That's a good idea. Perhaps the concept of a NARALO "open house" that could
be promoted to the local NGO/NPO community. I have some contacts but I'd
probably need some help in getting the word out. As it is I've invited just
about every local facebook contact of mine to the event.

Something that could link to the Academy, perhaps (assuming it happens)?

That's my recollection from the call and I agree with it.
FWIW, there is *not* going to be a EURALO showcase at Prague. So we won't
be the ones breaking the chain ;-)
