UNESCO-UNAOC Global Chair held during the Milid Week Congress a meeting of its members in order to approve the Action Plan for the next two years Milid UNITWIN program.
Representatives of member universities worked in delineation of actions on the basis of an earlier document prepared jointly. The plan contains a wide range that includes training, research and promotion of Milid and exchange between members of the chair. These include developing a web site for UNITWIN program and for a Clearinghouse; the annual publication of a Year Book on Milid, the launch of a scientific publication, the annual seminars at meetings of the members of the Chair, the organization of festivals and events associated to media, conducting research, the implementation of an international PhD program and a summer school, exchange of students and scholars, and the adaptation and monitoring, by the member universities, of the implementation of UNESCO curriculum in different countries.
At the meeting, the proposal was enriched and it was defined a basis for new agreements to improve the description of activities and specific tasks. Among the issues discussed there was also the coordination of the Chair, which this year corresponds to the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and the realization of Milid Week, whose next edition will be held at Cairo University, Egypt, (2012) and Tsinghua University, China, (2014).
