INTERNATIONAL REPORT 2018
On or around 10 January 2018, Listening Posts were conducted in Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Germany (Frankfurt and Berlin), Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy (two in Milan), Serbia, South Africa (Port Elizabeth and Pretoria), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and UK.
The international report has been created by synthesising the data contained in the reports of the ‘national’ Listening Posts and analysing the themes and patterns emerging from it (using theory to provide an appropriate framework for analysis).
Full versions of the international and underlying national reports are available on the OPUS website (www.opus.org.uk).

This report is dedicated to the memory of Diethelm Sannwald, our long-standing Listening Post convenor in Frankfurt, who sadly passed away last month. We offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
