"We are a UNESCO Club, and wish to protect the coasts of our beautiful island from the predatory appetites of tourism promoters and developers."
"We are preparing a theatre tour to promote the prevention of HIV/AIDS in rural areas."
"Our country having recently emerged from a bloody conflict, our Club would like to participate in the reconciliation process by organizing a Round Table on tolerance".
"It will also have as a goal the evaluation of the contribution of the UNESCO Clubs leaders in the implementation of the International Decade for the promotion of culture, non-violence and peace to the benefit of the children of the world (2001-2010)."

The enumeration of projects sent to the Secretariat of WFUCA could go on forever. Those letters are very often sent with a request for documentation.
Many clubs, not especially the most isolated ones, do not have access to the necessary documentation for their projects. The digital divide between the North and the South is quite a reality, and even in the North, some clubs appear cut off from any information on UNESCO's issues.

In order to bridge this gap, WFUCA decided to publish (on line and in paper version) this special issue of "Confluences - The WFUCA Courier", devoted to the publications and pedagogic resources edited by UNESCO and useful for our Network. The first Section presents the regular publications providing information on the priorities and programs of UNESCO. The second one presents a series of documents and publications edited by the Sectors on precise topics. The last Section concerns interactive documents that facilitate teamwork and thus allow for collective action. We selected them according to a survey of the primary interests of the Associations, Centres and UNESCO Clubs all over the world.

This is why we present 30 UNESCO publications able to answer the needs of our members. Better informed, they will conduct their projects in a more efficient way. These documents will also allow them to better align their projects with the current UNESCO Programs.

Clearly, this is a document in progress, which will have to be regularly revised, according to new publications of UNESCO and requests from our National Federations and UNESCO Clubs.

By publishing this Manual, WFUCA pursues its role of informing and training its members in close co-operation with UNESCO.

Let us congratulate our two young trainees Katharina Oehm and Pierre-Yves Hourmant who contributed greatly to the realization of this work within WFUCA Secretariat.
They went on this first "tour".
Some others will take the relay in order to keep, year after year, this "Permanent Guide to pedagogic resources" alive.
