Second
International Colloquium José Martí: FOR A CULTURE OF NATURE
The
Second International Colloquium José Martí: FOR A CULTURE OF
NATURE will be celebrated at the International Conference
Center of Havana on June 9-11, 2010 and has as central
purpose to reiterate in an urgent way the need to study in
depth themes that are essential to the survival of the
Planet, favoring the welfare of mankind, preserving the
environment and contributing to a sustainable peace,
progress and development.
The
purpose of the organizers is to achieve a plural and
all-including participation without distinctions or
exclusions as a form of multiplying the extent and influence
of exchanges in Latin America, the Caribbean and other
regions of the world, thus granting it universal meaning and
content.
Man
–main modifier of nature– will be the center of the
analyses. The economic and social issues in relation with
sustainable development will necessarily have an outstanding
place in the Colloquium, as well as the references to the
immense cultural wealth and legacy of Mankind.
Other purposes of this meeting will be the impulse to
instrument and favor a universal culture that will interpret
the dialectic relation between man and nature through the
analysis and acquaintance with the most diverse experiences
of community work, the teaching programs of environmental
education, the role of the mass media, the creation of both
regional and international electronic networks and the
strengthening of cooperation links between organizations and
institutions.
In
like manner, the Second International Colloquium José Martí:
FOR A CULTURE OF NATURE seeks to make a contribution to the
necessary connection among the different disciplines of
knowledge, particularly between the so called social and
humanistic sciences and the natural and exact sciences,
contrasting the inseparable union of the problems and
concepts provided by the relations among human beings and
the relations of the latter with the natural environment,
source of life.

5. SEMINAR ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SMALL
ISLAND STATES AND THEIR COASTAL RESOURCES
The
strategy of the Sector of Social and Humanistic Sciences of
UNESCO for the development of the small island states was
launched immediately after the International Meeting for the
checking of the implementation of the Action Program for the
Sustainable Development of the Small Island States that took
place in the Island of Mauritius in January 2005. In the
case of the Caribbean, the thematic emphasis of the UNESCO
program has been identified as “Sustainable Development and
Coastal Resources of the Small Island States of the
Caribbean”. The Caribbean Sea and its coastal resources are
the key for the development of the small island countries of
the region, and therefore the coastal resources are widely
acknowledged as a critical element for the economic, social,
cultural and political processes of the Caribbean.
With
the celebration of this Seminar, the José Martí Project of
World Solidarity makes an effective contribution to this
UNESCO program, in coordination with the UNESCO Office for
the Caribbean with headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica and the
Regional Cultural Office for Latin America and the Caribbean
(ORCAL), with headquarters in Havana, Cuba.
Likewise it establishes an active relation with the Movement
of Social Transformation
(MOST) of that organization.
6. YOUTH FORUM: A WORLD AHEAD
Sponsored by the youth and student organizations and the
Movimiento Juvenil Martiano.
