children with disabilities. In 1989, the Special Education Unit of UNESCO launched a new initiative in parent and community education. The aim was to test the feasibility of producing video programmes in developing countries which could be used to inform families and communities about ways of overcoming children’s disabilities. Two consultants - Roy McConkey (Scotland) and Sally Allan (Zimbabwe) - worked alongside partner agencies in Uganda, Malawi and Sri Lanka. This Manual outlines the rationale behind the project and how it was carried out. The training packages produced in the three countries are described along with details of their use. Information is also given about other video-based packages and training resources designed for use in developing countries. Practical details are provided on the organisation of local courses and in the use of video-equipment. A final section examines the steps involved in devising training inputs." (Introduction)

at span a variety of ethnic minorities and countries. Each case study presents the different cultural, political, and economic conditions that figure prominently in the media's role in ethnic survival or demise. The contributors, many of them internationally regarded journalists, primarily study the print and broadcast media that minorities have established for their communities. They focus on previously neglected minority media in the United States (Hispanic and Native), Great Britain (Welsh), Ireland (Irish), Canada (Native), Australia (Aboriginal), Israel (Romanian), France (Occitan and Basque), Greenland (Inuit), Chile (Native), and Algeria (Berber). They analyze this phenomena on many levels, defining crucial terms, considering different audiences, and contrasting ethnic and mainstream media." (Publisher description)
