COM Gathering
As the UofN College of Communication, we have had a deep desire to gather with our staff spread throughout the world. At the moment we have around 40 schools running in 19 locations scattered around the globe.
To get all the staff in one location is a tremendous challenge. So we decided to gather online from the 26th to the 28th of August, using GENESIS.
What a blessed time! We had a number of smaller working group meetings between various locations, but undoubtedly the highlight was our “plenary” sessions, where we connected up to 12 locations in 10 nations - USA, Brazil, England, Switzerland, South Africa, India, Thailand, Russia, Nigeria, Australia – representing every continent. Eight of these locations were linked via a very stable GENESIS connection. The other four were patched in via skype, with varying success.
The mission’s leadership were able to communicate fresh vision to us, and it was a very significant time for our college as we responded by making a stand for unity, and committed to supporting one another. Our deepest thanks to all who those who went the extra mile to make this technically possible, especially to the GENESIS Center, who coordinated the link!
