[MLE] Language, Education and the Millennium Development Goals Conference - Nov. 9-11, 2010
Dear MLE friends
First of all: a happy new year to you! The first MLE related announcement that I received this year is quite exciting:
The 1st International Conference on "Language, Education and the Millennium Development Goals" will be held November 9-11 in Bangkok, Thailand sponsored by a consortium of organizations from the Asia Multilingual Education Working Group, particularly: UNESCO, UNICEF, SEAMEO, Mahidol University, SIL International and Save the Children.I hope several people from India will be able to attend.
Join with representatives from government and intergovernmental agencies, NGOs, academics and local community organizations during a three-day forum to dialogue about the state of development of ethnolinguistic minorities, the relevance of local languages, and how to develop programs and policies that better reach these underserved groups.
Please read the attached conference announcement for the purpose and objectives of the conference. More information on the conference program, fees, and venue will be available in February 2010. Please contact: s.custer@unescobkk.org or j.lindeberg@unesco.org for more information.
Regards,
Karsten
