  OFFICE MEMO         Budapest Seminar on New Tech          Date:  1/11/94
Dear Colleagues:

A little over two years have passed since educators from 23  nations
gathered in Prague for the Third East/West Invitational  Seminar on New
Technologies in Education. Together, we  dreamed about the future of
education in a union of East and West, and were determined to do our part
to tear down the remaining walls of  the Cold War.

As time passes, we become even more aware that the  real hope for
improving our world lies in education. Nonetheless,  educational
communities among the emerging democracies and the  West are still isolated
from each other. This means that the work we  started four years ago is
still timely and perhaps needed more than  ever. Thus, we are very pleased
to announce our next seminar, the  Fourth East/West Invitational Seminar on
New Technologies in  Education.

We will meet from May 1-6, 1994, in Budapest, a city that so uniquely
interweaves Eastern and Western cultures and has the rich educational
traditions which gave the world so many outstanding  scientists.

Over the past months, we struggled to find a site that could ensure the
adequate participation of colleagues from Eastern Europe,  Russia, and the
former Soviet republics.  We hope you agree that  Budapest is a good choice
for the  Fourth East/West Invitational  Seminar on New Technologies in
Education.

The themes of the seminar are the following:

A. Technologies and School Reform: New Tools Demand New Models
B. Redefining The Role of the Teacher in the Information Age
C. The Telecommunication Revolution
D. Environmental Studies: A Unifying Theme for Global Education
E. Technological Innovation for a Multinational Community

Attendance is by invitation only.  To receive an invitation,  we ask that you
return the enclosed form as soon as possible.  Since we are  currently
preparing the list of invited guests, please  recommend any persons you
feel would contribute to our educational goals.

We look forward to your participation in what promises to be  our most
productive meeting ever.  If you have any questions or suggestions concerning
the  content of the  seminar, please contact us via  one of the above.
			Sincerely,
 			On behalf of the International Organizing Committee:
