Message from Mr Koïchiro Matsuura, Director General of UNESCO on the occasion of World Poetry Day, March 21, 2009

Linguistic diversity is one of the most valuable forms assumed cultural diversity. Because they are able to capture the infinite variety of the world and lend themselves to translation, the language can articulate the uniqueness and universality. This link is nowhere more powerful than in poetry. Every language has its own.

By celebrating this Day we return to the spirit of the message in the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005), which considers the diversity as an evolving cultural and creative expression.
Poetry contributes to creative diversity by questioning constantly renewed the way we use the words and things, our ways of perceiving and interpreting reality.

Through its associations, and metaphors, and its own grammar, poetic language is therefore another facet of the dialogue between cultures. Diversity

dialogue, free movement of ideas by word, creativity and innovation is evident that the World Poetry Day is also an invitation to reflect on the power of language and the flourishing of creative capacities of each person.

Now that just concluded the celebration of the 60 th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, let's hope this day will also attest to the universal aspiration to a world reconciled around the values \u200b\u200bof freedom and diversity.
