Book on knowledge societies translated by Cetic.br into Spanish

The book “Renewing the Knowledge Societies Vision for Peace and Sustainable Development” has been translated into Spanish by the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br). Authored by Robin Mansell and Gaëtan Tremblay, and already available in Portuguese and now also in ePub format, the publication aims to contribute ideas that promote inclusive and equitable knowledge societies in a transformative context. The book is based on a report commissioned by UNESCO for the preparatory event review of the ten-year World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS+10).

Responsible for the translation of the book into Portuguese and Spanish - the original was written in English - Cetic.br is the first study center on the Information Society recognized by UNESCO. Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br, remembers that “universal access to information is a basic requirement for knowledge societies, but this alone is not enough. Skill development, for example, is fundamental as it allows information to be transformed into knowledge.
