Digital culture: The Disconnect Between Leadership And Employees Couldn’t be ...Seta Wicaksana
Digital technologies can bring significant new value, but organizations will only unlock that potential if they have the right digital culture ingrained and in place. Currently, that is not happening.
Employees are being sidelined and disenfranchised in the culture change journey, and the gap between leadership and employee perceptions is stark.
There are three key aspects to ensuring the success of your company undergoing digital transformation. These are: leadership and talent, culture and change management.
The evolution of society in recent years has been breathtaking, especially because of the research, development and innovation and the rapidly adaptation of the citizen to this big change. These changes in lifestyle, work, personal development, education, how we communicate, etc ... were unimaginable to our grandparents just 20 years ago.
This New Scenario directly affects the way that governments must tackle new challenges and paradigms of contemporary society. The impact of social networks and mobile devices, is the most comprehensive and global driver. And in the same way, the new advanced threats, has a very strong impact to social welfare and peaceful coexistence between people and countries.

Contemporary methods and forms of work with adult learner: e-Skills & e-Literacy: using digital tools to learn
The importance of digital skills for both social inclusion and employability has been made an high priority by the European Commission, hence several initiative such as Digital Agenda, Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, Eskills for jobs campaign, EU Code Week and reinforced in the recently published “Eskills Manifesto” introduced by Vice President Ansip. Ansip also note that Commissioner Andrus ANSIP “the ICT skill gap is growing to unacceptable level”.Equipping citizen from all background with relevant digital skills is a responsibility shared between governments, industry, academia, and individuals. Youngsters, often called digital natives are most concerned. They are regular users of technology but research shows that they often not have the relevant skills to be savvy or competent users. Furthermore as youth unemployment is a major issue all other Europe, mastering these skills is becoming critical to fill the huge gap created by the digital revolution. Education is the tool used by eSkills for Volunteers (EFV) project, not only to contribute to training and to foster digital skills, but also to promote social inclusion, tolerance, respect for diversity and non-discrimination. Our main objective is to reinforce ICT digital knowledge/literacy in order to reinforce social inclusion give and uniform the basis of work of ICT-active organisations, sharing best practices, understanding better the relation with volunteers, and better preparing youth workers and volunteers engaged in this field to improve the expected impacts, according to the European objectives. Therefore, this transnational project is aim to develop a common European framework inside the project in order to boost digital skills for volunteering and promote the exchange of knowledge and best practices among countries, the interculturalism, the encouragement of a European sense of belonging and the respect for the principles of the EU Treaties

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.
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.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

capacity of youth work to respond
to new challenges and
opportunities posed by new
technologies and digital media.”

- Council Conclusions on Smart Youth Work (2017)
- Council Conclusions on Digital Youth Work (2019)
Digital youth work has seen sporadic political
attention, but that these policy discourses and the
resulting declarations at policy level have not yet been
translated into the professional documents framing
youth work practice.

5. 1) Definition of digital youth work
• Digital youth work means proactively using and/or addressing digital media
and technology in youth work.
• Digital youth work is not a youth work method - digital youth work can be included in
any youth work setting (open youth work, youth information and counselling, youth
clubs, detached youth work…).
• Digital youth work has the same goals as youth work in general, and using digital
media and technology in youth work should always support these goals.
• Digital youth work can happen in face-to-face situations as well as in online
environments - or in a mixture of these two. Digital media and technology can be used
either as a tool, an activity or a content in youth work.
• Digital youth work is underpinned by the same ethics, values and principles as youth
work.
Developing digital youth work. 2018.
7. 2) Training needs for digital youth work
1. Understanding digitalisation of society
2. Knowing how to plan, design and evaluate digital
youth work
3. Supporting young people in information and data
literacy
4. Supporting young people in communication skills
5. Supporting young people in digital creativity
6. Supporting young people in safety skills
7. Knowing how to reflect and evaluate own work &
skills
Developing digital youth work. 2018.
8. 2) Training needs for digital youth work
Key messages from the expert group:
- Every youth worker must understand the
importance of digitalisation
- Youth workers do not need to be tech
experts
- Most important thing is to know how to
include digital elements in one’s own work
- Interest towards technology is more
important than skills, as skills outdate very
quickly
9. What we have learned over the years about training?
• Justifying the need of digital youth work is still needed
• Youth workers need practical examples
• It is more effective to train small groups of working communities than
give mass trainings to 100 people
• Youth workers need peer support from other digi enthusiastics
• Not all youth workers can come to trainings: they need videos, podcasts
etc
• Most important is to talk about how digital links to youth work
10. High-quality youth work requires competent
youth workers.
Having competent youth workers does not
automatically lead to high-quality youth work.
12. Learnings from the pandemic
• Existing digital youth work strategies and local action plans helped the
shift to new normal
• New young people found their way to online youth work services
• It is important to keep up the services that have been created
• Youth workers have now very positive experiences about online work
