International Children's Book Day 2024
"Cross the Seas on the Wing of your Imagination" by Eiko Kadono

Stories travel, riding on wings,
Longing to hear the joyful beat of your heart.

I’m a traveling story. I fly anywhere.

On wings of wind, or wings of waves, or sometimes on tiny wings of sand. Of course, I also ride the wings of migratory birds. And even those of jet planes.

I sit beside you. Opening the pages, I tell you a story, the one you want to hear.

Would you like a strange and wondrous story?

Or how about a sad one, a scary one, or a funny one?

If you don’t feel like listening right now, that’s fine too. But I know someday you will. When you do, just call out, “Traveling story, come. Sit beside me!”

And I’ll fly right there.

I have so many stories to share.

How about a story of a little island tired of being alone who learned to swim and set off to find a friend?

Or the tale of a mysterious night when two moons appeared.

Or the one about Santa Claus getting lost.

Oh, I can hear your heart. It’s beating faster.

Flitter-flutter, thumpity-thump, pitter-patter, bumpety-bump.

The traveling story has jumped inside and set your heart racing.

You’ll become one yourself next, spreading your wings to fly.

And so, another traveling story is born.

Now that spring is in the air, that doesn't mean we need to jump ahead! *

For Business English Communication skills, I'm here to make sure everyone gets the individualized training they need. We all thrive when we receive help exactly where we're at and NOT at some prescribed level. I can personally guarantee that's exactly what you can expect when working with me.

So, with rhythms starting to pick back up, don't forget your long game. Be the tortoise or be the hare; just pay attention to where you're going.

Have you ever felt at a disadvantage due to your native language?

Today's a day to celebrate it, because nothing feels quite like home as your first language. It offers you insight and perspective that those from other languages may not have, so for anyone acquiring a second language, pat yourself on the back, give yourself a break, and celebrate the roots of your language journey. It's worth commemorating.



Video description: Each participant states the equivalent of "My mother language is _________ . I'm multilingual." in their native language.

For International Mother Language Day, DGACM staff at our four duty stations celebrate multilingualism in this video edited with UN Geneva. They talk about t...

Weekend getaway! What better way to get perspective on your culture than by experiencing another one? I'm lucky to have France a hop, skip and jump away, and I have to admit, it always offers creature comforts I miss and can't find in the boot. One word - sauce. But this time, Paris! What am I going to find?

Weekend fuori porta! Quale modo migliore per capire la propria cultura se non vivendone un'altra? Ho la fortuna di avere la Francia a un tiro di schioppo e devo ammettere che offre sempre delle comodità che mi mancano e non riesco a trovare nello stivale. Due parole: le salse. Ma questa volta, Parigi! Cosa troverò?
