14.	There are three sections of the programme that are offered at the same time: Learning Streams, the Writing for Peace workshop and Explorations. You will only be able to attend one of these. Please indicate which section you wish to attend. Please choose one only: A, B or C

I would like to register for the Writing for Peace Workshop.

The Writing for Peace Workshop is only available to practicing print journalists who write in English and either currently file to news services or plan to do so. Space is the workshop is very limited. It should be noted that those participating in the workshop will not be able to take part in a Learning Stream.

If you have selected this option please complete the following questions:

1)	Where are you currently employed and what news topics do you write about?
2)	With which news agencies do you or would you like to file news stories?
3)	How many years of experience do you have as a journalist?
4)	How will participating in this workshop assist you in covering peace and conflict stories?
	If you participate in the 'Writing for Peace' workshop you will not be able to join a learning stream. Since space in the workshop is limited, if you indicate that you wish to attend the workshop, you are encouraged also to specify your preference for a Learning Stream (Option A), if any, should you not be allocated a space in the workshop.

I would like to take part in the Explorations (sign-up sheets for these will be available at Congress).

There are a number of explorations already planned. However, if you would like to present a one-hour 'exploration' on a topic related to the Congress theme, please indicate title; the language in which you will be presenting; content in a maximum of 50 words; and equipment required. Congress 2008 will allocate space for 'explorations' taking into account regional and thematic balance to complement the existing programme.
