Accepting Diversity-Appearance Based Discrimination- The Greek subtopic for C...Kapetanidou Theodossia
“Discrimination Based on Appearance”
Accepting “Diversity”=Accepting “the Other” =
=Accepting “the Different”
“How do I look? We are all different, we are all beautiful.”
Discrimination is ever-present in any society. It is based on unexamined stereotypes and results in the prejudicial treatment of people who happen to be members of a particular group. Being different in appearance in a group of people is often converted in forms of discrimination and this is acted on every level of social life. Society makes assumptions which are unquestionably adopted by the majority of people. As a consequence ‘the Different” is automatically rejected.
Through the Greek subtopic, “Combatting Discrimination of Appearance-Accepting Diversity”, and our YoUtopia project in a wider context, we are investigating forms of discrimination upon ‘the Different’ and are pointing out the effects that such a behavior has upon people.
Heading to the opposite direction, by working under the principles of Equality and Tolerance, developing a spirit of Volunteering as a top significance procedure in social affairs, we equip ourselves with those qualities that can develop a collective conscience on combatting discrimination of appearance or of any other kind. Accepting diversity seems to be the only means of maintaining cohesion of society, coexistence and collaboration of individuals in a multicultural society of today.
We hope that this project, through getting sensitized on Appearance Based Discrimination issues and promoting Diversity principles, will challenge the participative members and the wider social circle that is being involved in activities one way or another to exhibit the benefits of being a multicultural society with respect for the “Different”.
As an impact of this endeavor we hope that students, teachers and parents are going to get more emotionally mature, develop empathy towards the subtle issues of Diversity and Human rights and confront their own bias and prejudices. Our common goal is to make apparent that Acceptance of “the Other”, “the Different”, enhances our quality of life and transforms us to thinking spiritual individuals that stand for the Right and for Justice.

Global literacy and communications promote empathy and combat injustice; how can students better understand conflicts and cultures around the world?
As a global community, it is clear that global communication has become inextricably related to real-world problems, and that global literacy promotes awareness and understanding. As observers struggle to understand issues such as women's rights to an education, the Arab Spring, and the plight of child soldiers, it becomes ever more important to communicate and speak out. Pakistani activist Malala Yousufzai nearly lost her life because her foes thought it was so important to silence her voice, Arab Spring protesters (and supporters of the Occupy Movement and European workers in countries such as Greece, and the list goes on...) took to the streets with signs, to the internet with blogs and tweets and broadcasts that cost some protesters their lives, and the Kony 2012 video mobilized millions of youths worldwide to combat the use of child soldiers. Why is communication so important that people would kill and be killed to promote it? How can we better understand other cultures and their conflicts? How can we do our part to combat injustice? Global literature--defined broadly as fiction, tweets, blogs, videos, etc.--can help students and lifelong learners to better understand the contexts and cultures behind real-world issues and conflicts, to develop empathy, and to become active global citizens.

The Rutu Foundation envisions that Mother Tongue Education becomes the standard practice globally.
Their immediate mission is to significantly increase the size and significance of the mother tongue education domain within five years, while cultivating the circumstances required for a sustainable future for mother tongue education.
They aim to create a Global Fund for the Revitalization of Indigenous Languages and Cultures, within the next five years.
This roadmap document, developed by Lifelong Inspiration and the Rutu Foundation, outlines the activities and goals to fulfil the Rutu mission, and ensure a just education for hundreds of millions of children globally.
There is overwhelming evidence that bilingual children perform better, gain more self-confidence and learn the school language faster when their mother tongues are included in the classroom. The UN has encouraged mother tongue based instruction as best practice since the 1950s. Yet, implementation is rare. The result is lost opportunities, wasted talent, marginalisation, ignorance, as well as massive and growing inequality.
Generations of people grow up failed by their education systems from day one. A systematic human rights failure which is likely to continue unabated unless we act now.
The Rutu Roadmap: we believe that it is time for mother tongue based multilingual education becoming the norm, rather than the exception. This roadmap contains our plan on how to achieve this mission.
Sustainable development has three components: environment, society, and economy. If you consider the three to be overlapping circles of the same size, the area of overlap in the center is human well-being. As the environment, society, and economy become more aligned, the area of overlap increases, and so does human well-being.

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.
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 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.

2. Literacy Background Information
Literacy is a fundamental human right and the foundation for lifelong
learning.
It is fully essential to social and human development in its ability to
transform lives.
It is an instrument of empowerment to improve one’s health, one’s income,
and one’s relationship with the world.
3. 17%Of the World’s adult Population is illiterate,
With ⅔ of them being women.
4. Tackling the problem
There are many social
entrepreneurs that help them by

UNESCO stands for United Nations- Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
What do they do to tackle illiteracy?
➔ For over 65 years UNESCO has worked to ensure that literacy remains a priority on national and international
agendas.
➔ Through its formal and non-formal literacy programmes worldwide, the Organization works to realize the
vision of a literate world for all.
➔ UNESCO creates an Education for All Package for Palestine.
The programme trained teachers on how to plan
and present their lessons in a dynamic manner with their students
actively involved in their learning through information gathering,
activities, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and
planning.
7. LitWorld
➔ Founded by Pam Allyn (literacy educator and author). She experienced
the immense desire of children to learn to read in Kibera. With a group
of friends, She started the LitWorld organisation in 2007
➔ Started 2 programmes in 2010, LitClubs and World Read Aloud Day.
LitClubs is a programme spread to 15 countries in 5 continents. It
encourages children to share their literacy stories with others eg.
someone who was too afraid to speak up in class now freely gives her
opinions. World Read Aloud Day rallies 18 million people online and
over 1 million people from 100 countries through community events,
motivating people of all ages to celebrate the power of words and
create a community that takes action for literacy rights.
➔ LitWorld encourages all to share their stories, as they believe that these
stories are the solutions for creating social change and aim to do so
both locally and globally.
Our Mission: Strengthening kids
and communities through the
power of their own stories.

world of equity and opportunity.
8. Reach Out and Read (ROR)
Reach out and read or ROR was founded in 1989 at Boston City Hospital, Massachusetts.
Things that they've done for literacy:
The Leyendo Juntos initiative- this initiative focuses on the Spanish speaking families and providing them with
literacy materials and bilingual books for these children and their families. The program too, is to promote the idea
of reading at home.
The Military Initiative- the target audience for this program are military families with young children by helping
parents understand their child better as these parents have to be separated due to them being in the military.
The Mission
To give young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to
read aloud together.
9. Reflection
Chin Yi- After this research on Literacy, I realized that many people around the world are poor so
they are not able to be literate. Thus, I find that donations to the organizations are essential for the
promotion of literacy
Matthias- After having completed this project, it has come to my attention how much I take my
opportunities to study and I've come to appreciate the ability to comprehend the English language
and be able to so confidently communicate with it. The realisation that people on this earth that are
deprived of such necessities is depressing but the fact that active steps have been taken to help
them as fellow humans has inspired me to take my life more seriously and realise that if I won't
study for myself, I'll study for them.
Hsin Yeong- After this project, i realise that many non-profit organisations usually start with a
small group of people or sometimes even 1 person. It just goes to show that with a heart for change,
we can make a difference, no matter how big or small because we will at least make someone happy
