There is a very strong focus on the actions of the United Nations and how various International political discourse has affected its operations both internally and in the performance of its basic missions.  One of its most important operations deal with the critical aspects of InterCultural Communications, and it is here we I will start a series of articles which take facts directly from various organizations, and most importantly blogs and bloggers.

 

To start....As per their website:

 

On Cultural Diversity: Cultural Diversity has been at the core of UNESCO’s concerns since the Organization came into being 60 years ago. The adoption of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2 November 2001) confirmed yet again the Organization's commitment to the "fruitful diversity of… cultures" in a spirit of dialogue and openness, taking into account the risks of identity-based isolationism and standardization associated with globalization.

Given that cultures embrace literature and the arts as well as ways of life, value systems, traditions and beliefs, the protection and promotion of their diversity presents special challenges: notably defending creative capacity through the multitude of its material and immaterial forms and ensuring that all peoples live together peacefully.

Ambassador Oliver Calls For Focus, Supports Budget Increase

Ambassador Louise Oliver addressed the Executive Board of UNESCO on October 3. Her remarks are published on the website of the U.S. Permanent Delegation to UNESCO. After expressing support for the medium term strategy, she said:

However, despite the hard work of the drafting group and its excellent co-chairmen, we think that the C5 (report with the proposed program and budget) is still overly ambitious. Certainly we are pleased that the C5 includes expected results for UNESCO’s initiatives, but is it really possible for the Secretariat to achieve those results in only two years, especially if we insist that their work is of high quality?

Note:Included in this blog is some additional information which on the surface seems important.  Nonetheless, and with respect to to what is entailed, there is still strong evidence that there are those within this institution who forever will have a real sense of their initial mission. 

Then, and as part of that mission there is Science and Communications.

"Future Directions for National Reviews of Science, Technology, and Innovation in Developing Countries"

National reviews of science, technology, and innovation are designed to help chart a course that encourages systems of scientific inquiry and broadens the engagement of scientific evidence in the policymaking process. The methods used for these reviews have varied between countries and among the agencies involved. To learn from past experiences, in April 2003 some 60 representatives from 12 developing countries and international organizations discussed the impacts of previous science and technology reviews, studied how ongoing national assessments had been designed and were being implemented, and collectively deliberated on how future reviews might be enhanced. The organizations represented at the workshop included the World Bank, Sida, UNCTAD, OECD, and the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD). The summary of that meeting was published jointly by UNESCO and the IDRC in 2003. (PDF, 66 pages.)

Labels: science and technology for development

Note:  In the experiences of helping International Students / Scholars within Western, New York who were mainly from developing countries, the very concept of an institution reaching out to them to give them the advantage of science and scientific knowledge, as every developed nation already has,  to applied to their respected societies is look at just as important as food itself.  This plus the ability to establish lines of communications, to enhance the further application of science by such technological innovations such as the Internet, an important cultural component to society development,  to those area of additional knowledge, whether it be science or simply social or cultural,  assist in very strong terms their future devlopment and thus giving more and broader options in which to choose their future.  This aspect, choice is interrelated to self - determination, and with that connection, one is able to see the real overall mission of UNESCO in this role.

Then one comes to the issue of women.

Breaking News!

Note:  Why this connection is important.....

What I encourage everyone to do: Disrupt!

By Shiwali Patel, Boston University 2005 graduate, former Community Educator for Adults and Adolescents at the DC Rape Crisis Center, current law student at Washington College of Law at American University.

It’s an unfortunate reality that sexual violence is widespread to the extent that one in three women worldwide will be a sexual assault survivor. I’ve learned about sexual violence in depth at Boston University (BU) as a women’s studies student and at the DC Rape Crisis Center (DCRCC) where I was a community educator in Washington, D.C. for almost two years. As a student I researched global sexual violence and learned about the horrors faced by many women and children in war torn regions where rape is often used as a tactic of war. Also, to connect more with the issue, I researched campus rapes in the United States and shockingly discovered how so few survivors of rape are supported by their schools.

Another reality I came to understand more clearly as a student and an advocate was societal belief in damaging myths about sexual violence. Adults, adolescents, college students and children have expressed to me, in different ways, many false assumptions about rape. These include: sometimes women are at fault for being raped because “of wearing a short skirt,” “of being too sexual,” “of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” “men can’t control their sexual urges,” or that “she really wanted it then, but changed her mind and cried rape afterwards.” After listening to this, I would scream in my head thinking, but what if she wanted to wear that skirt? Does this mean that I can’t go anywhere in clothes that I like to wear without being blamed if I’m attacked? How about the many stories I’ve heard about women not reporting? What about children? How are they asking for it? The people who spread these myths disregard the implications of what they are saying- that it’s not the rapists fault for rape, that the victim is to blame, that men and boys aren’t raped, and that rape is just about sexual gratification. All of these are false and in reality, rape is a violent act that is used to overpower and humiliate its victims.

As this is part of UNITWIN Network: Gender, Culture, Development.

Note: From various aspects, and much which deals with the implementation and practice of InterCutlural Communications, the ciritcal terms of how one labels Developing Countries amd Developed Countries becomes even sharper when dealing with a focus on women, and the essential female sexual right to say " NO! ".

Then, with this in mind, the real issue of choice becomes more clear, and how integrating ideas, technology, communications, and relevant social knowledge of awareness clearly exposes the divider barrier, or image between " developed " and " developing " nation or society.

And finally come the environment...

The Danube Delta

Biosphere Reservation
This astonishing realm of waters is home for three hundred bird species and numerous fish species - over 45 -, from sturgeons to carps and perches, while the 1150 plant species range from lianas creeping on tree trunks in oak forests to water lilies.
It is no wonder that UNESCO designated the Danube Delta as a "Biosphere Reservation". The Danube Delta Biosphere Reservation holds a triple international protection status: Biosphere Reservation, internationally nominated by the UNESCO Committee "Man and the Biosphere", International Wet Area nominated by the Ramsar Convention Secretariat, and World Natural Heritage Site recognised by UNESCO.

	19 Cambodians to Pursue U.S. Graduate Degrees under 2007-2008 Fulbright Program Ambassador Mussomeli (far left) and H.E. Dr. Kol Pheng (far right) pose for the group photo. The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh recently conducted a pre-departure orientation for 10 new Cambodians who will pursue graduate degrees in the U.S. under the auspices of the Fulbright Fellowship Program. They will join 9 other Cambodian Fulbright students currently in the U.S. for a total of 19 Cambodian students studying under the Fulbright program in 2007-2008. Guests of honor for the opening ceremony were U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, Joseph A. Mussomeli; H.E. Dr. Kol Pheng, Senior Minister and Minister of Education, Youth and Sports; Mr. Men Nimmith, President of the Fulbright Alumni Association of Cambodia; and Ms. Dy Koekunthea, Fulbright student representative. After the opening ceremony, the new students and their parents had the opportunity to discuss living and studying in the U.S. with current and former Fulbright grantees. The Fulbright Fellowship Program was established by the U.S. Congress in 1945 as a means "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries." The Fulbright Program was re-instituted in Cambodia in 1994.  Since that time, 84 Cambodian students have pursued programs of graduate study in the U.S. and more than 40 American Senior Scholars and Specialists have traveled to Cambodia to teach in Cambodian universities and assist with curriculum development. In his remarks, Ambassador Mussomeli told the students, "You are about to embark on an adventure that will change your lives.  Not only will you pursue an academic program that will strengthen your personal skills and development, you will also serve as cultural ambassadors to the United States during your time there, working to increase American understanding of Cambodia.... [E]ach American that meets you will be impressed and will want to learn more about you and your country. Each of you will help build mutual respect through education and through relationship building. You will join students from around the world, learning from them as they will learn from you. After returning to Cambodia upon completion of your studies, you will then be able to share your experiences and impressions of the U.S. with your fellow countrymen.  Many people will benefit from this opportunity of yours. Your role as cultural ambassadors is an important one." The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation from Congress to the Department of State. For 2007, the U.S. State Department increased the allocation for the Fulbright Program in Cambodia to $500,000. Additionally, U.S. universities that will host Cambodian Fulbright students for the 2007-2008 academic year will contribute an additional $275,000 in scholarships, bringing the total value of the Fulbright Program for Cambodia to $775,000. Fulbright Student Fellowship grants provide round-trip transportation to the United States, and tuition, fees and living expenses for full-time graduate study. The application process to become a Cambodian Fulbright Scholar begins in March each year with Embassy staff conducting information sessions on the process at universities throughout Cambodia. To be eligible for the Fulbright program, applicants must: have a strong academic background and a record of excellence in previous studies; have completed a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized college or university; be proficient in English (minimum TOEFL score 550); be able to adapt readily to a foreign environment; and be in good health and able to undergo a rigorous study program. Also on the Fulbright program in 2007-2008, two (2) American Scholars will travel to Cambodia to assist with curriculum development at the Royal University of Phnom Penh in radio journalism and education management. And for the first time ever, four (4) American students will come to Cambodia to conduct research. Since its establishment, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 250,000 participants, chosen for their leadership potential, with the opportunity to observe each others' political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas, and embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants. Fulbright alumni populate an entire range of professions and include heads of state, cabinet ministers, ambassadors, Members of Congress, judges, heads of corporations, university presidents, journalist, artists, professors, and teachers. Actor John Lithgow, composer Philip Glass, opera singer Renee Fleming and economist Joseph Stiglitz are among notable former American grantees. In Cambodia, several Fulbright alumni are working in key positions in the Ministries of Finance, Agriculture and Natural Resources Preservation, and Interior. Many others are lecturers at different universities and national program officers for a variety of international and non-governmental organizations. 2007-2008 Cambodian Fulbright Student Grantees New Students Ms. Dy Koekunthea -  Public Health, University of Alabama Birmingham Ms. Keo Kalyan -  Public Administration, Syracuse Mr. Poev Vathana -  Structural Engineering, Virginia Tech Mr. Seang Soleak -  Journalism, University of Kansas Mr. Heng Piphal -  Archaeology, University of Hawaii, Manoa Ms. Dek Dary -  Media and Communication, Emerson College Mr. Chou Huot -  International Relations, Syracuse University Ms. Ong Bopha -  Educational Administration, SUNY Buffalo Ms. Pou Pichrachana -  MBA-Finance, University of Akron Mr. Thy Khemra -  Eonomics, New York University Renewed Students Mr. Ann Sovatha -  Anthropology, Northern Illinois University Mr. Chan Virak -  TESL, San Jose State University Ms. Chea Chou -  Communications, Michigan State University Ms. Eng Sereikhuoch -  MBA, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Mr. In Vichea -  Education, Indiana University Mr. Khieng Sothy -  International Development Studies, Ohio University Ms. Noun Monisophorn -  MBA, Brandeis University Mr. Peou Chivoin -  Media Theory and Research, Florida A&M University Mr. Teng Somongkol -  Education, Boston College Advertisements: Contact: Mr. Roger M.

Intercultural Communications, and the promotion of the private sectors, as well as private sector activisms has already proved itslef out through various International or National Cultural Fiesta largely sponsored on various acdemic centers which have significant International Students / Scholars.   This is part of an over get the attention stage and in which OnLine set of instructions are subsequently being author to insure the promotion of the central programs / fiestas.  It is never the politiclization of issues which can successfully satisfy International concerns over American foreign policy, but that it is the direct involvement of the private sectors which can accomblish this fasters and with less investments, as the research has indicated.   Stay tune, as the overall developing internet focus is just beginning and there are additional actions and web developmentsbeing initiated.

Turning the Tide:

Why the United States Must Do Better in the Global Competition for International Students and Scholars In order to compete effectively in the growing global competition for talent, the United States must take more seriously its stake in welcoming the world’s best students and scholars, says a new report issued today by NAFSA: Association of International Educators. Restoring U.S. Competitiveness for International Students and Scholars argues that the absence of a national strategy to attract international students and scholars is starting to show its effects, and urges a renewed commitment by the United States to this important asset. The contributions of international students and scholars to foreign policy and public diplomacy are well known. In today’s global economy, they are also a vital part of the pipeline of talent on which the United States relies to fill jobs at the cutting edge of research and industry. Global mobility is the norm in today’s world, and crossing borders for study, research, and work is a defining characteristic of life in the 21st century. To succeed in attracting the knowledge, innovation, and skill we need from around the world, the United States must create and support a climate that encourages the contributions of international talent. While acknowledging improvements in visa processing, and welcoming the frequent statements by high-ranking officials about the importance of international students to key U.S. interests, Restoring U.S. Competitiveness highlights developments in global education and U.S. policy that have combined to diminish the United States’ ability to be a magnet for students and scholars from around the world – and thus to ensure its future security, economic vitality, and global leadership. The report also updates and expands the recommendations of NAFSA’s 2003 task force report In America’s Interest: Welcoming International Students.Restoring U.S. Competitiveness describes an international education landscape that has been transformed in recent years, to which the United States has been curiously slow to respond. Numerous countries have implemented proactive recruiting strategies to attract international students and have adjusted their immigration and work laws to create a more welcoming climate for international talent. Countries once known primarily as “sending” countries are taking significant steps to bolster their own higher education capacity. New regional competitors and international centers of instruction in higher education have emerged. Students across the globe have an ever-increasing array of choices in terms of where they pursue their studies – and later, how they will contribute their skills and knowledge in the global economy. At the same time, the United States’ capacity to participate in the growing global competition for international students and scholars has been limited by the impact of post-9/11 visa restrictions, by America’s diminished image in the world, and – perhaps most decisively – by the absence of a national strategy to protect the U.S. interest in this key asset. The report outlines the elements of such a strategy, and, in today’s context of global competitiveness, highlights two areas for particular attention: • Coordinating the efforts of the U.S. governmentThe Departments of Homeland Security, State, Commerce, and Education need strong policy direction, clear mandates, and better synergy in order to coordinate their work related to international students and scholars – whether related to recruitment, services, or monitoring – and pursue a coherent and positive course of action. • Removing excessive governmentally imposed barriersA comprehensive strategy for international student and scholar recruitment must bring the U.S. immigration system into line with the realities of the global age; articulate a balanced visa policy that facilitates access for students and scholars, consistent with security; and ensure that restrictions on access to laboratories and equipment do not hamper legitimate and important international collaboration in the sciences and technology.

The major theme of this WebSite is based upon the central concept of Cultural Democracy [ WebSite ].  It is from here other and more dynamic issues are derived.

It is from here, where you can take a long serious long look at whether this can challenge you to become an activist or a consumer of activism.   Understanding the inner workings of developing a sociocultural, or a sociopolitical movement is first never easy, but building an effective web site can often make a huge difference in creating responsiveness, and idealistic satisfaction in  volunteering and  working to serve the needs of others. The emotional results from personal commitments to become active are at times exciting when you actions creates change-especially in others ! In context, special blogs [ IE. Cultural Democracy, An Evolving Essay by Roger M. Christian ] have been employed to provide the background for basic awareness of the importance of our newly established movements and explains the real needs for additional resources or  volunteers who have something really to offer.
