¡AVE!.

We want to share with yo this great notice.


IT HAS BEEN OPENED IN INTERNET THE WORLD DIGITAL LIBRARY...., THE WDL.

A GREAT PRESENT FROM THE UNESCO FOR MANKIND!






"
The World Digital Library (WDL) makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from countries and cultures around the world.
The principal objectives of the WDL are to:
  • Promote international and intercultural understanding;
  • Expand the volume and variety of cultural content on the Internet;
  • Provide resources for educators, scholars, and general audiences;
  • Build capacity in partner institutions to narrow the digital divide within and between countries. 
The WDL makes it possible to discover, study, and enjoy cultural treasures from around the world on one site, in a variety of ways. These cultural treasures include, but are not limited to, manuscripts, maps, rare books, musical scores, recordings, films, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings.

Items on the WDL may easily be browsed by place, time, topic, type of item, and contributing institution, or can be located by an open-ended search, in several languages. Special features include interactive geographic clusters, a timeline, advanced image-viewing and interpretive capabilities. Item-level descriptions and interviews with curators about featured items provide additional information.

Navigation tools and content descriptions are provided in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Many more languages are represented in the actual books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, and other primary materials, which are provided in their original languages.

The WDL was developed by a team at the U.S. Library of Congress, with contributions by partner institutions in many countries; the support of the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and the financial support of a number of companies and private foundations.

Segovia Romana 2010.

¡AVE!.

With a big sorrow we have to tell you that this year 2010 is not going to be celebrated the SEGOVIA ROMANA Festival.

We have received a notification from the Promotion and Comunication Department of Segovia.

What the told us, is that is just a temporary suspension, so we still have the hope that the Festival will be celebrated in 2011.

We want to encourage the Council of Segovia and its Tourist Department to continuing working in SEGOVIA ROMANA.

To make notice of the interest for the festival, we have created a page in facebook where you can be a fan.

¡AVE!

In the last saturday 13th of february, we assist to the Introductory Course of Sign Language organized by Kapikua's Association.



The Course lasted from 11 to 13:30 hours but the time flew.

Its was really interesting ans funny, and we learned a lot of things about the deafs people and of course we learned a lot of sings. We try to not forget them.

We want to thank you to Paloma that was a great teacher, to Veronica and all the people of Kapicua, and we want to encourage them to continue working with the childrens. It is allways necessary people that works with the childrens like them.

On our side, we have a new objetive. Try to approach the roman and medieval world thru our activities to all the people that could be interesting on them, and we are willing to achieve this, jumping over all the barriers that we could find.
