of digital media to craft, record, and share, the stories of
individuals and the community. The workshop will be part of the
European Commission funded project "UNTOLD: Learning with Digital
Stories." The audience will consist mainly of library staff and
educators.
-- Post also hopes to sponsor a countrywide training program for the
six AC directors. Our goal is to share best practices and discuss
efforts to further support and energize AC programming. This
program will highlight successes, other new ideas, and encourage the
AC directors to further develop a network among themselves.

the Embassy and the host institution, and all are posted on the AC
