Friday afternoon, December 24th at 1PM I receive an email informing me that, according to promises on the general meeting of the Dutch CCI community at May 30th, a new Dutch CCN(etherlands) community website  is on line now. Joke Stassen writes in her email, that she, together with Nettie Gruson, Henk Madhuizen, Jacques Lelieveld and Niek Sickenga has been busy with the reshaping and constructing - also with international help - of this completely new site. The result is simple and the site is publicly available and has, when you have logged in as a member of the community, a seperate private program as well. The team of 5 Dutch co-counselers is now involved in keeping the website updated and sending out the News for members, that is connected to the site. Since a long time already, there does not exist any more a printed Dutch CCI Newsletter.

The public content is divided in five chapters: 1) home; 2) activities (fundamentals, back to basics, regional, national, international); 3) agenda ( dates of diferent activities); 4) CCN (organsiation, membership); 5) trainers (national and international, linked with the CCI trainerslist of CCI World News Service); 6) co-counselling ( to whom, the method, learning, history, kinds of co-counselling, definitions, co-creating  etc); 7) links (CCI websites) and 8) contacts.  

The website is very informative. It has of course a news page, lots of background information and a library from where everyone can download co-counseling literature, and where only members can find all kinds of organisational information. The website has a  members forum, that gives many possibities, like finding a co-counseling partner, sharing literature suggestions, organising acticvities, offering space for meetings or second hand pillows, or having a dialogue about co-counseling. Logged in members can see who else is online and also use the chatbox to connect with them. At the bottom of most pages you find 'Google translate', which makes it easy to translate the page into your own language, with a reasonable though not perfect outcome. The site has a lot of interactive possibilties for the well being of the community members!
