EMPLEO CEUTA ASOCIACIÓN celebró el pasado día 2 de marzo de 2017 su tercer encuentro informativo, donde se presentó la conferencia ‘Todas las ayudas sociales para desempleados’ con objeto de mostrar todas estas ayudas que existen en la ciudad para las personas sin trabajo.
El encuentro tuvo lugar en el salón de actos del Campus Universitario. Primero, Juan Carlos Medina, presidente de la asociación, hizo un repaso de los pasos que llevan hasta el momento de la misma y diferenció ésta del SEPE, de las ETT, de los OPEA e incluso de las lanzaderas de empleo en el sentido que no son una organización “para dar un servicio sino que los mismos afectados por el desempleo y precariedad se organizan para colaborar y ayudarse de manera permanente (lo que no hace la lanzadera)”. Otra de las claves es “darse apoyo emocional y psicólogico (ya que los desempleados se deprimen y no tienen donde acudir que sea lugar adecuado para ellos) y sobre todo y es la esencia un lugar donde se les ayude a conocerse, sus dones y talentos y se formen equipos de personas afines en proyectos y habilidades para colaborar y hacer realidad una pyme, aprobar unas oposiciones o simplemente buscar trabajo de manera coordinada”.
Posteriormente habló Mery Lesmes trabajadora social de Empleo Ceuta Asociación donde explicó a través de una charla y una presentación de power point las distintas ayudas que existen. La asistencia fue numerosa (entre 120 y 130 personas) y hubo gran participación de preguntas sobre las posibilidades de las distintas ayudas. El Acto empezó a las 18.30 y concluyó cerca de las 20.00 horas.
Antes de marcharse se explicó que los socios y socias de la asociación van a ser llamados y entrevistados los jueves en un aula de la UNED y de esta manera escucharlos, colaborar a conocerse mejor y crear equipos fuertes de trabajo gracias a estas entrevistas.

English literature is the literature written in the English language, including literature composed in English by writers not necessarily from England; for example, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was Polish, Dylan Thomas was Welsh, Edgar Allan Poe was American, J. R. R. Tolkien was born in the Orange Free State, V.S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad, and Vladimir Nabokov was Russian, but all are considered important writers in the history of English literature. In other words, English literature is as diverse as the varieties and dialects of English spoken around the world. In academia, the term often labels departments and programmes practising English studies in secondary and tertiary educational systems. Despite the variety of authors of English literature, the works of William Shakespeare remain paramount throughout the English-speaking world.

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.
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.
