ETWA Weaving Tour: July 2008
Our next weaving tour will take place in July 2008. If you have an interest in hand-weaving, Timorese culture, women, economic development or a general interest in East Timor, the tour is a great learning opportunity and a wonderful way to connect with community. As with our first tour in 2007, we will make extensive visits to three weaving collectives in the Lautem district, learning about traditional weaving in a series of participatory workshops.

relationship as well. When we speak together in a dialogue, we are speaking
in a way that seeks to contribute one to the other.”
