Communications Guidelines Review

At AIM we presented draft Communications Guidelines, basically a guide on how to talk about CISV, which were produced as part of the Communications Review that took place earlier this year. During AIM we received some helpful feedback but to make sure we  get the widest possible range of views, now we would like to hear from you.

Review process for the content of the Communications Guidelines

The Communication Guidelines are for helping you to speak about CISV and explain our programmes and educational approach.  You will use your own experiences and history with CISV to make any presentation personal. You can download the draft version here.

Please use the questions below to provide feedback about the content of the guidelines.  

Send us your feedback to diversity@cisv.org by no later than 7 November 2010.

Feedback questions:

1. Do you have any comments on the tone and language of the Guidelines (ie  too informal, too academic, difficult for 2nd language speakers)?

2.  Is there any content that you feel is missing? Please say what you feel is missing.

3. Is there any content in the draft Guidelines that you feel should not be included in the final version? Please say what you think should not be included.

4. Do you have any other comments related to the content of the Guidelines?

(Please remember that at this stage we are only concerned about the content of the guidelines and not the design or editing).

Once we have collected all the feedback we receive, the Communications Guidelines will be passed on to 2 CISVers , one who is a journalist for professional, independent copy write, and one who is a graphic designer for professional, final design work. 

The fully completed Communications Guidelines will be launched, along with revised brand guidelines, following approval at the Mid Way Meeting of the International Executive Committee in February 2011.

The revised brand guidelines will include an additional font, some additional colours, template presentations, letterheads etc.  There will not be a radical change, rather a more modern, cleaner version of what we already have.

Thank you for your help!
