IASWECE Newsletter
December 2015
Dear colleagues and friends, 

Just before the year ends we would like to send you some news about our work and about interesting events in several countries (Armenia, Israel, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey). 

Of special interest is also a survey by the IASWACE mandate group on cultural diversity, where you can find some thoughts and questions to contemplate during the upcoming seasonal festival ("What are the treasures of your culture for the future?"). 

We wish you all what is mentioned in a quote in this article:
"The experience, the possibility for something to happen to us or to touch us, requires an interruption gesture, a gesture that is almost impossible these days: to think more slowly, to look more slowly, and to listen more slowly...."

Warm wishes on behalf of the IASWECE Coordinating Group
Philipp Reubke
