*SARASWATI DAY - gloBALIzation*

This program celebrates Balinese, Indonesian and all of the world's
languages as we move into a culture where mother tongues can thrive -- and
be nourished -- along with national and international ones. Monocultures of
any type are not sustainable. We need to manage the world's languages in a
holistic and sustainable way just as we do with other natural resources,
before too many more languages become endangered species. *November 27,
2015*
*Simultaneously and Live Streamed *

*9:00 pm in Bali  2:00 pm in Brussels, Stockholm, The Hague, and Berlin
3:00 pm in Helsinki 8:00 am in Washington DC/New York taped from Melbourne
