Brazilian Paralympics set for a boost Doha: Ten secondary school students from Brazil are keen to use sports as a means to alter the way disabled people are treated in society throughout the world. The group, six male and four female, participated in the Student Ambassador Programme, one of the initiatives at the Doha Goals Forum which ended here on Wednesday.  The Brazilian project deals with the social inclusion, transformation and connection of the   disabled in society through sport. “We will use sports as a means to achieve personal development.

1. Since when have you been a conservation architect? Ans: Hey, am not an architect. Just a writer who has found a niche in writing about heritage and architecture, an ordinary citizen concerned about saving our cultural assets, since the year 1981.I was in Tanzania, East Africa for four years when I realised the importance of the built heritage as evidence of history. I was wandering around there one day when it suddenly struck me that there were no monuments to the African chiefs, only buildings built by the British. Why, I wondered. Termites had eaten away their traditional houses made with sticks and mud. It was as if there had never been any Africans in Africa! Termites had eaten away their history. Now they give me all sorts of labels... conservationist, activist, all kinds of "ists" but I still insist I am an ordinary citizen.    2. Your bio data Ans: Born in 1954, schooled in Baroda at the Convent of Jesus and Mary, did my post graduation in Statistics at the M S Uni

Conservation architect Abha Narain Lambah has been battling to save historic buildings in Mumbai for the past 12 years. She has restored many old structures to their former dignity, among them Mahatma Gandhi's former home and the JJ School of Arts, and managed to clean up entire downtown precincts, like the famous Heritage Mile. In August this year she won two Unesco awards for cultural conservation. Here, she describes what it's like to be one of the few advocates of antiquity in a fast-developing city Thursday December 6th 2007 When I first became a conservation architect, in 1995, most Indians had absolutely no idea what conservation was. At parties, when I introduced myself, people would ask: "Are you a conversation architect?" But in the last decade awareness has grown. A lot of my work has been fundraising and activism.    I moved to Mumbai in 1995, a significant time for conservation; the Bombay Heritage Regulations were introduced in that year. Before that th

Presentation and justification of the course Objectives Methodology Student profile Course structure and timing Programme Select Bibliography – Heritage Management Select Bibliography - Goa   Presentation, justification and policy statement Tourism, with around two hundred million workers, is the world’s largest industry. In the second half of the twentieth century it became the main economic driver for socio-economic development all over the planet, a tendency which, coupled with the revolution in transport, I.T. and the leisure industry, has steadily increased. Although tourism is primarily an economic activity, and as such is vital for local and social development, its repercussions go way beyond economics and affect also culture, education and even the very identity and spatial planning of an area.   India, in spite of having, perhaps, the richest, heritage, both natural and built, resources in the world, has never really successfully promoted its tourist industry and does not hav
