View source for KM4Dev Workshop - Netherlands, June 2007: information for participants

''“Simone and Allison had been working on the Knowledge Expeditions idea for more than a year...The idea is to find a way to move beyond the tools we normally use and provide a fresh and inspiring approach to the issues and challenges we deal with. From time to time, they had managed to meet one another in the same city for something else and squeezed the work in their busy agendas. They shared the idea with the KM4Dev community and had a chance to test it out at KM4Dev in Brighton. Still, progress moved at a snail's pace as both of them had competing priorities. So they decided to register the initiative for the 2007 KM4Dev Workshop where they would like to use the time and space to gather some fresh input from the community and, most importantly, focus on their project as a team for almost 2 full days”.''

A group of Netherlands-based organizations and other individuals decided to organize a KM4Dev workshop in 2007 that would put the emphasis on the WORK part of “workshop”, creating an event that offers the community some space to work on collaborative KM/KS and organizational leaning projects. This event would also – as in past KM4Dev workshops – serve as a venue for the sharing of experiences and exploration of ideas. This encounter offers the opportunity to create or to strengthen collaboration within the community by involving each other in the design, execution and/or dissemination of existing or new initiatives.

=== Venue ===
Woudschoten Conference Centre
Woudenbergseweg 54
3707 HX Zeist
Phone; +31 (0)343-492 492
 
=== How to reach the venue ===
'''Coming by plane'''<br>
From Schiphol Airport take the train to Driebergen-Zeist, which is in the direction of Utrecht and Arnhem. Possibly you will have to change trains in Utrecht in the direction of Arnhem (be careful to take a train that stops at Driebergen-Zeist !).
 
'''Coming by train'''<br>
Depending from which direction your are coming, you will have to take a train to Utrecht or Arnhem, because Driebergen-Zeist is in between these two places. Then take a train to Driebergen-Zeist. 
 
'''Once in Driebergen-Zeist'''<br>
Once in Driebergen-Zeist you will have to take a taxi, which you will find at the main entrance of the station. It is cheapest if you take a taxi from the firm “Hoek station Vervoer” , because that is a taxi which takes more than one passenger at a time. If no taxi is waiting you can call one at phone: 0343-512364. Once in the taxi it will take you about 10 minutes to get at the venue.
 
'''Coming by car'''<br>
Please visit the site www.woudschoten.nl and see the description of the route there.
 

=== Internet ===
There is wireless access to the internet in the building, which can be used for free.
 

=== Weather ===
Normally in June it is quite nice weather in the Netherlands. Temperature normally ranges somewhere in between the 15 and 20 degrees Celsius and of course you never can tell if it will rain. So anyhow take a warm (rain) coat with you! 
 
 
=== In case of emergency ===
Call the venue +31 (0)343 492492 and ask for Maarten Boers or Dorine Ruter.
