[UN SPIDER] UNOOSA/ UN-SPIDER Promotional Movie

[Michele KASDANO]

Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to view our UNOOSA / 
UN-SPIDER promotional movie now posted on YouTube. 
Produced in April of this year, the movie embodies yet another step in the 
burgeoning UN-SPIDER awareness-raising campaign, capturing the essence of 
what UN-SPIDER is all about. It taps into our efforts and activities as 
part of the U.N. Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) framework, 
providing valuable insight into our programme and highlighting the ways in 
which we go about implementing our mandate. 
Additionally, it offers a brief overview of the disaster management and 
space communities, depicting ways in which these two can be brought 
together. Throughout this short video, you will also witness theory morph 
into practice, as it guides you through the sequence of events and 
UN-SPIDER’s response following the Namibia 2009 floods. 
Moreover, it familiarizes the viewer with the unfolding version of the 
UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal and with the means to navigate through the 
prospective Space Application Matrix. Finally, the movie introduces the 
people and minds behind UN-SPIDER and illustrates the ways in which their 
work has been contributing to the prominence and success of the UN-SPIDER 
Programme. 
You can locate it by searching for UN-SPIDER on YouTube or by accessing

Naturally, those of you with a good internet connection (bandwidth) are 
encouraged to choose and view the High Definition (HD) version of the 
movie.

We hope that this movie will prove to be up to your expectations and that 
it will indeed help get our message through. We also smile upon efforts to 
forward this movie to members of your respective organizations and support 
us in its dissemination.
