These pages aim to help those planning networks that use a mix of communication methods - online, face to face, print, phone. See the online networking game for initiatives which provide some or all of Internet access, training, support, online content and community-building tools.

Workshop materials

These materials including a card 'game' which helps those developing networks discuss and plan what might be involved.

• Here's a general introduction to our planning games (you may have come from this page)
• The cards for general networks (pdf download 180 K). Right click and download the link (Windows) or option/alt click (Mac) otherwise Acrobat may load as a plug in and show the file on screen instead of downloading.
• Review general instructions for using the cards, plus other materials (or download a Word document 250K)

We would really welcome feedback and ideas on developing the games further.
