The Third Global Seminar on Linguistic Diversity, Globalization and Development
Posted on
The BA organizes on 28 and 29 November 2010 the Third Global Seminar on Linguistic Diversity, Globalization and Development, with support from the UNESCO Department of Public Information, Linguamón-House of Languages and Roberto Marinho Foundation.
Over the past few years, voices urging the recognition of the world’s diverse languages, almost 7,000, emerged. The United Nations proclaimed 2008 the International Year of Languages, in an aim to foster linguistic and cultural diversity. The European Union also dedicated the year 2008 to intercultural dialogue, and UNESCO declared 2010 as the International Year of the Rapprochement of Cultures.
This Global Seminar seeks to initiate dialogue on the importance of media, broadcasting and new technologies for linguistic diversity.
Live webcast of all the Seminar proceedings will be available through the BA Webcast Service here.
