Discovering hidden treasures thornton heath the story sofarCormac Russell
This is the story of how Thornton Heath is using ABCD to building a stronger more connected community using people power. This process was commissioned by Croydon NHS, and Croydon Local Government, they commissioned Croydon Voluntary Action and Nurture Development.
The most exciting feature of this work is the citizen-led action that is driving the process. 20 connectors (local residents) have been having hundreds of conversations with their neighbours about what they have locally and how they can use what they have to secure what they need.

So, do you typically guess what would work well to connect with your neighbors? Maybe you stereotype the community and assume what they need? Well, if you want to connect in a real way to your neighborhood or city, you better start listening to your neighbors and build on their strengths to raise up local leaders for the long run.

West Yorkshire & Harrogate STP, NHS England. Cormac Russell
This was delivered at a facilitated one day workshop/conversation with West Yorkshire & Harrogate STP (NHS England supported event), opened by Olivia Butterworth. The focus was on getting in 'right relationship' with communities, in an asset-based community development way. Facilitated by Cormac Russell, Nurture Development supported by Chris Chinnock, Nurture Development. Asset-based Community Development approach was used as the primary lens through which to progress the conversation and explorations. Attached is the morning presentation which was used to stimulate discussion and some searching debate.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Accountable to the community. Significance of Assets Assets are system inputs. Asset mapping is data collection Assets are dots to connect. Asset mapping is self-realization and leadership development.

27. Tips on Working with Neighborhoods Ways that inhibit engagement How we work differently with neighborhoods and residents We know who to contact by position We have to research who to contact (sometimes it is not obvious) We give them timelines and deadlines We ask them to give us a reasonable time frame We write things up – give them memos and job descriptions We meet with them and have face to face conversations (preferably in their community) We often take the lead in projects We need to allow the neighborhood to lead us We set up meetings during the day We go to meetings at nights or on the weekends and when appropriate help to figure out childcare and transportation
28. Tips (cont.) Adapted from Untied Way of Metro Atlanta We offer a list of possible roles for our organization We ask how our organization can be most helpful We use our leadership structure to help us make relationships We look to current relationships to help introduce us into new communities We manage projects We negotiate our role, offer suggestions and learn to be flexible We reach our objectives in a way that is most efficient We follow the lead of residents with patience, as work takes much longer, is not efficient, often involves several players and lots of twists and turns We assume authority is in the person with positional power Authority rests in the one with the most relationships

Editor's Notes
Objectives, a) Present current thinking; b) highlight the importance of promoting citizenship led initiatives in attaining Active Citizenship Targets; c) suggest five practical next steps.
In Ireland we tend in the main to focus on the half empty part of the glass, we start by focusing on what is missing by conducting needs analysis, and largely disregard the half full part of the glass, the assets that exist, despite the fact that you can really know what a person or a community needs until you know what they have.
Current approach based on an approach almost exclusively focused on needs invariably concludes that what people need are more services, our current approach is leading to a reality where vulnerable citizens are surrounded by a myriad of institutional responses that ultimately create dependant clients as opposed to active citizens.
Seattle story a different approach: Mike Peringer works in Seattle’s industrial neighbourhood of SODO. He was embarrassed by the appearance of 5th Avenue South, a major busway into Seattle that was flanked on both sides by the graffiti-covered backs of warehouses. Peringer wanted to create a more inviting gateway to Seattle for the 16,000 commuters and tourists who rode through each day. His idea was to paint murals the length of the two-mile long corridor. But, Peringer had an even better idea. Why not involve young people who had been arrested for graffiti in painting the murals? He worked with King County Court judges who agreed to offer his ArtWorks program as an alternative sentence. As they painted, the young people would be taught work and life skills by community mentors. The summer mural project proved successful; none of the participants reoffended. ArtWorks grew to become a year-round program creating hundreds of murals for construction sites throughout the city in addition to the 40 murals that now constitute the Urban Art Corridor. Close to five thousand young people have benefited from the program over its first ten years (Mike Peringer, Good Kids: The Story of ArtWorks).
This slide illustrates how the story I’ve just shared with you intentionally creates active citizens by promoting citizen led initiatives
In our work on the ground we see the need based approach applied not just applied to individuals but also to communities
The asset based approach starts with a focus on the strengths it recognises the truth that the map is not the territory and that the glass is both half full and half empty at the same time
