Erdkinder Montessori for Adolescents in Czech Republic English versionLăcrămioara Băcanu
For 5 days, two teachers from "George Voevidca" Secondary School attended the mobility meeting at Gymnázium Duhovka in Prague. Teachers Lăcrămioara Băcanu, Headmistress of the above mentioned school, and Oltea Nistor went through a highly valuable pedagogical and formative experience, by attending training courses in the field of Montessori education and by direct observation of how lessons are designed.
Diversity is important. All of us are different and we live in the same world.
It is very important for children to understand we have to share lots of things with classmates, friends, different people around us…. These differences should be understood and appreciated.

Between 14-18 May 2019 the last mobility of the participants in the project "Edrkinder – Montessori for Adolescents" took place at Montessori Middle School in Warsaw, Poland. The project was carried out with the financial support of the European Commission in Erasmus+ programme, KA2 Action – strategic partnerships in the educational field, with the reference number 2017-1-PL01-KA219-038429_5 and it was designed to take place over a period of two years, until August 2019.
Supporting Langua-technocultural Competence through Virtual ExchangeShannon Sauro
Virtual exchange, a teaching practice that incorporates online communication technologies to link remotely located partner classes for interaction and collaboration, is a rich site for fostering second language development, intercultural competence, and digital skills (EVALUATE report, 2019). A crucial component in virtual exchange is the role of the teacher as a pedagogical mentor to support students’ learning during these rich and often complex intercultural projects (O’Dowd, Sauro & Spector-Cohen, under review) where the continually shifting nature of communication technologies mediates the linguistic and cultural competences demanded of learners, also referred to as langua-technocultural competence (Sauro & Chapelle, 2017).
Accordingly, in this paper, we explore how pedagogical mentoring during a three-country virtual exchange for foreign language teacher candidates supported the langua-technocultural competence of participants by examining three incidents illustrative of the following themes: (1) resolving conflict around the selection of digital communication tools whose use and accessibility varied in the respective partner countries, (2) disambiguating the different culturally-situated meanings ascribed to emojis, (3) fostering awareness of different cultural norms regarding code-switching.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

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.

There is always two people in me: one that works and one that
spy
All movements of the other who spies
Without giving him a break.
One that works I understand; I very easily directs;
They always submits all.
his is the other, I have not come to end.
It is never satisfied with anything;
Sometimes criticizes me, sometimes supports me.
She will render me mad with his desires and his impossible future

Pedagogical methods used: team building, drawing, debat
Necessary materials: black and coloured markers, flipchart, pages
Organiser: Ms.Cristian Constantin & Camelia Mitrache
8. Detailed content of the activity:
Step 1: Students are divided in two groups : 6 students go out of the classroom and the others stay in the classroom.
Step 2: The students in the classroom choose 5 words which will become the message that the students outside have to
represent on the flipchart paper. The words can be simple : a house in the middle or a flower in the left corner.
Step 3: The students enter the classroom one by one. They are told by the teacher that they will receive a message and
they have to draw 5 images on the flipchart paper. They can use black or coloured markers, stay as long as they want
and represent the message as they wish.
Step 4: Each student starts drawing . Some of them use only black, others use colours. Some are very creative using
their imagination, others draw only a few lines.
Step 5: All the papers are exposed so that everybody can see that we have 5 different drawings even though all students
got the same message.
Step 6: Teacher starts a debate about how understanding a message is influenced by our experience, our personality, by
the context etc.
Outcomes: 6 different drawings with the same message
Feedback participants:
The students liked the activity and realised that we are different and have different perspectives of things. They accepted
they should be tolerant to each other and understood that diversity is the essence of life.
9. “For me it is the opportunity to see
the world with different eyes, to feel
and discover things and emotions
new horizons, new friends, social
standing, which share unforgettable
moments. The project gave me the
opportunity to develop my other
skills, to know different traditions and
cultures. I made many friends, I
learned many things that will help me
to come and I finally left with
incredibly beautiful memories that
will last a long time. Honestly, I would
repeat the experience with the
biggest drag whenever I would give a
chance”
