Music as a Means of Intercultural Dialog



How can music help people communicate, understand and respect one another in a globalizing world will be the main theme of the symposium held at UNESCO on 26 November.

The symposium will bring together ethnomusicologists, ethnologists, historians, musicologists, authors, musicians, composers, lawyers, as well as representatives of academia, governments, non governmental and international organizations, and the private sector from all parts of the world.

Some Resources for Website Design and Posting from UNESCO


As you might guess, I am very much involved in managing a website and posting on blogs. I hope it is not too evident that I had no training for these activities, and have picked up what skills I possess by practice. I find, however, that UNESCO field offices have produced two very helpful resources for webmasters and bloggers.

This book was published by UNESCO's India Office with comprehensive guidelines on how to create a website. 2005. (PDF, 244 pages)

This is a power point presentation with guidance on how to post on a website or blog. It is provided by UNESCO's Bangkok office. (PPT, 4.7MB)
