Networking meeting III

SSE (Somaliland Societies in Europe) jointly with other Somaliland organizations in UK are organizing a meeting again on working together and how to create an effective networking among Somaliland organisations in UK.

This meeting is a follow up meeting to the two previously held ones in Oxford House and Hayes (West London). In both these meetings the importance of creating communication network and better ways of working together were highlighted and discussed.

In the upcoming meeting we will discuss decisions made in prior meetings and how to further pursue them. The next meeting will give us the opportunity to properly discuss what we need to do so that our working relationship is better developed. This meeting will be an open meeting in which all groups will get the opportunity to share their views and ideas.

During our last meeting we have discussed the importance of creating better communication between our organisations and it was decided to create a group email. This coming meeting we will launch this email group. Another aim of the 5th April meeting is to give members the opportunity to review the progress of the network and identify ways in which the network can develop further. It will give members the chance to discuss what we have achieved to date, strength, weaknesses and what needs to happen in the future for the network to develop its’ activities.

Our brother Jama Muse Jama, who is coming from Italy, is with us during the 5th April meeting. He is the author of the book *Freedom is not free* Gobanimo Bilaash Maaha. It is good opportunity and will be talking and sharing about the importance of freedom speech.

The upcoming meeting is nearly on the same time as the commemoration of 6th April anniversary, for that reason we will dedicate short time on talking this matter.
