Eemail from : Joint Programme Commission NGOs-UNESCO, Paris on Science and Ethics

To : NGOs working in education, science and/or ethics with UNESCO, Bangkok

Dear Friends,

We have been asked by UNESCO to try to connect with NGOs in the region covered by the UNESCO Regional Office for Asia and Pacific countries in Bangkok. We wish to promote an exchange of information on subjects that concern all of us in science and ethics. For several years now our Science and ethics Programme Commission at UNESCO headquarters in Paris has been working on this subject, with special focus on bioethics. We would like to find ways to enrich our own discussions with viewpoints and focuses from NGOs working with UNESCO regional offices in the rest of the world.

For a start, Darryl Macer of the UNESCO Bangkok Education sector has suggested we ask you if you would be interested in making a connection with us for future collaboration. If this idea appeals to you, we could next work together on the best ways of communicating and exchanging information with you. For example, we have produced several booklets on bioethics that we could make available on-line, and you may also have work that you could send us.

We look forward to hearing from you, with thanks,

For the Joint Programme Commission Science and ethics

Gwen Terrenoire, in charge of this project
