pre-school and primary to secondary schools. It is relevant for all
members of the education community: pupils, teachers, local

States, with at least three million pupils taking part in joint
educational activities by 2010
- To encourage language learning, innovative ICT-based content, services and better teaching techniques and practices

Participation Programme
The UNESCO Participation Programme
provides direct assistance to initiatives undertaken by Member States
in the Organization's fields of competence, in line with the priorities
that they themselves determine.
Assistance under the Participation Programme is provided to Member
States or Associate Member States upon requests submitted in principle
through National Commissions (requests from individuals cannot be
entertained). International NGOs may also benefit from assistance under
the Participation Programme.
Among other things, assistance under the Participation Programme
may comprise the provision of fellowships and study grants. Should the
Director-General approve the request, the UNESCO Fellowships Section
administers and manages it and ensures related follow-up action.
Queries about possibilities for applying for a fellowship under the Participation Programme should be addressed directly to the National Commission of the candidate's country.

The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is an
intergovernmental organisation created by Commonwealth Heads of
Government to encourage the development and sharing of open
learning/distance education knowledge, resources and technologies. COL
is helping developing nations improve access to quality education and
training.
The Commonwealth
is a voluntary association of more than 50 independent sovereign
states, which provide support to each other, and work together toward
international goals. The Commonwealth is described as a "family" of
nations, originally linked together in the British Empire, and now
building on their common heritage in language, culture and education,
which enables them to work together in an atmosphere of greater trust
and understanding than generally prevails among nations.
Bringing
together some 1.7 billion people of many faiths, races, languages,
traditions and levels of economic development, the Commonwealth
represents almost one-third of the world's population.
