WORKSHOP 2003 - ENGLISH COMMUNICATION AND ENTERPRISE SKILLS

ELST Workshop 2003, English Communication and Enterprise Skills, held at Auroville was a great success. The team from Cambridge had prepared meticulously during the spring. At Auroville they delivered a professional programme that was full of energy, enthusiasm and humour. The Tibetan participants responded with hard work and friendship. The Workshop showed that ethical enterprise development is possible and desirable, that the skills and the help needed are available, and that courageous and ambitious individuals and groups can succeed.

Claude Arpi, director of the Tibetan Pavilion, and his colleagues at Auroville gave generously of their hospitality, their time and their expertise. They have helped sow ideas and ambitions that will flower. We all thank them.

The project has been completed within budget and without using any of the contingency provision. ELST thanks those individuals, companies and colleges who have made Workshop 2003 possible and especially the Commonwealth Trust, the Isaac Newton Trust and the University of Cambridge Corporate Liaison Office who supported the Cambridge volunteers as individuals and as a group.
