Cooperation workshop, 20-21st March 2010

Dear Cooperation participants,


We are Tom, Simon and Julie, otherwise St. Pierre and Miquelon and we will be running the workshop this weekend. We just want to briefly introduce what we will be doing and ask you to think a bit about it beforehand:


In 2009 St. Pierre & Miquelon produced the report 'A Dilemma: An Enquiry into Steve Hater's Arabic Tattoo' [ http://www.st-pierre-and-miquelon.com/a-dilemma.html ]. As a result of this, we have set up an Enquiry Service [ http://www.st-pierre-and-miquelon.com/enquiry-service.html ] aimed at individuals who would like us to conduct an investigation or research into a personal concern of theirs.


For the workshop this weekend we will be running this Enquiry Service with you. We would like for you all to bring with you an 'enquiry' that could be the subject of investigation by the group. For instance, is there something in your local environment, school, culture, personal history etc that seems problematic to you?


Through discussion we will choose one of the enquiries. We will then work out how we will conduct the enquiry. We can use conventional methods such as the internet, first hand observation, questionnaires etc but we will also look at our skills as individuals and how they might contribute to the group.


Thanks and look forward to seeing you Saturday


Julie, Simon and Tom
