Eurofurence 17

[lupestripe]

For the fifth consecutive year, I will be at Eurofurence. Wolfie and I will be arriving on the Tuesday evening and leaving the subsequent Monday morning.

I will be running three workshops at this year's convention. The first is the usual improv workshop whilst the storytelling roundtable will also be reprised. So if you have a story or some poetry you would like to read and would appreciate some constructive feedback in a supportive environment then please pop along.

The third workshop will be a talk about charity work in the Fandom. I hope to be able to include lots of tips and advice about fursuiting for charity. It would be great to have as many contributors to this as possible who can offer their own stories and perspectives. I have been doing charity work for four years but I know I am not as experienced as some. So if you are interested in attending or helping me shape this talk, please let me know.

No worries - if you could send me a link to your NP entry, it would be great.

Of course, I can :)
It's in Norwegian, and not too many answered the thread (many people are lazy and don't comment on stuff).
But here is the link; http://www.norwegianpaws.org/forum/index.php?topic=1801.0

Thanks, anything you can do to promote the round table would be appreciated.

The three workshops are:

1) Charity fundraising
2) Improvisation
3) Story Telling Round Table

It would certainly be great to see you at the charity one :)

From Dax (norwegian fur you met here in Norway):

Thanks to Wolftale I just read about the charity workshop.
Excellent contribution. I'll be looking forward to attending it.
My natural question would be "where to start?".
What's the best way to convince an organization to take you onboard as a mascot? How high or low should you aim when looking for your first charity? What are the requirements/difference compared to a regular furwalk.

We had a lot of positive experience from regular walks here in Norway, and I think it would be fun if we could move a step upward from there.

If you want a quick chat related to this don't be afraid to contact me on msn or mail. You can reach both through the adresse kjeenge @ online.no

Please thank Dax for the interesting questions, I will do my best to answer them at the workshop at EF. Thanks also for promoting the workshop on the forum, it's very much appreciated :)
