two messages from non-members (Chornobyl and
Pedagogy
Dear AAUSers,
I am forwarding two messages from outside the list. One is from
the Embassy of Belarus, regarding Chornobyl (minus the html graphics
in the original). I do not know anything about the foundation for
Chornobyl/Chernobyl that they are endorsing. The second is from a
Ukrainian researcher who is looking for information on a conference
that must have been mentioned earlier on the list. Please respond to
them, not the list or me.
Regards,
Rob DeLossa

The
Eurasia Center and its
Friendship Society of Washington D.C.
in
cooperation with His Excellency Mikhail Khvostov,
Ambassador
of Belarus
and Ms. Kathleen Ryan of the Chernobyl's Children's Project
International
invites you and your colleagues to:
Chernobyl
20th Anniversary: Honor the Past, Build the
Future
Wednesday, February 22, 2006
5:45
8:00 p.m.
At
The Embassy of Belarus
1619
New Hampshire Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20009
On Wednesday,
February 22, 2006, 5:45 P.M. The Eurasia Center and its Friendship
Society invite you to learn about the continued devastating affects
caused by the explosion of the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in 1986. 190
tons of toxic materials were expelled into the atmosphere as the
nuclear plant burned for 10 days. This was 100 times more radiation
than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Almost 400,000
citizens were forced to leave their homes with over 2,000 towns and
villages bulldozed to the ground. Twenty-two [22] per cent of the
Belarus land mass was contaminated with 70 percent of the total
fallout deposited there. Radiation spread over large parts of the
Ukraine and Russia and into Scandinavia, Poland, Baltic states,
Germany, Switzerland, France, and England.
At 5:45 P.M. there
will be opportunities for informal One-to-One discussions with His
Excellency Mikhail Khvostov, Ambassador of Belarus and Ms. Kathleen
Ryan of the Chernobyl's Children's Project International. At 6:15 P.M
The Ambassador will speak about the long-term ecological, societal,
and political costs of the accident. Mr. Pavel Shidlovsky, Counselor,
will review the economic devastation of the disaster, continuing
recovery costs, and international Chernobyl cooperation.
Chernobyl Reactor,
1986
The Chernobyl disaster is considered to be the largest technological
disaster in the history of mankind. The picture was taken shortly
after the accident, before the shroud was built over the blast
area.
Integral to this
entire effort will be extensive television coverage. The Evening's
proceedings and reception will be videotaped for rebroadcast on the
INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR. This highly respected business show is seen
weekly on 55 American television stations and is broadcast over NTDTV
Satellite Network to 132 countries.
The One-on-One
session and reception that follows the presentations will feature
special foods, beverages, and music of Belarus.
The entire evening will be highlighting the work of CCPI. For 15 years
this organization has been on the front lines of providing
humanitarian and developmental help to children, families, and
communities impacted by the Chernobyl accident. Thirty percent of the
evening¹s donations will be directed to the work of the CCPI with
the balance for humanitarian projects of The Eurasia Center. Further
information about the International Conference on the Occasion
of the 20th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster will also be
presented. The Conference will be held in Minsk and Gomel, Belarus,
from April 19 till 21, 2006. For additional information about the
Conference, and to register, visit Belarus Chernobyl Committee website
(www.chernobyl.by/data/rus/news/enu20th).

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you to inquire whether teachers can participate
in Workshop on Education Issues which is to take place in March 2006
in Prague.
I teach in the Institute and I am very interested in Educational
issues. I am writing a thesis paper on Education. I have several
articles on Education devoted to an English pedagogue.
I am a citizen of Ukraine.
I would really appreciate your answer.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Svitlana Muravska
