CULTURE

Worldwide partners

The success of UNESCO’s work on languages and multilingualism depends on the effective mobilisation of UNESCO’s Member States and field offices, regional and national networks, civil society and private partners, scientific institutions, foundations, intergovernmental organizations.

It also depends on the creation of a variety of new partnerships. Special attention needs to be given to developing synergies, alliances and networks within the UNESCO family, including Associated Schools (ASPnet) and University Chairs, as well as with specialised networks and institutes, especially in the field of research, monitoring and policy development, within and beyond the UN system.

The International Year of languages 2008 will provide an exceptionally favourable framework for the launching of unprecedented partnerships.
