I think this is a great idea Godwin. Both because it's directly useful for folks who have never planned or promoted a workshop before, and because it's an opportunity for those folks to learn from more experienced writers...and all of this relates to refined writing and communication skills that can be used in grants and press releases and everything.

Some things that might be worth including could be:

• Suggestions of who might particularly benefit from the workshop, or who

the facilitators would like to have attend

• Outline of facilitation structure (is it a discussion, a presentation, a

working group...?)

• Is there a goal for the workshop? What do facilitators want participants

to come away with?

• Contact names and emails of facilitators included in the program
• Brief overview of workshop structure: what will the facilitators do, and

in what order?

• Does the workshop need volunteers to take stack or help facilitate?
• Why is it relevant/important?

Aaaand...you know some other stuff.

Can't wait to see you and hopefully Caitlin in Detroit!

I'm thinking about including a page that gives tips and maybe an outline for attendees writing workshop proposals for this year's Bike!Bike!. Does anyone feel that this might be a particularly bad idea?

Otherwise, a discussion here on good and bad practices, examples of well written workshop descriptions, or examples of things you have found confusing about the process would be super useful but it would be great if I could also find a volunteer to help write the doc.

Cheers! godwin
