Vision
The vision that guides my work is a vision of a knowledge society based on cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a novel subjectivity born out of shared knowledge and human interaction.
Language is one repository for our cultural heritage, shared knowledge and human interaction. The web another. They are two different ways of communicating, sharing culture and knowledge as well as fostering human development.
As it is through language and other means of communication that we construct our perception of the world, we build the future now. In my vision, the future is inclusive and accessible to everyone.
