The May 2012 edition of the AARTG is now out and and can be accessed from the TorqAid Update/AARTG section of this website. We currently have two workshops planned in Melbourne, a Participatory Project Management (PPM) one from the 10-13 July; and a Disaster Risk Management (DRM) one from the 7-10 August. See training section for more details... Carpe diem..... Stop Press A colleague specifically requested AARTG material which focussed in on Project Management. Press here for a version of this customised May AARTG. Finally, for something completely different, and as a contrast to this normal somewhat serious work I'm involved in, check out the stunning area I live in (Torquay and the Great Ocean Road), via the site of a talented local photographer, Kevan way - see www.surfcoastimages.com.au . If you end up buying a picture thru' him, let him know it came thru' the TorqAid website, and he can shout me a drink !! |
