TitleCall for Submissions: Endangered Language Programme
Body
From:
http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-2110.html

Please allow me to bring to your attention a newly-issued Call for Submissions to a database project that has been launched by UNESCO's Endangered Languages Programme: the 'Register of Good Practices in Language Preservation' (www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices). The purpose of this Register is to collect experience reports concerning any kind of language preservation effort, from speaker communities, governmental and non-governmental organisations, academic experts, etc. Our goal is to provide a free online practice-based source of information as an aid and encouragement for future language preservation projects.

To this end, I would like to solicit your support in the following ways:

(1) If you are (or have been) involved in a language preservation project, please consider submitting to our Register, to share your knowledge and experience gained with other current and future project agents.

(2) Please disseminate the Register's URL (www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices) and our call for submissions as widely as possible, using your relevant networks and contacts, so that we can reach any persons and organisations who may be interested in submitting.

(3) If you have administrative access to any websites related to language preservation, please consider setting up links to our Register website (www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices)

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,
Barbara Soukup
