    Actually all of the Beginners Guides are translated in the 5 UN

    I fully support this. The problem, in my opinion, is not the
    language. It&#39;s the medium that the message is delivered on. In a
    world where young people have stopped reading anything else than
    instant messages, we need to reduce written content to short
    paragraphs and add audio visual content.<span class=""><br>

              <br>
              a response I have received during the consultation process
              of our Outreach Strategy mentioned a comment I have heard
              on many occasions: how do ALSes get their members involved
              in At-Large activity? (see below)<br>
              <br>
              There is a beginner&#39;s guide that explains how to
              participate in At-Large,  but it is more than three years
              old.

              <br>
              <br>
              And when I read the Guide I can&#39;t help wondering why this
              has not been providing a suitable answer to all the people
              who have asked me this question. Are we missing the

                <div>One suggestion I have is to augment the « Task
                  Force on ALS Engagement » section with a mention of
                  the difficulties some ALSes may have in explaining to
                  their members how they are able to participate and
                  helping them to understand the basic At Large
                  structure and dynamics so that their participation
                  becomes easier.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>It’s certainly an issue we’ve had in the individual
                  users’ org and I think it would be useful to reflect
                  this in EURALO’s Outreach Plan.</div>
