Friends: We are pleased to announce that the Twelve Concepts for World Service animated video is now available for viewing in English, French, and Spanish. The video was adapted from an A.A. Great Britain version in adherence to an Advisory Action of the General Service Conference of the U.S./Canada. ABOUT THE VIDEO  The video is based on the A.A. pamphlet The Twelve Concepts for World Service Illustrated. This lively tour through the Twelve Concepts offers a wonderful introduction to A.A. service, with roles and responsibilities illustrated in an easy-to-understand “whiteboard animation” style. Follow along to see how wide participation in the “inverted triangle” of the Fellowship enables us all to work together to carry the A.A. message of hope and recovery.
