2010-03-21 Чуть больше месяца осталось до Международного дня книги и авторского права, который вот уже пятнадцатый раз будет отмечаться 23 апреля по решению Генеральной конференции ЮНЕСКО. В связи с этим директор отдела творческой индустрии в целях развития Секретариата ЮНЕСКО Ж.Пуссен обратился к профильным Кафедрам ЮНЕСКО и другим партнерским организациям с призывом внести свой вкад в празднование.
Sir/Madam, On 23 April 2010 we will celebrate the fifteenth World Book and Copyright Day, proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference in 1995 to promote a greater awareness of the importance of publishing in the world. On this occasion, the National Commissions are once again kindly invited to play an essential role, in supporting or conceiving and carrying out the initiatives in accordance with their means and needs. For the 2010 edition of the Day, which will take place in the framework of the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures, UNESCO suggests to explore the topic of the role of book as a tool to combat cultural barriers. In order to download the poster of 23 April 2010 which you can use and to have access to the message from the Director-General as well as all the information regarding the origins of the Day and the activities organized all around the world on this occasion, we would like to invite you to visit the website www.unesco.org/culture/bookday I will myself remain at your disposal (

I look forward to this new opportunity for fruitful collaboration and thank you in advance for your kind support. Yours faithfully, Georges Poussin Chief Section of Creative Industries for Development Division of Cultural Expressions and Creative Industries Culture Sector By celebrating this Day throughout the world, UNESCO seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright. 23 April: a symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity. The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia where on 23 April, Saint George's Day, a rose is traditionally given as a gift for each book sold. The success of the World Book and Copyright Day will depend primarily on the support received from all parties concerned (authors, publishers, teachers, librarians, public and private institutions, humanitarian NGOs and the mass media), who have been mobilized in each country by UNESCO National Commissions, UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations, Associated Schools and Libraries, and by all those who feel motivated to work together in this world celebration of books and authors. |
