Dear friends,

Some of you must have known that for the first period of the Blogging Competition we raise the issue on ICD (intercultural dialogue).

ICD is one of British Council’s three main work focuses beside Knowledge Economy and Climate Security.

Bloggers who participate in this competition should post entries which related to the ICD theme,  those could be articles, comments on BC programmes, photos, or anything else. Don’t forget to add a specific tag ‘BC blog competition - ICD’  to your entries.

This first period competition is open for one whole month, 6 April to 6 May 2008; and the registration date is closed at 30 April 2008. Please click here to register.

We encourage you to always visit British Council’s corporate website to get more information about our activities and programmes.

Here is a list of our projects which relate to the ICD issue:

Global Xchange
School links
Basic Education Programme in Bintuni
Legal Reform
Community Facilitators Development Programme
Cultural Exchange

Happy blogging!
