Sharing Web Resources

This week I’ve explored Communication and Information links outside my initial research assignment. The links are http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/ and http://www.unric.org/en/latest-un-buzz/28209-world-radio-day-2013.  This link covered information such as WORLD RADIO DAY.  February 13, 2013 was the day UNESCO celebrates Radio Day.

“On 13 February, UNESCO celebrates radio as a medium vital to its mission of creating a more peaceful, more sustainable and more inclusive future for all. World Radio Day is an opportunity to celebrate radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to promote diversified content, access to information and freedom of expression over the airwaves”.

Radio can introduce the audience to new information around the world related to early childhood.

Many people around the world lack the use of an internet but more have access to a radio. The Radio is one of the greatest resource for information around the world. 

I also explored Spotlight on Memory of the World heritage: The horrors of the Holocaust and why it's sufficient in teaching children empathy for others. Educators teaching for example about Ann  Frank can help young children learn to understand that they must respect everyone regardless of religion, race, or ethnicity.

In exploring the web site I learned about World Radio Day. I never knew a day like this existed. I love listening to the radio so it was a delight to read that there is such a day.
