This document discusses new methods for cleaning up heavy metal contamination in soils and water. It describes three such methods: 1) in situ fixation, which chemically stabilizes heavy metals in contaminated soils on site, making them less toxic; 2) phytostabilization, which uses plants to reduce erosion and spread of contaminated soils; and 3) phytoextraction, which uses plants to take up and concentrate heavy metals from soils for disposal. In situ fixation and phytoremediation methods can cost less than excavating and removing contaminated soils while being less disruptive to the environment.

This is a partnership proposal for NGO to partner with "GoodFellas - Ambassadors of Change" program.
"GoodFellas" is an 8-week long pan India student outreach program, to provide students an opportunity to play their role in discussing and solving issues that matter.
As part of the this, a group of selected campus ambassadors will organize multiple online and offline activities such as volunteering drive and online writing competition. We have planned to reach 25+ campuses and 100k+ students across India.
Here are the key insights from the focus group:
- Students enjoy social events like concerts, game nights, and mixers where they can interact with others. Educational events need interactive elements.
- A loose, flexible student organization structure works best as schedules vary. Events should not require a long-term commitment.
- Social media, word-of-mouth, and flyers around campus are best ways to communicate. Messages need to be brief and highlight benefits of attending.
- Students care about causes like clean water but feel overwhelmed by global issues. Focusing on local impact and how they can directly help would resonate best.

Dr Margo Greenwood (March 2017) Community- Based Participatory Research: A S...Sightsavers
This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.

Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)Purpose To support one-to-.docxcroysierkathey
Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)
Purpose: To support one-to-one mentoring programs for youth at risk of educational failure, dropping out of school, or involvement in delinquent activities, including gangs.
Background: Part G of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to fund a Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP). In fiscal year (FY) 1996, Congress appropriated $4,000,000 to implement this program.
Mentoring, as the term is currently used, can be defined as a one-to-one relationship between a pair of unrelated individuals, usually of different ages, which takes place on a regular basis over an extended period of time. It is usually characterized by a "special bond of mutual commitment" and "an emotional character of respect, loyalty, and identification" (Hamilton, 1990).
As a movement, mentoring has its roots in the closing decades of the 19th century with "Friendly Visitors" who served as role models for children of the poor. Mentoring enjoyed new popularity in the 1970's when corporations heralded the concept as one that fosters achievement. Mentoring was seen as a particularly critical ingredient to success on the corporate ladder (Freedman, 1992).
Within the past 10 years, mentoring has taken on a new dimension and a new target group disadvantaged children and youth. It has emerged as a promising approach for enriching children's lives; addressing the isolation of youth from adult contact; and providing, on a one-to-one basis, support and advocacy to children who need it. Mentoring is also recognized as an important vehicle for harnessing the talents of volunteers to address the problems of poverty (Freedman, 1992).
Congress has recognized the potential of mentoring as a tool for addressing two critical concerns: poor school performance and delinquent activity. Accordingly, OJJDP is making funds available for mentoring programs that specifically address these concerns. Congress also has recognized the importance of school collaboration in mentoring programs, whether as a primary applicant or in partnership with other public or nonprofit private entities.
In a recent study of mentoring, Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) conducted an experimental evaluation of Big Brothers and Big Sisters (BB/BS) programs (Tierney et al., 1995). In this study youth were randomly assigned to a BB/BS mentoring program or to a BB/BS waiting list. The study emphasized the importance of carefully structured programs with adequate management, training, case management, policies, procedures, and establishment of clear standards. These standards relate to screening of the adults and youth, training and orientation of volunteers, the matching process, required frequency of meetings, and supervision of matches.
In determining whether a one-to-one mentoring experience made a tangible difference in the lives of these young people, the study identified sever ...
Stepping out of one’s comfort zone and venturing into a foreign land fosters personal growth and independence. When you join youth exchange program, it encourages you to adjust to unfamiliar environments, overcome challenges and foster resilience.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

Introduction.
Greeks Stay Strong is a teaching model designed to show students in College Greek
Communities how to "party smart" in order to stop alcohol and drug related deaths through
realistic and practical student engagement efforts.
The Greeks Stay Strong model was built with 2 key fundamental principles, a realistic position
and a focus on engagement. The model works because it’s realistic – students do tend to drink
in college, regardless of age, so if they do, we want them to do it in the safest and smartest
way. The model also works because it focuses on engagement. When the initiative is lead by
students, learned using two-way discussion, and practiced with hands-on instruction, the
education component is different from the day to day lecture style students are used to.
The Greeks Stay Strong model was built to be piloted at Michigan State University and adopted,
free of charge, by any institution across the country. With a very successful pilot, the model is
now stripped to its raw elements which initially made it successful and effective – ready for any
college to adopt and implement.

Overview.
The Greeks Stay Strong model focuses on 3 phases where sequential chronology is
important. The phases are meant to be simple, so any institution can adapt it to its own
needs and culture. Each of the 3 phases is oriented around a different teaching element
which helps make the model work. These teaching elements are Personal, Relatable, and
Usable.
Within each phase description, there is an example of the pilot program’s usage. The model
can be deviated from this pilot program as needed, however, it’s important to adhere to the
outlined guidelines in order to preserve the essence of model’s efficacy.
Resources used in the pilot program can be obtained by contacting the program founders.
The Model:

Description:
Join Strong is simply about Greek members, together, taking a pledge agreeing to
party smart. By having Greek members take a pledge with their peers, in a way that is
familiar to them, it instills a personal attachment to the initiative. Rather than forcing
members to participate in a cause, Greek members will be creating the cause.
Learning Objectives:
Promote awareness to Greek members about alcohol and drug related deaths and
the Greeks Stay Strong initiative.
Engage Greek members in an effort to eliminate avoidable deaths within the
community.
Increase awareness of Greek unity and strength through a public commitment to
keep one another safe.
Time:
Month X
Guidelines:
The pledge should be simple and aligned in value with the Greek Stay Strong pledge:
“I pledge to party smart in order to stop alcohol and drug related deaths in the Greek
community." The pledge should instill a firm commitment, state a realistic action,
explain why the action is important, and identify the relevance to whoever is
pledging.
o Breakdown:
Commitment: “I pledge”
Action: “to party smart”
Reason: “in order to stop alcohol and drug related deaths”
Relevance: “in the Greek community”
Members should be allowed to “pledge” in a simple way such as “liking” a Facebook
page, attending an event, signing a public petition, wearing an item of apparel, using
a Twitter hashtag, noting their presence at an on-campus display, etc.
A roster of pledges should be public to Greek members as well as the local
community
Role models and opinion leaders should kickoff the pledging

Pilot program at Michigan State University:
The Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils at MSU created a Facebook page in early
September that displayed the pledge and the following phases in the Greeks Stay Strong
program. Chapter presidents were instructed to encourage their members to “like” the page
to take the pledge. The Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils promoted the Facebook
initiative by having Greek opinion leaders endorse the pledge.

Description:
Learn Strong is all about getting together as a Greek community to learn about smart
partying from a relatable presenter. The purpose of this speaker session should be to get
Greek members to reflect on their individual party endeavors while learning about how to
party in the safest way. During this phase, popular false rumors should be refuted and
trending social norms should be identified. During this session, Greek members should learn
how to evaluate the wellbeing of their lives, friends’ lives, and future situations and become
equipped with skills to take improvable action.
Learning Objectives:
Teach Greek members why it is important to party smart and the ramifications of
reckless partying.
Refute harmful false rumors relating to drugs and alcohol while identifying popular
social norms
Empower Greek members to take make the best choices when their friends are not
partying smart.
Time:
Month X + 1 Month
Guidelines:
This phase should enforce a mandatory attendance policy of at least 85% of each
chapter
This session should be lead by a public speaker who:
o Believes in realistic partying
o Is able to incorporate an interactive dynamic for conversation
o Is relatable to the Greek community in:
Background
Attitude
Culture
School/Greek Affiliations
o Willing to subscribe to the Greeks Stay Strong values
o Excludes a cool, young, and fun persona in order to position him/herself in the
most marketable educator role for the initiative

The speaker should be introduced by a public opinion leader
o Examples:
Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Council Leader
Public local community leader
School Administrator
Greek Life Advisor
Influential Greek member
Influential student body member
During the speaker session “#GreeksStayStrong” should be used to highlight program
unity through Twitter
At the end of this session the optional third phase should be introduced and the
signup process should be explained.
Pilot program at Michigan State University:
Michigan State University had Erica Upshaw as the Learn Strong speaker. Erica was
introduced by the East Lansing Mayor who was introduced by the Interfraternity Council Vice
President of Administration and Panhellenic Council Vice President of Programming. These
council leaders also briefly explained an overview of Greeks Stay Strong. Erica Upshaw
speaks to Greek Communities across the country to share her story of how her brother’s life
could have been saved by partying smart and empowering friends. Since Erica Upshaw is a
former Greek from a Big 10 University and exudes a cool and fun attitude, she helped make
this session relatable to each member. Erica didn’t ever tell the students not to “party,” or
force unrealistic ideas, she did, however, teach them how to party – but smart. In the middle
of Erica’s presentation, she displayed “#GreeksStayStrong” on one of her slides. She asked
everyone in the audience to take out their smart phones and tweet anything at all about
Greeks Stay Strong using that hashtag.

Description:
Stay Strong is the final phase of the Greeks Stay Strong model. This phase is designed
to teach the “how” in putting the lessons learned in the first two phases into applicable use.
This phase should be optional for each chapter’s leadership to sign up for in order to insure
that all of those who are willing will receive the additional training. This knowledge of alcohol
and drug related crisis management will, therefore, be spread throughout the student body.
The Stay Strong Phase is about learning how to act when a potential crisis from alcohol or
drug use arises. The session should provide simple steps that are actually useable by any
Greek member at any time.
Learning Objectives:
Increase by-stander self-efficacy to identify potential crisis situations and to intervene
before an emergency occurs.
Increase by-stander self-efficacy to identify crisis situations associated with alcohol
and drug use and to intervene effectively.
To illustrate normative expectations and acceptance of crisis helping behavior among
the Greek community.
Time:
Month X + 2-4 Months
Guidelines:
This phase should be optional for individual chapters to complete
o The phase can be designed so individual members can sign up without their
entire chapter signing up
This phase should consist of multiple sessions hosted by a third party
o Examples include:
School’s health center
Existing education program that is aligned in values with the
fundamental Greeks Stay Strong values
School’s Greek Life department
School’s Student Life department
A safe zone should be defined as:
No judgment
Confidential
Any emotions welcome
No wrong answers

The Greek Life department should provide proof of session participation through a
letter to the chapter’s national organization
Pilot program at Michigan State University:
Michigan State University’s Olin Health Center, with assistance from the
Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils, hired the MSU Theater Group to write, produce,
and direct a video series to guide the third phase sessions. This video series is available by
request to Rebecca Allen at rebecca.allen@ht.msu.edu. Individual chapters signed up for this
session in one hour time blocks through an online sign up system. The session included:
5-8 item pre-test
Introduction and overview of the session
10 minute video scenario of alcohol/drug overdose with facilitated discussion focused
on crisis assessment, emergency intervention, and possible outcomes.
10 minute video of what occurred before the emergency with facilitated discussion
on early “red flags” and intervention opportunities, potential barriers and effective
strategies for intervening.
Closing – using results of one or 2 items on the pre-test will provide information on
attitudinal norms among those present related to by-stander intervention.
5-8 item post test – with 6 item evaluation.
