practices with people who are just getting started. Members
of the Literacy Rotarian Action Group will facilitate roundtables to help you trade ideas, explore the potential of
partnerships, and collaborate with others who share your
passion to improve literacy and education.
Rotary clubs from North America and India are partnering

reading resources. Learn how the projects are helping communities and raising awareness about Rotary in the process.
Bullying has been a contributing factor in child suicides, and

encourage kids to think before they act and lead them to be
responsible, compassionate, and empathetic adults.
Developing Youth Voice in Kirklees: Political Education, Powerful Not Pointle...Local Democracy Bytes
Young people tell us that they don’t know enough about the way that our political systems work as they do not have access to political education in a set curriculum at school. Having a good political education is empowering, even life changing. Young people are the future in the world of politics, so why deny them a head start?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
