Subject: [HIFA2015] Online conference: Virtual International Day of the
Midwife, 5th May 2011
To: HIFA2015 - Healthcare Information For All by 2015 <>

 The Virtual International Day of the Midwife (VIDM) celebrates the
International Day of the Midwife by bringing midwives and others from across
the globe together using online electronic media. Online events are
presented every hour for 24hrs on the 5th May starting at 12pm New Zealand
time and may include;

- live presentations via web-conferencing facilities
- electronic discussions
- podcasts
- audio & video recordings
- blog posts

Past presentations can be found at
http://internationaldayofthemidwife.wikispaces.com

The organising committee are now calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI)
to present at the VIDM eVent. While the EOI must be in English we welcome
presentations in other languages. We also welcome EOI from non-midwives and
midwifery students. Presenters need not be experienced in using electronic
media - members of the organising committee will be able to give support.

Please provide a short paragraph (no more than 150 words) describing your
presentation and the form it will take (for example a PowerPoint
presentation, live or email discussion, video, photographic slide show,
story-telling session). Please also include your status (eg midwife,
non-midwife, midwifery student), country of origin and language of
presentation. Your presentations or resources should;

- Have a clear aim or purpose
- Focus on maternity care or midwifery
- Be of interest to an international audience
- Be appropriate to the chosen media

If you would like to give a live presentation, please indicate what time and
time zone you are available in your EOI.

Please note: We will be using the web-conferencing platform Elluminate. All
live sessions will be facilitated by an experienced online facilitator so
you will be supported at every stage.

Please submit your EOI by 1st April 2011 by;
