EAO and elsewhere: 4th September 2007 -- There just happen to be
a number of communications events either touching the region or of
interest to the region, at the moment, so it makes sense to put these
together. Cagliero Project website up and running: The Cagliero Project
is a recent missionary initiative launched by the Australia-Pacific
province, and was announced in an earlier austraLasia (#1926). As
of now the project has its own website, which is well worth a visit
(though some with narrower bandwidth will struggle to load
images). The site is addressed directly to prospective volunteers.
www.cagliero.org.au China Province bilingual newsletter: This is worth a mention
because other than AUL and FIN where one expects to see an English
language provincial newsletter (paper or digital), other such letters
are in local languages. The China Province has opted for a Chinese and
an English version. One notes, in the recent edition, the
announcement that Fr Paul Leung is back in the Province. Paul
spent many, many years in communications in Rome, and was the man
behind the earliest server efforts at the Pisana. So one expects
that he will be active in the communications area now that he has
returned to Hong Kong. Salesian Family Vocations Web-Gateway: An interesting initiative
of the Salesian Family Vocations Team in the UK has been to put up a
website which unites all branches of the Salesian Family with web
sites, in a very simply 'tree diagram' (literally, a tree!). A kind of
localised portal to the Family. A simple but effective idea. The
website is in support of another initiative, a flyer.poster which
sports the phrase "Without each other we are no longer ourselves".
www.thesalesianfamily.co.uk Digital Virtues taking up the Tango: The concept of 'digital
virtues' and of course the content of the book by that name (cf #1915)
seems to have taken the fancy of the Latin American zone. Both
RIIAL (Red Informatica de la Iglesia America Latina) and CELAM (Latin
American Episcopal Conference) have expressed direct interest in it and
are busily translating it into Spanish. The author has been invited to
take up discussions on its implications at a Colombian Conference on
the Ethics of Communication organised by CELAM). www.lulu.com (Digital
Virtues); http://www.congresoetica.org/ _________________ AustraLasia is an
email

as an
agency for ANS based in
