The weekend of 23-24 February 2002 saw the first
ever workshops about CYM on the Internet (or "CYMnet) in Britain's two
largest oseredoks, Manchester and Bradford. Taking part in the workshops
were members of the oseredok's older youth groups, interested druzhynnyky
and members of the local CYM committees. The three-hour sessions were
led by Roman Pawluk, who sits on the National Committee with responsibility
for developing CYMnet in the UK,
and Roman Panas, chairman of CYM in Great Britain
The workshops sought to inform the oseredoks of the benefits and potential
of CYMnet within their own local educational and organisational activities,
and to help them set up their own local web-sites linked in with the national
web-site maintained by the National Committee. In the limited time available,
participants in the workshops were introduced to the history and current
activities of the CYMnet projects, the overall structure of CYMnet, problems
associated with Ukrainianizing computer systems, CYM email addresses,
help for CYM leaders and educators, CYM discussion forums, CYM interactive
games, future projects and how to start developing your own local CYM
web-site.
. The race is now on to see which oseredok in the UK will become the
first to set up their own web-site hooked into the international CYMnet
infrastructure.
