Best Practice Story competition

The Section Guide Best Practice Story competition is OPEN!

Dear ESN member, have you already heard about the Section Guide project?
 
The Section Guide is a manual for all ESN sections with information on how to work within an ESN section and how to manage all its different activities. It will contain instructive theoretical information combined with best practice examples and tips from all over the network. This is how you can contribute: show how you work in your section and share best practices with other ESN members! You can make the difference ;)
 
The guidebook will be composed of two main parts: "Sections in ESN" and "ESN for Sections". The first part will contain information and tips on how to run and manage a section successfully. The second part is aimed more to share for sections relevant information about ESN as a organisation and the network as such. 
 
You can find more information on the project, structure of the guidebook, team and timeline on the webpage: http://www.esn.org/content/section-guide (www.esn.org->Projects->Section Guide).
