Visiting various regions of the world enriches your life as you get to step outside of your comfort zone and discover destinations other than your home. Worldwide ERC investigates the value of allowing children to travel alongside you and see the sites, but more importantly, to experience what occurs when things don't go according to plan. Giving children these experiences encourages patience, understanding of how to be flexible with schedules, and developing confidence when confronting an issue at hand. Refer to the article highlighted in our “Good Reads” for more information on why children should be involved in travel and decisions made along the way. https://lnkd.in/g8inqnhU

BuddyMigrants - A perfect fit for TCNs integration action plan. The strategy's focus on creating buddy systems and promoting intercultural dialogue resonated with their experiences and observations. There are few key aspects everyone working with TCNs or newcommers should take into account, and these are: pairing newcomers with local volunteers, organizing cultural exchange events, providing language learning opportunities through community interaction, encourage local community to facilitate access to local services and resources.

R U OK? Any Day. Life happens and it’s important to check on one another, not just on R U OK? day, but all year round. Research has found that people who are regularly asked if they are okay feel more supported, connected and cared about. R U OK? inspires and empowers Australians to meaningfully connect with the people around them. So, whilst today (Thursday September 12) is the National Day of Action, we encourage you to ask R U OK? *any* day of the year - because a conversation could change a life. R U OK?

What makes somewhere a great place to live? I’m feeling grateful today. My home town, Horsham, has come 14th in the list of best places to live in the UK. This list is produced annually, and Horsham often ranks highly. It’s not particularly beautiful. So why? Recently I’ve been working on ELT materials that help young people to develop the traits they’ll need as adults. The traits that will enable them to be future changemakers. The traits that will help them create a better world. And it’s broadly the same traits that make my town, Horsham, such a great place to live. It’s principled. It’s a relatively safe, crime-free place where people can trust each other. It’s collaborative. People and organisations are great at coming together to get stuff done. It’s caring. Local people are overwhelming supportive of the families at our local asylum seeker hotel, and of anyone else in need. They’re a generous, kind-hearted bunch. It’s resilient. When headwinds blow, Horsham adapts. Our Saturday market attracts punters from far and wide, avoiding the boarded-up ghost-town vibe of many UK town centres.    It’s active. There are environmental groups, running clubs, art classes. Hundreds of ways to get involved in the life of the town. What are the traits that you value in the place where you live? Would you like to develop the same traits in your students? ------------ If you need an author to write ELT materials that will help students to thrive in a changing world, get in touch.

As part of National Reconciliation Week, the Winslow Group has launched its online Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Appreciation training. Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. As Australians, we can all be proud to be the home of one of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth, extending back more than 65,000 years. Our Cultural Appreciation training course aims to increase employees’ awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their culture. Cultural awareness is a first step towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural competency, which refers to an ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. The focus of our training is to provide background and context, and then to move into appropriate behaviour from Winslow employees. Each person at Winslow is empowered to make good decisions to look after each other as family, be accountable to each other and be committed to operating safely. It’s the Winslow Way. #Winslow #TheWinslowWay #WinslowLearning #WinslowCommunity #NRW2024 #NationalReconciliationWeek2024

We have been busy making memories of our stay here in America🇺🇸. I have a lot of very interesting information to share. First, people make money over here, a lot of money in that case. The minimum wage & policies applies. You find in different states the minimum wage ranges between 16-18dollars per hour. If you are a professional in a marketable field, you stand to get from 70dollars per hour. I have not mentioned the jobs availabilities, everywhere it's we are hiring. Then there's high quality of life & when I say quality, I mean it. Here polished shoes can last for months, I doubt if shoe polish companies make any profits. There's very minimal bacteria in the air, dust is something they read in books. Road protocols are followed, Hospital systems are top notch. Mental healthcare is a basic need here (though in a high rise & very extreme). School systems works. People don't have fences and their doors are next to the road. Homeless people are very many in the state where I am, but they are paid & have a card to access food, yes they eat at McDonalds. They don't steal from people. Well, drugs may influence them to crime (Addiction & addiction influenced crimes are at a rise here) but they are not people you fear while walking along the streets, they are respected we shared buses with them etc, I imagined a street family in Kenya boarding matatus every other person would alight. When I was growing up, they referred to America🇺🇸 as land of honey & milk. Well, I have not come across any beehives or milk bars, but I now understand what they meant👍. This is my personal experience and I will keep sharing it, by the time am done with many videos of our America🇺🇸 encounters, you will understand what I mean. But, there's a but, people don't collect money here, you are more likely to pick a coin from the ground in Kenya than America. If you are lazy, don't even dare America. "Tafakari hayo" There's ofcourse the flip side of 🇺🇸, like roadrage, shootings, Mental induced crime, Addictions etc, however I want to focus on the positives which are things we miss in our 3rd world 🌎 country. youtu.be/oIepnqIu4mg… Enjoy !!

Thrilled to be in Cape Town, South Africa, this week at the Global Alliance of Cities for Road Safety (ACRoS) City-to-City Exchange! From March 5th to 8th, 2024, I'll be joining participants from around the world to collaborate on enhancing road safety in our different cities. Hosted by the UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), this event promises to ignite innovative ideas and foster impactful interventions towards road safety. The Global Alliance of Cities for Road Safety (ACRoS) was created by the UNRSF – UN Road Safety Fund to support the exchange of lessons learnt and inspiring practices among cities in Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. It aims to become a one-stop shop for cities to engage in capacity building, receive technical advice, and benefit from city-to-city knowledge exchange. The objectives of ACRoS are: 📌 To provide a platform for cities to learn in order to find the most appropriate local solutions to solve their road safety challenges while contributing to climate goals. 📌 To inspire and build the capacity of cities to improve road safety management in alignment with the safe systems approach, complementary to the national policy framework. 📌 To reduce road crash fatalities through catalytic pilot initiatives at the city and neighborhood level with strong participation of vulnerable groups. 📌 To secure additional investment in road safety and sustainable mobility to scale up interventions at the city level. 📌 To bring together existing road safety initiatives to ensure synergies and peer learning. As we strive to make our cities safer and more sustainable, I look forward to learning from the other cities how best they're tackling their road safety challenges.
