New digital image of the Monastery inaugurated
Within the framework of the celebration of the centenary of the presence of the Marists in Les Avellanes, we present you with the new digital image of the monastery through the new web portal you can find at www.monestirdelesavellanes.com
In this new portal are present, for the first time, forming a unique combination, all the services and activities which are offered by the Monastery of les Avellanes.
The new portal has been created with the intention of showing the monastery integrated into its geographical surroundings; on it we have posted information to help our visitors gain information about the rich possibilities offered by our region.
With the web portal, the Monestir de les Avellanes enters further into the world of social networks, converting itself into Monestir 2.0. The blog, facebook, twitter, photographs, videos…, all together on the same page with the objective of encouraging collaboration and the fast and efficient exchange of information between the monastery, its surroundings, and interested persons and organizations.
In summer 2009, work began on broadening and improving the diffusion of the services and proposals offered by the Monastery of les Avellanes through the digital media. From the Monastery we initiated a process intended to lead to the creation of the new digital image we are offering today to inaugurate this new web portal. This time we have achieved a new goal. We found a method for working and our efforts came to a good conclusion. The team which will maintain the Monastery web is made up of the people of the house, who are committed to spending part of their time on this task. The agendas have been full of words: planning, meeting, discussion, designing, setting up, evaluating… The work well done has no boundaries and has reached the time for seeing its fruit.
Before concluding, the Monestir Web Team would like to thank Jordi Tutzó, computer specialist for Marist Catalonia, for his collaboration and the time he has put in; without his help we would not have this portal on the web. We would also like to thank Brother Antonio Martínez Estaún and Luiz Da Rosa, director and webmaster respectively of www.champagnat.org for their technical collaboration in the centenary videos, and Josep Sansalvador for his help in graphic matters. And many thanks, too, to all who form part of Monestir 2.0. In this digital space, we rely on friends who support us, visitors who read our blog or look out of the facebook, etc. Our very sincere thanks. Welcome!
