This document summarizes the history of Italian immigration to South Wales in the early 1900s. It explains that Italians came to work in the coal mines after the industry in northern Italy suffered and the mines in South Wales needed more workers. Most Italians who immigrated came from the same town in Italy. They worked long hours in the mines and also opened small cafes. These cafes became very popular community spots. However, during World War 2, Italians faced persecution since Italy was an enemy nation. Many were detained or deported. After the war, the cafes continued but declined as the coal industry collapsed in the 1980s. Today, there is still Italian cultural influence although the community has integrated over generations.

The document discusses the selection and implementation of the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) at Columbia College Chicago. A selection committee comprised of library staff evaluated discovery tools and selected EDS based on criteria like compatibility with existing systems and databases. Implementation involved customizing EDS, resolving issues like ebook display and multi-volume sets, and launching EDS in August 2011. 18 months later, database usage increased dramatically while full-text retrievals stayed consistent, and the library was satisfied with EDS and the minimal maintenance required.

This document discusses the ethnic conflict between Tamils and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. It describes how Tamils faced discrimination and human rights violations over several decades. This led to the formation of the militant group LTTE led by Velupillai Prabhakaran to fight for a separate Tamil state. The Sri Lankan government responded with violence and categorized Tamils as terrorists. Although the LTTE was eventually defeated, the document argues they were freedom fighters and the struggle for an independent Tamil state continues.

intervento nell'ambito di E-democracy 2.0
L’8 aprile 2009, la Regione Emilia-Romagna, in collaborazione con il network europeo Pep-Net (Pan European eParticipation Network), al quale aderisce, ha promosso a Bologna il seminario internazionale “E-democracy 2.0 - Istituzioni, cittadini, nuove reti: un lessico possibile”.
1) Young people are defined differently in different societies but are generally considered those aged 15-29. They are shaping a new set of values focused on personal growth, independence, tolerance, and environmental issues rather than materialism.
2) Research shows young people have little interest in traditional politics and political parties. They display cynicism and distrust towards politicians.
3) Barriers like not recognizing education as active work and delays in independence prevent young people from becoming active citizens earlier in life, turning them towards private concerns over communal ones.
This document discusses active citizenship in Europe. It notes that more European citizens do not participate in elections, creating a non-voting majority. This questions the legitimacy of government as citizens are not agreeing to it through participation. However, citizens are still interested in participating in politics in a wider sense through civil society organizations. Data from various European countries shows membership and participation in voluntary organizations like sports clubs, cultural groups, and religious organizations ranges from 0-79% among countries. This indicates citizens' potential and willingness to participate in politics in a non-electoral way remains high.
The document discusses a social platform called POLITICS that uses collaborative digital storytelling to engage students in discussions about active citizenship and what it means to be European. The platform allows students across Europe to come together online and use social tools and multilingual educational resources supported by tutorials and handbooks to share stories on these topics. It invites teachers and educators to join the Politics & Active Citizenship Club online community at the provided web address and email.
The document summarizes an evaluation of a personal learning environment (PLE) called the Learning About Politics (LAP) Platform. The LAP Platform was developed by the POLITICS project to help users learn about politics and civic engagement using digital storytelling and Web 2.0 tools. An evaluation approach was used that included questionnaires and feedback from stakeholders to evaluate the platform formatively and summatively. The evaluation identified strengths of the educational materials and collaborative learning opportunities, but also weaknesses in areas like navigation, personalization, and cultural responsiveness. Based on the evaluation, improvements were made to the learning methodology, content, PLE design, and evaluation tools.

The POLITICS project is a European collaboration funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme to improve citizen participation in politics across Europe. It uses web 2.0 technologies to develop school students', trainees', and adult learners' understanding of modern society and skills in problem solving, communication, and writing. The project has created a multilingual blog called Learning About Politics which hosts educational resources and digital stories produced by learners around Europe on topics like politics and the experiences of migrants. It also provides educational scenarios and activities to help users explore topics in politics.
This document provides an overview of the POLITICS Project which utilizes online tools and digital storytelling to promote collaborative online learning about citizenship and politics. It describes the main POLITICS tools including the Learning About Politics platform, six national blogs, and a wiki page. It also outlines several tutorials produced by the project on topics like digital storytelling, using Web 2.0 tools, copyright issues, and creating educational scenarios. The document encourages users to get involved by accessing these resources and creating or sharing digital stories and other content through the various online platforms.
The document summarizes a potential next part of a story taking place on the island of Lampedusa, Italy. The narrators have been invited by Valentina to observe what is happening on the island.

The document summarizes the completed European project "Learning about Politics". [1] The project aimed to enable participatory learning about politics for students and young learners using Web 2.0 technologies. [2] It created an online platform and supported the creation of digital stories about politics. [3] The German partner, ITB, explored how to promote learning about politics in vocational education through blogs and topics relevant to students.

The document provides a summary of the author's experience at a workshop on collaborative learning in Chania, Crete. [1] The workshop introduced participants to Web 2.0 tools for integrating technology and the internet into educational practices. [2] Over the course of a week, experts lectured on different Web 2.0 tools each day and participants practiced using the tools to create shared projects and digital stories. [3] The workshop emphasized a "free" approach to sharing information and collaborating online using these tools.
Storytelling provides significant cognitive and emotional benefits to human beings. Listening to and reading stories from a young age helps develop long-term memory and shape a child's development. It also enhances intelligence by building skills like sequencing events, identifying causes and effects, and processing abstract ideas without visuals. In addition, storytelling cultivates imagination, which poets like Blake and Keats viewed as key to understanding truth and reality. While some question the usefulness of non-factual stories, the novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories illustrates how imagination can be used to challenge oppression and tyranny. In the end, storytelling fosters both intelligence and imagination, which together have the power to change the world.
