[EDLING:1120] [Fwd: Reminder: UNESCO Register of Good Practices in Language Preservation - Call for Submissions]

[Tamara Warhol]

 From UNESCO . . .

Dear Madam, Dear Sir,

 

Please allow me to bring to your attention once more the ongoing Call 
for Submissions to the 'Register of Good Practices in Language 
Preservation,' a database project that was launched by UNESCO's 
Endangered Languages Programme in the summer of 2005 
(www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices 
<http://www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices>). 

The purpose of this Register is to collect and make accessible 
experience reports concerning any kind of language preservation effort, 
from speaker communities, governmental and non-governmental 
organizations, academic experts, etc. Our goal is to provide a free 
online practice-based source of information as an aid and encouragement 
for future language preservation projects.

 

To this end, I would like to invite you to submit any language 
preservation-related projects that you or your organization are / have 
been involved in to our Register, in order to share the knowledge and 
experience gained with other current and future project agents.

 

Please consult our website 
(www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices 
<http://www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices>) for 
further information about the Register, as well as to download the 
Register submission form for entries; or contact me at the E mail 
address given below for any questions.

 

Thank you, and best regards,

Barbara Soukup
