				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Staff meetings are in full flow again for this year&#8217;s event.</p>
<p>Since we had new staff members and also people coming to observe, we ran &#8220;speed dating&#8221; so that everyone could talk to many new people in just 20 minutes.</p>
<p><a href="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSC_7286r.jpg" rel="lightbox[8582]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8591" src="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSC_7286r-480x322.jpg" alt="DSC_7286r" width="480" height="322" /></a></p>
<p>Then we worked on planning for the new pre-event in June, where this year&#8217;s international groups will be announced. For internal consumption only, Ian introduced the planned groups to staff.</p>
<p><a href="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSC_7308r.jpg" rel="lightbox[8582]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8592" src="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSC_7308r-480x322.jpg" alt="DSC_7308r" width="480" height="322" /></a></p>
<p>WMDF is still recruiting staff. If you have an interest, please come and check out our gatherings. The next meeting is on Wed 27 May at <span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">18:30 at Hakodate&#8217;s Machi-Tsukuri Centre.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WMDF is already working hard on its 008 event, and on finding new partners to work with us.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">As part of this, WMDF visited Hokkaido University of Education Hakodate campus on April 17 (</span><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">Fri). GIA presentative, Ian Frank presented our activities and roles of </span><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">staff through pictures and video. Students who joined us last year as </span><span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">staff also showed up and helped us out.</span></p>
<p>If you are interested, there are staff meetings announced on these pages. For more information on registering to get automated emails, check out &#8220;Take part as WMDF staff&#8221; on our homepage. It&#8217;s also possible to attend our meetings as an observer, if you just want to find out what everything is about.</p>
<p><a style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;" href="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_2180r2.jpg" rel="lightbox[8562]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8570" src="http://wmdf.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_2180r2-480x360.jpg" alt="IMG_2180r" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>By the way, on the same day in the evening, we also held a &#8220;Core Meeting&#8221;. These settings bring together the sub-group leaders of all the important groups that work to implement WMDF to make plans and to check and generate ideas. This time, we focussed on the 2015 Pre-Event, the &#8220;Worlds Meet Circus&#8221;, and we think we came up with many promising directions.</p>
<p>Time will pass fast, but we will try to make this another memorable year. Why not join us?</p>
