Calling all ELIGs - Get listed at www.nelig.com


Following the success of the 'Friends of nelig' section of www.nelig.com and the rise in interest, nationally, in Emotional Literacy as seen in the number of local Emotional Literacy Interest Groups (eg, GELIG in Gloucestershire, WELIG in Wiltshire, IoWELIG on the Isle of Wight), www.nelig.com invites all ELIGs to contact the webmaster for their group to be listed in a new section of the site.

The planned section, an extension of the existing 'Friends' section (groups will be listed under the heading 'Emotional Literacy Interest Groups' on the main Friends page), offers groups the opportunity to publish information and materials coming out of their work, in effect offering each group a mini 'sub-site' of their own. Sumbissions to the webmaster for publication can be anything from notes of meetings (see GELIG's submissions here and here, for example, currently published as news items) to complete documents or resources produced (Southampton's own SELIG will soon be publishing its 'Guidelines for schools' document within its own sub-site).

This is a further strategy through which www.nelig.com aims to promote the development and dissemination of initiatives and good practice within EL work happening all over the country (groups outside of the UK are welcome also, of course). Interest has already been expressed by both GELIG and SELIG; these groups will have their areas developed first and will appear shortly.

Interested? If you would like an area of www.nelig.com for your own group, please contact Colin Woodcock at c.woodcock@southampton.gov.uk.
