As facilitators, have you ever wondered how much emotions should we actually bring into our facilitation sessions? How does the mood of others affect the way we facilitate?
In celebration of FNS's 20th anniversary, me and Angeline Chng will be doing a learning session on Emotional Agility in Process Facilitation.
In this 3-hour learning session, we'll be borrowing concepts from Newfield Ontological Coaching to explore the undervalued role of emotions and how it can shape your facilitation presence & effectiveness. We'll also explore ways which we can be more intentional with how we are feeling amidst the intense focus on processes.
No promises that you will feel better after this but we promise you'll have more "choices" thereafter.
Today marks the first in a series of ‘Making Sense of the Gap’ online network events for our members where we'll discuss all things awarding gaps and, more specifically, how to eliminate them. To coincide with the launch, we have also published a case study by Dr Hardeep Basra, Associate Professor at De Montfort University, to support QAA Members in reimagining their PG Certs to address inequality in higher educational practice.
QAA Members can read the case study on our Membership Resources Site:

FSWC and Hillel Ontario are thrilled to be offering a new educational workshop for university and college leaders to tackle the growing scourge of antisemitism on Ontario campuses.
This initiative combines Hillel Ontario’s acute understanding of the campus environment with FSWC’s proven expertise in antisemitism education, providing a comprehensive, actionable approach to combat anti-Jewish hate on campus.
Together, we will equip post-secondary administrations with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively address antisemitism and to foster a campus culture of inclusivity and respect for all students.

In our new report, Innovative and Diverse Charter Models: Addressing Policy Challenges, NACSA seeks to answer this very question. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e_SWrGqx
I have just read Lee Elliot Major's thought-provoking report "A Generation at Risk: Rebalancing Education in the Post-Pandemic Era" for the Nuffield Foundation ( https://lnkd.in/eTExFfK6. )
The report highlights the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our children's education and underscores the crucial role primary schools can play in mitigating these effects. Asa leadership team, we will be considering the following key elements of the report and how these feed into our actions moving forward:
Equity Matters: The pandemic widened the socio-economic gap in education - prioritise targeted support for disadvantaged pupils to ensure all children have the opportunity to thrive.
Social and Emotional Skills are equally important as academics - integrate activities that nurture cooperation, empathy, and focus.
Enrichment Activities are crucial - consider an "enrichment guarantee" to offer all pupils access to arts, sports, and cultural experiences that boost well-being, social skills, and academic performance.
Addressing Learning Loss: Studies point to significant gaps, particularly in maths - explore effective interventions like high-quality tutoring programmes, including university-led initiatives.
Mental Health & Wellbeing: We must prioritise pupil well-being - implement programmes, provide access to professionals, and foster supportive environments. Regular well-being surveys can help tailor support effectively.
Engaging Parents & Communities: Strong partnerships are essential - create open communication channels, involve families, and explore evidence-based approaches to strengthen these bonds.
Rethinking the School Calendar: Could a more balanced calendar with shorter breaks distributed throughout the year help combat the "summer learning slide" and improve overall well-being (for pupils and teachers)?
Professor of Social Mobility at University of Exeter
Looking forward to presenting on our Nuffield report 'A Generation at Risk' at the Nuffield Foundation session today. Our work suggests that 'learning loss' suffered by school pupils in England and across the UK could end up being the most enduring and inequitable legacy of the Covid pandemic.

CEO at Freeda - Free From Domestic Abuse | Founder at Arbre & The Diversity Network | Cultural Change | Social Justice | Community Building | Equity & Inclusion |
💡The Jersey Community Relations Trust was established 20 years ago to ‘eliminate discrimination on any ground…by promoting good relations between all members of society, and seeking to achieve equality of treatment and opportunity within our community’.
This aspiration remains as relevant and important as ever to creating a harmonious, healthy and happy island community. And just as challenging.
Our Board of Trustees is entirely voluntary and our funding small, but I am really proud of the progress we have made in the last 18 months to build bridges with minority communities and community partners in order to understand the diverse experiences of life in Jersey - especially from those whose voices are not usually heard - and to positively influence progress and inclusion.
And we are really excited about the opportunities we have to make a real and lasting difference in the community over the next 18 months through the various projects on our agenda.
🙌In our report, we acknowledge and celebrate some of the excellent work that is happening on our island to eliminate discrimination and enable inclusion.
⚠️But we fire some warning shots too - particularly around the poverty gap, inequality & inequity, including at its worst degree rascism, experienced by some in our migrant communities, and the need to safeguard our island against the rising tide of global populism and far right influences.
💛The JCRT is a safe space for anyone who would like to share their story and experiences of inclusion in Jersey and we would love to hear from you, as well as community groups who share our aims and may like to explore opportunities to partner with us.
We welcome feedback on our Annual Review.

Would you like to know more about the JCRT? Have you ever wondered what we do and why?
You can read our latest Annual Review to learn more about our purpose and the projects we got involved in during 2023. Follow the link below.
We have so many people to thank for supporting us this past year, for their time and expertise as well as endless inpiration and commitment.
We have bigger aspirations for the year ahead, and no doubt, bigger, more complex challenges to overcome too. Without the commitment of our wonderful trustees and volunteers, we know this would be impossible. So, thank you!
💛At the heart of what we do, it is our unwavering mission to promote an inclusive society where everyone can achieve their potential. 👧🏻👩🦱👨🏼🙋🏾♀️
