APCEIU has recently published the 2007 spring issue (No. 18) of EIU English magazine, SangSaeng, on the theme of “Language Diversity, in response to UNESCO’s efforts in preserving and promoting linguistic and cultural diversity.

Stories from <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />Thailand, the Philippines, Bhutan and China illustrate various revitalization programmes that raise hope for many endangered languages around the world.

  The magazine also features a modest proposal from the Pacific on ‘Building a Diverse, Global Community Through Education’ by John R. Haglelgam, a former president of Federated States of Micronesia; a special peace story on ‘Smiling Children Belie the Tension in Kashmir’; and an interview with Jang Hwa-Jung, the General Manager of Samsung Children’s Museum. <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />
