International Alexander Awareness Week

International Alexander Awareness Week, October 6-14^th, 2007

RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS

October, 2007 marks the fourth annual International Alexander Awareness Week.

In the USA we chose to straddle the week over two weekends giving teachers more of a choice to schedule events. In many areas of the country the Columbus Day Weekend is Autumn Fairs and Harvest Celebrations, a time when many people are out and about. A beautiful Poster and postcard were designed by Tom Breuer of Germany to help teachers attract attention to the Alexander Technique.

Good luck, have some fun and please list your event on the EVENTS page.

Here’s how to list your event:

Send email to: Alana Cox, IAAW Coordinator, at alanaforat@hotmail.com with details about your event as follows, and we’ll add it to the page.

Here are some ideas from previous years.

Many teachers gave demonstrations at no charge in various public venues.
Several training courses opened their doors to visitors.
Some teachers gave discounted lessons over a 3-4 month period.
Some teachers made other, special offers in honor of International Alexander Awareness Week.

We are hoping that training courses will open their doors to invite the public.

Increasing public awareness is a gift both to the AT community and to the population overall. Please contribute a little bit of your time, build the strength of the AT community and have some fun!
