Firstly, we'd like to apply for a parallel session in which we might do something like a writing workshop -- but we'll do some market research before we decide, so we'd like to refer to it as 'Communication' for the time being. Secondly, we plan to create first collisions at the ILC with a game during the workshop. It does not have to be part of the scientific programme but could for example take place just after the dinner or reception to have everybody there, but not infringe on the agenda. We'd need a relatively large space / surface area, some support from local organisers (though minimal) and it would take 1 - 1.5 hours. Do you think that can be done? Thanks and best wishes Barbara (for the ILC communicators) ------------------------------------ Barbara Warmbein ILC Communications Europe DESY-FLC, Notkestr. 85 22607 Hamburg, Germany barbara.warmbein@desy.de – www.linearcollider.org +49 40 8998 1847
