[WSIS CS-Plenary] Media education kit: correction

[Meigs]

Dear all,

Many of you have expressed their interest in the media education kit but
some also have signaled their difficulty in accessing it. Abubakar Alhassan
and Lisa McLaughlin have just explained to me that the error comes from a
wrong segmentation of the word SECTION. The correct URL should keep it all
in one piece, with no space in between the 'S' and the 'E' . It should read:

http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=23714&URL_DO=DO_PRINTPAGE&URL_
SECTION=201.html
 
Many thanks for all your shows of interest. This kit is YOURS to
appropriate, to adapt, to criticize, to improve, etc. In my mind, and the
mind of the Mentor association members,  this kit is just a small
contribution to the beginning of what must be a major shift and change of
scale in education worldwide, with sustainable development and cultural
diversity in mind. 

We will be testing some sections of the kit in France as a means of
celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Grunwald declaration with a
conference planned in June. Also the kit will be officially launched by
Mentor in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia, the 4-7th of March 2007. Among those
attending the conference will be the Ministers of Education from the
countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and other Arab states, as well as
representatives from developing countries in Asia.

Any initiative of this kind is welcome in other regions of the world. We
need you to raise awareness about currently available research, tools,
pedagogies. We need  you to support policies facilitating integration of
media education in national and local curricula. We need  you to promote
collaborative efforts among researchers and teachers, internationally. We
need  you to connect these efforts with the WSIS e-learning and media action
lines. Education is the key to many doors and many minds. Let's use it,
together.

Best
Divina
