Suggested revised structure for FAQs

The ILRI comms folks space for you and us

This space is for you to find information about more effective communication and 'knowledge work', on your own or with us. It is also our space to share our policies, strategies, tips and tricks. We believe the internet is safer if open and we are not afraid to show that we don't have all the answers - but we are learning and we hope you are learning (with us?) too.

Here, we offer you to find out more about different activities related to communication and knowledge work. For each of these, we provide: a) basic information about what it is b) some tips for how you can do it c) some examples of how we have done it d) some ideas for how we can help you do it (and why you should trust us) or even e) how we can help you do it better without us.
