Digital Committee Workshop 

Digital resources can make recovery more accessible, connected and flexible. However, they should support—not replace—the programme, meetings, sponsorship, literature and human connection. This workshop will help participants explore how they can use digital resources safely and effectively to strengthen their recovery.

Translations Workshop

The purpose of this annual workshop is to help Representatives understand the process our Fellowship follows for translating OA literature and materials, particularly in Region 9, where the majority of service bodies and groups are non-English-speaking.

This year, the workshop will focus on the new Licence 2, explaining its purpose, the responsibilities it entails, and the key points that service bodies should be aware of before requesting it from the World Service Office.

Fun & Fellowship Workshop – The Power of We

This workshop offers an opportunity to step away from the business of the Assembly, relax, and enjoy time together in fellowship. 

The focus of this workshop is not on business, but on experiencing The Power of We—the strength, joy, and sense of belonging that come from being part of our Fellowship. The goal is to connect, and be reminded that, although we come from many different places, we are united by a common purpose and a shared journey of recovery.
