I have always considered myself a jack of all trades, master of none and a citizen of the world. This has so far allowed me to harmless work and travel this wonderful world . I am also very well skilled at learning foreign languages, and both my travelling and professional experience, allow me to communicate (speak and write) in 5 different languages. However, pure necessity, has taught me to say HELLO, THANKS and PLEASE in more than 15 languages.

Always aware and conscious, that non verbal communication represents more than 65% of the actual message we want to transmit, for years, I could not help but wonder…Why is there not an international non verbal communication code?

And the thing is, no matter if - worst scenario – the Scientific theory that postulates a “global fritting” of all electronic devises due to solar storms is happening in 2012, we are leaning too much on technology, and tend to forget the boundaries that produce communication and encounter between people.

If we add the need of jesting and miming when we travel this global valley ,and our good old English Is not enough, I firmly believe, that this new international non verbal communication code, is a must and ones is introduced in people`s conscience and day by day habits, the results can be a miracle.

But let me clear you what are talking about here: WHAT?

•The following, is a mode of use, with potential to be used international wise, based in the creation of a new INTERNATIONAL NON VERBAL COMUNICATION CODE that can be directed and used to all human kind, (not just deaf people). Although is inspired in the globalism of Esperanto , this is not comparable , as this code does not aim to share or use words, or sounds, nor is to compare with the tried Gestuno or the nowadays SSI that is directed and used only by deaf people. This is FOR ALL HUMAN KIND: HOW?

•This is non verbal code, defines different postures and forms that can be done with the human body (arms, legs, and head). •This is being registered in a method that includes pictures, figures and drawings of the human body interpreting the message or feeling that they pretend to communicate. It is a dictionary of jests with their meanings. •The election of these postures and forms in each case will be done taking in account the different cultures of the countries, communities and tribes of the world, in the search of the ones that suit the majority. The participation of all this communities – starting by the DEAF that has a lot to share in this project-will allow to give birth to a code that will respect and not interfere with the existing local , national and international recognized sign languages, but complement the actual nonverbal communication among people, to make it more effective. •This code will have different levels according to the quantity and density of the messages use. (Basic, intermediate and advanced) and has to be easy and practical. As a reference: Basic (between 0 and 100 forms) Intermediate (100 to 200 forms) Advance (no more than 500 forms)

WHERE? •The introduction and teaching of this code will preferably be directed to primary and secondary schools both public and private, as well as special education schools ones they are adapted to the educational systems of each world countries. •The use of it will potentially be global, and can be effective virtually everywhere with enough visibility •The method can make use of new technologies for his diffusion (internet, movies, press etc.)

WHY? •Will ultimately apply as AN INTERNATIONAL NON VERBAL COMUNICATION CODE for a more emphatic, practical and affective communication between all human beings of all ages races and cultures. •The new generations need an evolution of sustainable models that allow integration and productivity. •By introducing this code in primary schools along with their first language all kids around the world will have in the possibility of communicating with each other. •This kids will have an enormous body talking richness by the time they become teenagers and their bodies transform improving psico motrid activity and general confidence in themselves. •In the long term, as they will become parents they will teach their own kids and in by then a lot of physical barriers and frontiers will be eliminated due to this communication approach. •The nowadays spaces like the HUB are ideal to promote, plan and introduce this life changing projects. As a new member of the HUB I had this very simple and easy idea registered and I am trying to push it global wise. If you are a communicator, a sign language expert, an anthropologist, a teacher, a dancer, a film director, a father or just an interested human being (deaf or not) in helping creating this new international non verbal communication code for a better world, please contact me and tell me what can you do towards this simple an effective crusade .

This new international dance of the world is alive and waiting for you with open arms for its premier debut.
