AFLS.
4. Decide what
the workshop fee will be on the basis of estimated expenditure and
cost. AFLS can provide a float to cover initial expenses, but workshops
should be self-financing or make a profit for AFLS. Keeping a record of
expenditure and income need not be a time-consuming and daunting task
if you write up the accounts as you go along.
5. Publicize the
event via AFLS-News, the Cahiers and any other journal or bulletin of
your choice. The publicity officer will be able to help. For a mailshot
to all AFLS members, you can get a list of current members and their
addresses from Henry Tyne, the membership
secretary. Your departmental secretary may also already have a set of
addresses for all French departments in the country - if not, these can
easily be produced from the directory published by The Service Culturel
de l'Ambassade in London,
generally available to all Departments.
