EIFL is inviting African public librarians aged under 35 to apply to take part in a two-year initiative that will connect them to inspiring public libraries in Asia and Africa.
IYALI (short for Initiative for Young African Library Innovators) is a partnership between the EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme (EIFL-PLIP), the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA), and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
IYALI will expose emerging public library innovators in Africa to experiences and ideas from other developing and transition economy countries. The initiative aims to expand the professional horizons of African public librarians, and help them see their own work and achievements in a new and different light.
The deadline for applications is 9 February 2018.
THE IYALI LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Successful IYALI applicants will have the opportunity to:
- Attend a Young African Library Innovators workshop in Indonesia and visit public libraries that are providing innovative, non-traditional services (21 - 24 August 2018).
- Take part in the IFLA World Library and Information Congress 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and connect with IFLA leaders, programme associates and representatives of IFLA member libraries (26 - 30 August 2018).
- Enter a competition to win a scholarship to attend and share experiences at the 2019 Conference of AfLIA.
