While the world-society close its eyes, refugees, stateless, asylum seekers and internally displaced people are suffering each day.
This edition wants to raise awareness about transcultural links to develop a new identity “Earth-Homeland”.
Sağlık! The mission of Global Education Magazine is to propose a moral agreement between all interested people to reflect on a new perspective for the future of humanity. If we look ahead to the future, the 21st century education should promote the transformation of planetary culture through the consciousness of human beings. This new vision of reality has to be holistic, polilogic and transdimensional: understanding the human being as an integral part of the cosmos as a whole.
In this sense, transdisciplinarity represents the capable germ to promote an endogenous development of the evolutionary spirit of internal critical consciousness, where religion and science are complementary. Respect, solidarity and cooperation should be global standards for the entire human development with no boundaries. This requires a radical change in the ontological models of sustainable development, global education and world-society. We must rely on the recognition of a plurality of models, cultures and socio-economical diversification. As well as biodiversity is the way for the emergence of new species, cultural diversity represents the creative potential of world-society.
Global Education Magazine aims to create and disseminate specialized knowledge with multi, inter and transdisciplinary contents, with original works of research, studies, reviews and innovative experiences to improve management and practice of institutions and organizations with humanitarian and philanthropic educational activities. For that reason we promote copyleft and creative commons for the dissemination of the magazine.
Global Education Magazine is destined to raise awareness, to develop critical thinking, and encourage the active participation of students in achieving global citizenship, solidarity, and committed to poverty eradication and sustainable human development.
Their preferred writers are come from educational scientific community with international projects, humanitarian and voluntary activities, as well as cooperation and development: Public and Private Educational Institutions, NGOs, Development and Cooperation Associations, International Volunteers, etc

This document discusses Rotary International's branding guidelines for logos. It outlines the main Rotary logos and different logos for clubs, districts, and zones. It explains that following the logo guidelines helps protect Rotary's intellectual property, recognize member work, and tell a consistent story about Rotary. The key principles are to always use a club or district identifier with the Rotary logo in an aligned way, never obscure or manipulate the Rotary wheel image, avoid images within the logo, and retire old logos. Examples of correct and incorrect logo usage are provided, along with resources for more information.
To get your story published in a Rotary magazine, focus on one unusual story that shows how your club helped people in a sustainable way that supports Rotary's areas of focus. Provide specific details on the results and impact of your project rather than just describing a program or event. Avoid submissions that feature posed group photos, announcements of routine fundraising events, strong political messages, coverage of meetings, requests to promote future projects, or photos that do not follow Rotary's branding guidelines. Be prepared to answer questions about how others could adopt or scale up your project and how you measured its success.
Tips for Enhancing Your Club's Public ImageRILearn
This document provides tips for enhancing a Rotary club's public image and awareness of Rotary. It discusses conducting research that found Rotary awareness is highest in India, Brazil, and Taiwan, but only 16-31% in other countries. The document advocates portraying Rotary members as "People of Action" by focusing on local issues, taking action to address them, and sharing impacts.

It recommends that clubs focus on local issues, take action to address challenges in their community, and publicize their impact. The document also includes a promotional calendar for social media, suggesting clubs post about causes like basic education, polio eradication, and maternal/child health in specific months. Clubs are directed to the Rotary brand center for resources and told to use an editorial calendar to stay organized in their promotion efforts.
This document provides guidance on conducting effective media interviews. It recommends preparing 2-3 main messages to communicate, supporting facts, and anticipating questions. During the interview, answer questions directly but also emphasize your key points. Provide examples to make facts clear and avoid jargon. Remember that body language conveys most meaning, so make eye contact, speak clearly, and use hand gestures purposefully.
Earned media involves framing stories around problems, Rotary actions, and impacts. Stories should have news value by being timely, proximate, eliciting human interest, involving prominent figures, or having significant consequences. Data and visually compelling images can also increase news value. When approaching media, clubs should consult, respond to inquiries, and engage further as needed. Resources for clubs include templates, guidelines, trainings, and support from the RI media relations team.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

163. “Last year, despite the pandemic’s
brake on migration, 1.4m people sought
protection outside their home countries;
nearly 10m were forcibly displaced
within them. That brought the total
number of forcibly displaced people to
82.4m, the highest on record. About 30m
are refugees or asylum-seekers—people
asking for refugee status. . . .

Editor's Notes
Five Rotary clubs in Minnesota formed the RCC for Afghan Community in 2021. The majority of the members of this RCC are Afghan refugees. By forming the RCC, sponsor clubs gave them a platform to meet and identify needs of the community... and connect with Rotary members and other organizations and companies which have been crucial for their integration into the community. The Rotary branding opens doors for them when meeting with other organizations and companies and when communicating and planning for those needs. Tapping into their network, Rotary members can ALSO connect them to other resources such as hiring companies, immigration attorneys, state and county agencies, library, and more.
One novel but much-needed initiative in the Minnesota case was the project get the state Driver's License Manual translated into Dari or Pashto. These are two language that are NOT very well supported online, whether tis through Google Translate or elsewhere, and to get the manual translated by a professional service, the costs were beyond what was possible. So, through combined efforts of all involved with the RCC, both Rotary members and members of the Afghan community, they were able to get manual translated and used by all.

There are several sources of funding through The Rotary Foundation:Starting with Global Grants...
To provide more long-term support to refugees, consider applying for a Global Grant with The Rotary Foundation, which can fund sustainable programs such as vocational training, integration programs, and trauma support.
support activities that invest in sustainable and measurable peace programming, whether through local capacity-building activities or through refugee integration services.
With this option, please note that at least 15% (not 30%) of contributions to the GG, that FUNDS these humanitarian projects, needs to come from outside the project country.
Additionally, Global Grant applications must include a thorough community assessment, training plans (if applicable), and a financial plan for long term support.
To provide more immediate aid to refugees – such as basic necessities, household items, and more – Rotary clubs and districts should consider applying for either a Disaster Response Grant or for District Grant funding.
And, please note that grant funds cannot be used to make unrestricted cash donations to a third party organization.
And all grant options are subject to Rotary's grants terms and conditions

I'd like to now hand it over to our colleagues from the Rotary Action Group for Refugees, Forced Displacement and Migration, Diane Rish and Quentin Wodon, who will share more about the actions and expertise of this Rotary led group.
Diane Rish who serves as Secretary of the Rotary Action Group for Refugees. She is a Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Capitol Hill and is an immigration attorney with expertise in U.S. immigration law and policy.
Quentin Wodon is a Lead Economist at the World Bank and serves as Chair of the Rotary Action Group for Refugees.
More than 80 percent of all remittances came from the United States, where just over one million Hondurans live both legally and illegally.
Following, in that order, are Spain (11.5%), Mexico (2.4%), Costa Rica (1.5%), Canada and Guatemala (4.3%), according to the Central Bank.
In Honduras, mothers are the main recipients of remittances (36.8%), followed by siblings (19.2%), children (13.6%), fathers (7.4%), and spouses (7.1%).
The 79.6% of families in Honduras receive this money mainly to pay for food, health services and education, and 6.4% use it for fixed capital investments, said the BCH.
Remittances in Honduras emerged from the emigration of its citizens after Hurricane Mitch devastated Central America at the end of 1998. In 1999, the first year in which Banco de Honduras presented its results, remittances were around USD 320 million (adjusted at the current exchange rate).
CARACAS, May 1 (Reuters) - The Venezuelan government increased the monthly minimum wage by 289%, an official said on Saturday, moving from the equivalent of 64 U.S. cents to about $2.40 at the exchange rate estimated by the country’s central bank.
The new base income of $2.40 plus the food bonus now represents $3.50, with which Venezuelans can buy a kilogram of cheese and a liter of milk.
