In Estonia, gender equality has the most room for improvement in areas of power and money. On average, Estonian women earn approximately 30% less than men for the same jobs and positions. While health and work opportunities are more equal, from 2005-2012 Estonia implemented some legal improvements to promote gender equality. These included expanding the roles of organizations focused on gender equality, implementing anti-discrimination acts, and requiring gender impact analyses of new legislation. However, a comprehensive gender equality action plan has not been adopted. Non-profit organizations hold events to raise awareness and advocate for gender equality.

In Slovenia, like in many other countries, inequality and discrimination in housing, especially
in renting, are significant issues that affect various groups. These problems are often rooted in
socioeconomic disparities, discriminatory practices, and inadequate housing policies.
One of the primary challenges is the unequal access to housing opportunities. Not only
marginalized groups and low-income families face discrimination, but also foreigners when
seeking rental accommodations. Landlords may engage in discriminatory practices by
refusing to rent to these groups or imposing unfair terms and conditions

Fighting homelessness in Ukraine, an article contribution to the FEANTSA Fla...Ludmila Aliyeva
In 2006-2007 estimations of Ukrainian NGOs dealing with the problem of homelessness in their regions, indicated that the number of homeless in Ukraine was about 0,5 % of the urban
adult population, which was more than 85.000 persons.
The question of how to reintegrate
people experiencing homelessness has been an urgent matter.
This article describes the progress that was made regarding the reintegration of people
who are homeless in two different cities: the capital Kyiv and the city of Chernivtsi during 2002-2006.
Both models of fighting homelessness established during this period in Kyiv and Chernivtsi were the first to appear in Ukraine in the Soviet and post-Soviet times.
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.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

3. IMPROVEMENTS ON LEGAL LEVEL
• From 2005–2012, a dual approach was used for
promoting gender equality in Estonia, undertaking both
specific actions and promoting the implementation of a
gender mainstreaming strategy.
• Although there has been no general gender equality
action plan, gender equality issues and/or problems have
been considered in different policy documents, e.g., the
National Health Plan 2009–2020,the Development Plan
for Reducing Violence for the years 2010–2014 and the
Development Plan of Children and Families 2012–2020.
4. IMPROVEMENTS ON LEGAL LEVEL 2
• January 2009, the areas of responsibility of the Ministry of Social
Affairs, the Gender Equality Commissioner, and independent and
impartial experts were respectively widened-Equal Treatment Act
• Several activities to promote gender equality in working life have
been carried out under the Estonian European Social Fund
programmes Promoting Gender Equality 2008– 2010 and
Promoting Gender Equality 2011–2013.
• In December 2011, the Government of the Republic adopted new
Rules for Good Legislative Drafting and Technical Rules for Drafts
of Legislative Acts which foresees an obligation of impact analysis
of draft legislation.
• In June 2012, the new Public Service Act was adopted and entered
into force on 1 April 2013. The remaining reference to equal
treatment in the new act states that public offices have to ensure
the protection of public servants against discrimination, follow the
principle of equal treatment and promote equality.
