Dear UN Advocates,
On behalf of UNESCO National Commission for UNESCO and the United Nations Association of the Philippines (UNAP), we would like to convey our deep gratitude for your continuing cooperation with us through the YES 4 MDGs project and International Youth Day conference.
This year, we have developed a project on ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) with an aim of promoting awareness of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in the Philippines. Further encouraging ASPnet teachers, UNAP/UNYAP members to develop and share ESD/MDGs educational practices and methods and promoting interactions among young people in the Philippines.
Following UNESCO HQ’s initiative on First Collection of Good Practices for Quality Education in 2008 and UNAPs Youth Empowerment Series for MDGs we would like to continue and build on this positive momentum this year. The following topics will be discussed:
1. UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development
2. YES 4 MDGs – Action Plans and Priorities
3. UNYAP Plan of Action for the 10th IYD
4. Delegation to the WFUNA World Congress in Korea on August 10-13, 2009
In this regard, we would like to invite you to our activity entitled “YES4ESD” (Young Educators Seminar for Education for Sustainable Development) to share your expertise and present the current situation of ASPnet/ UNYAP activities in your own school, with focus on ESD and MDG education. This activity will be held on April 27-28, 2009 at St. Benedictine Nuns Formation Center, Salong, Calapan City. If you accept our invitation, UNESCO will cover all costs concerning foods (for two days) and accommodations for one (1) night only. Please send the attached reply slip on or before April 15, 2009 at sarviola2002@yahoo.com.
For further information, please contact the undersigned at mobile no. 09154350900 or Ms. Jo Esqueta, UNESCO National Commission, G/F Department of Foreign Affairs Building 2350 Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City with Tel. No. (632) 834-3447/834-4887. Thank you very much!

ReplyDeleteMuch like, the above dedicated person. I am also interested in helping in anyway I can. I am especially interested in holding another HIV/AIDS seminar in Calapan City. I am a Black American Peace Corps Volunteer from the United States and I would like to hold another HIV/AIDS event in our city if at all possible. I volunteer at Jose J. Leido Jr. Memorial National High School; however, I feel as if perhaps the event would be more effective if held at Divine Word college. I can be contacted at chismbrandon@yahoo.com. I am very passionate about this endeavor and would appreciate any feedback you all could give me concerning the matter. Thank you,
