Unesco 2017; 2018 UNESCO 2017 United Nations Educational, Scientific and 2017 Cultural Organization UNESCO Cover Students at the Escola Primaria Unidade 7 in Maputo, Mozambique where UNESCO pilot-tested this year the VISUS (Visual Inspection for Defining the Safety Upgrading Strategies) methodology, as part of the Organization’s training to reinforce national capacities for critical infrastructure assessment. The safety of 192,000 Mozambican students from 100 schools was assessed during the first phase of this project. The UNESCO-VISUS methodology helps to assess school facilities by using a holistic, multi-hazard approach which considers site conditions, structural performance, local structural criticalities, nonstructural components and functional aspects. It is an effective decision-making tool for planning risk mitigation actions at the local, regional and national scales. © UNESCO/Jair Torres Published in 2018 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 7, place de Fontenoy, 75352 Paris 07 SP, France © UNESCO 2018 This publication is available in Open Access under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 IGO (CC-BY-SA 3.0 IGO) license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/igo/).

In March, UNESCO’s work to protect heritage in the midst of conflict, particularly in Iraq, led to the adoption of the first-ever UN Security Council Resolution solely devoted to this issue. This unprecedented, international awareness must now be translated into action. In October, the publication of the Global Education Monitoring Report 2017/8 set the direction to devise better education policies for all, at this time when an educational emergency is more apparent than ever. Also this year, 32 countries united scientific efforts under UNESCO’s coordination, to participate in the largest tsunami exercise ever held up until now. This Annual Report takes stock of these actions and many others, undertaken during the mandate of the former Director-General, Irina Bokova, to whom I wish to pay tribute. The Report also reflects the professionalism and expertise of the Organization’s staff working across the world, and translating the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’s Goals into action. The Report features UNESCO’s commitment to provide a world of justice, peace and sustainable development. Guided by the ideals of peace and progress, UNESCO represents a powerful force for transformation in the face of today’s challenges. It is also well-placed to share our wide-ranging experience and formulate the innovative ideas that the world currently needs, bearing in mind specific conditions on the ground and the need to respect local history and culture. In order to meet the challenges of today’s world, we must mobilize and work together to build a better future. That is the meaning of the words pronounced at UNESCO by Senegalese poet and former president Léopold Sédar Senghor on his 90th birthday: ‘Solidarity and sharing, justice and dignity: words that chime loudly to remind us of our duties.’ Newly elected Director-General of UNESCO Audrey Azoulay next to The Sun (1958), a ceramic mural by Joan Miró and Josep Llorens i Artigas, at the Organization’s Headquarters. © UNESCO/Christelle Alix n transform atio s l uc ive UNESCO’s Ed s mandate Created in London on 16 November 1945, UNESCO is the United Nations Organization for education, the sciences and culture.

    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO 2016 Cover The recent large-scale, systematic destruction and looting of cultural heritage has been the dominant theme at UNESCO throughout 2016. One of the Organization’s responses to these attacks on cultural heritage and cultural pluralism is the #Unite4Heritage campaign, a global movement that calls on everyone to harvest the power of culture to bring people together and to celebrate the places, objects and cultural traditions that make the world such a rich and vibrant place.

  • Remus PRICOPIE* Laudatio
    Remus PRICOPIE* Laudatio Your Excellences, Distinguished Guests, Distinguished Members of the Romanian Parliament, Dear Mr. President of the Romanian Academy, Dear Ministers, Dear Members of the Academic Community, Ladies and Gentlemen, We have, today, the honor to attend a prominent moment in the academic life of the Na- tional School of Political Studies and Public Administration – SNSPA, occasioned by the awarding of the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to Mrs. Irina BOKOVA, Director-General of UNESCO. As always, such an event is filled with emotion, and its source lies not only in the fact that an academic community is celebrating an international public figure, but also in the fact that, with the awarding and accepting of the distinction of Doctor Honoris Causa, the personali- ty becomes a member of that same academic community. But alongside emotions, there al- so come some challenges, and the main one is to capture, in only 10-15 minutes, the multiple facets of the personality celebrated here today. Although this type of challenge is not new for me, it was the first time that I felt the need for a methodological matrix. I felt that such a matrix would help me make sure that I would not overlook any of the main fields of this personality’s career accomplishments. Thus, my approach started with a simple question: “What qualities should a person prove in order to be conferred the highest academic distinction?” and the answer, although complex, came out almost by itself: a. Have an outstanding academic training; b. Have a multiple, complex professional experience; c.

Herzberger, Chairperson Dr. James A. Parr Dr. Raymond L. Williams Copyright by Rachel Anna Neff 2013 The Dissertation of Rachel Anna Neff is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements First and foremost, I wish to thank my kind and patient dissertation director, Dr. David K. Herzberger. I stopped counting the number of drafts he read and commented on, because I’m fairly certain the actual number would constitute cruel and unusual punishment. I am so grateful for the time and care he invested in my candidacy; I hope to one day be even half the mentor he has been to me. I would like to thank Dr. James A. Parr for serving on my committee, guiding me through several independent studies to improve my written Spanish, and for leading the amazing study abroad program in Spain where I worked at the Biblioteca Nacional. On a more personal note, I always appreciated how he shared his apple slices with me whenever I stopped by his office. I also wish to thank Dr. Raymond L. Williams for serving on my committee, advising me on independent study projects, and introducing me to Twitter. The topics in his courses were always fascinating, and the discussions inspiring. The end of the seminar dinners at his house are something I wish to do for my mentees in the future.

  • The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, Spotlighting the Ways Women Have Created, Challenged, and Subverted Domesticity
    BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, spotlighting the ways women have created, challenged, and subverted domesticity October 9, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 2 through Saturday, November 10 BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, a wide-ranging series spotlighting the overlooked work women take on in the home as house-workers, caretakers, and familial partners. The Domestic Is Not Free is the third edition of the ongoing Women at Work series—following Women at Work: Labor Activism in March and Women at Work: Radical Creativity in August—and highlights the historically erased and undervalued physical and emotional labor women perform, often invisibly, every day. The series considers the myriad ways in which women around the world have challenged and subverted traditional associations between gender and domesticity. Exploring the intersections of labor, race, class, and social environment, these films embody human stories of sacrifice and endurance. BAM Cinema Department Coordinator and programmer of the series Natalie Erazo explains, “I learned early on to value the domestic space and appreciate the women around me who shaped it. I hope this series will encourage viewers to acknowledge the monotony and emotional bearing of a life often relegated to being behind the scenes.” The series opens with Ousmane Sembène’s seminal Black Girl (1966—Nov 2). Screening with short films Fannie’s Film (Woods, 1979) and Fucked Like a Star (Saintonge, 2018), these films depict black women in roles of domestic service while also giving audiences access to their inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles.

  • One the Peculiarities of Modern Musical Folklore of Shirak
    Social and Economic Aspects of Education in Modern Society ART ONE THE PECULIARITIES OF MODERN MUSICAL FOLKLORE OF SHIRAK Hasmik Harutyunyan, PhD in Art Studies, Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas Gyumri Branch (Director), Shirak Centre for Armenological Studies NAS RA Hasmik Matikyan, PhD in Philology, Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas Gyumri Branch (Lecturer), Shirak Centre for Armenological Studies NAS RA DOI: https://doi.org/10.31435/rsglobal_conf/25122020/7307 Abstract. In different rural communities of Shirak region nowadays live representatives of the Armenain generation who have immigrated from Western Armenia and bear unique musical specimen. They are folk and national multi-genre song types and musical instrumental works. In the article we have touched upon 100 folk songs compiled from the folkloristic material organized in about 20 communities of Shirak region in 2015 March-April, that not only give us common notion of the song tradition of our compatriots migrated from Moush and Alashkert, in 2015, but they also certify that the tradition of folk song creativity is alive and coexists next to the very different modern cultural manifestations. Keywords: Ethnomusicology, Musical folklore, Shirak regon, traditional music, folk song, study, revival. The musical heritage of Shirak of the 19th-20th centuries has its unique place and role in the development of the Armenian national music. The rich musical folklore, imbued with the genre- stylistic features of the musical dialects of Western Armenia, became the basis for the unprecedented development of the professional music of the oral tradition and the creation of a valuable heritage. From the second half of the 19th century Armenian philologists and musician-folklorists became interested in the flourishing art of the Armenian bards and folk music players of Shirak.
