“Fight The Power! People & Protest”
Are people naturally resistant to authority? Do people have a natural sense of justice and fairness? Ordinary people sometimes take extraordinary steps to challenge the status quo and have their voices heard. Protests like the Occupy movement, ‘Anonymous’, and the Arab Spring have been ‘in the news’ a great deal recently, but how much do you know about what these protests are about? This interactive session starts with the notion of personal protest, and ends with the ‘big picture’ of global protest. Come and find out your own ‘justice motive’!
Follow up to my "Documenting Facts?" lecture looking at the ways in which documentaries have sought to expose the limitations of news when dealing with the 'war on terror' (focussing on Israel/Gaza).

¿Why are trees so important? If we all plant some 10,0000 trees each we can prevent climate catastrophe, regenerate lost soils, increase biodiversity and preserve vital ecosystems & cycles. Trees are the biggest and oldest living beings on Earth. But around 75% of the ancient forest are vanished for human action.
So it's urgent for us to know and understand trees, how to plant them, how to care for them,how to return them to their most important place in nature.In this class we will learn about tree biology and tree functions as well as their influence in our culture.

The Iconography of Dissent and Global PoliticsDaniel Drache
EyeCons are highly valued in an age awash in ephemeral information, popular culture and celebrity personalities. They are visual shortcuts in our optic consciousness whose efficacy can be measured by the performativity and impact of their ideas on public opinion, their ability to emote anger or to force a reaction, and the durability of their message to outlast its birth event and inspire succeeding generations of activists.

We celebrate International PermaCulture Day
2014, with a bilingual talk (in English & Spanish)
that takes an integral perspective on this year's topic:
Food Freedom. See www.bit.ly/IPD2014 for program, links & video
of the PDC+++ in Integral Permaculture
see www.PermaCultureScience.com
What is the Integral Model & how does it work? Why is it so significant for this time in history?
In this class we study the integral model in depth & ask why it could be one of the most important maps for directing us in the creation of more sustainable human societies.
Integral theory is an all-inclusive framework that draws on the key insights of the world’s greatest knowledge traditions.
The awareness gained from drawing on all truths and perspectives allows the Integral thinker to bring new depth, clarity and compassion to every level of human endeavor — from unlocking individual potential to finding new approaches to global-scale problems.
In this class we explore social capital as the umbrella term we use to value a complex set of inner quadrant qualities such as creativity, innovation, social skills, connectivity, emotional intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, cultural awareness, etc., all of which have a critical part to play in re-designing any technology & therefore society as a whole. "Sustainable Development" has been criticized as a term for being inherently contradictory, but when all quadrants are taken into account, we can see that a major growth in the interior quadrants (personal development & culture) will probably be key in achieving any significant reduction in physical consumption or material growth, so 'sustainable development' is far from contradictory as a term. So how do we design for increasing and improving social capital?
En esta clase exploraremos el "capital social" como el concepto que utilizamos para valorar un conjunto complejo de cualidades internas como creatividad, innovación, habilidades sociales, conectividad, inteligencia emocional, conocimiento, sabiduria, conciencia, etc...todas con un papel importante en el re-diseño de cualquier tecnología y por tanto de la sociedad. Se ha criticado mucho el termino "Desarrollo sostenible" por ser inherentemente contradictorio, pero si tenemos en cuenta todos los cuadrantes, podemos ver que el crecimiento en los cuadrantes interiores (desarrollo personal y cultural) es clave para poder reducir el crecimiento material, así que "Desarrollo Sostenible" puede no ser algo contradictorio en absoluto. ¿Cómo diseñamos para incrementar y mejorar el capital social?
¿Por qué son tan importantes los árboles? Si cada uno de nosotrs planta 10,000 árboles podemos prevenir las catástrofes climáticas, regenerar los suelos predidos, aumentar la biodiversidad y preservar ecosistemas y ciclos vitales. Los árboles son los seres vivos más grandes y antiguos de la Tierra. Pero alrededor del 75% de los bosques antiguos se ha desvanecido debido a la acción humana. Así que es urgente que conozcamos y entendamos a los árboles, cómo plantarlos, cómo cuidarlos, cómo devolverles a su lugar de máxima importancia en la naturaleza.
En esta clase aprenderemos de biología de los árboles y funciones de los árboles, además de su influencia en nuestra cultura.
Cuando la humanidad acababa de descubrir la agricultura, los bosques cubrían alrededor del 50% de la superficie terrestre del Planeta Tierra. Ahora apenas cubren un 30%, y cada vez menos. Ahora mismo esta es la reparación física del entorno más urgente con la que tenemos que comprometernos, ya que los bosques son tan vitales para cada aspecto de la vida en la Tierra, protegiendo los ciclos vitales del aire, el agua y la tierra, estabilizando el clima local y global, creando suelos y hábitats para un número enorme de especies, manteniendo economías enteras y nuestra salud.
Los bosques juegan un papel clave en muchos niveles al ser tan básicos e incluso primordiales para los humanos. En esta clase conocemos íntimamente los Bosques, su composición, cómo funcionan y especialmente aprendemos a diseñar Bosques Comestibles, nuestro hábitat humano futuro, si vamos a sobrevivir y prosperar como humanos.
This class provides a solid introduction of the science & technology of the home, covering bio-climactic principles as well as choice of materials, location & design context. But we also question the great emphasis which is put on more & larger construction by the alternative movement these days. BioConstruction or EcoBuilding are terms which technically mean 'construction which promotes life' or 'ecological building', not something which is centered - yet again - on consumerist values: putting human whims & comfort above all else. How or when are these 'bio' & 'construction' terms used in contradictory ways? Do we need to coin a new 'perma-construction' term?
What Energy Sources are available & how do they work?
Civilizations are based on the fuels they use to power themselves. The fuel determines the technologies used, and the technologies determine the lifestyles, economies, and eventually the entire culture. So the transition to sustainable fuels is critical if we wish to design sustainable cultures.
This class explores which fuels can be considered 'renewable' & under which circumstances.
Also we look into the various transformer technologies which are needed to make this energy available to us, how they are most effectively used and we explore what a truly 'solar-powered civilization' might look like.
Why Dana Meadows as the mother of Integral Permaculture?
Dana Meadows was a pioneering environmental scientist, a great system thinker & educator, a leading voice in the environmental movement. She is best known for being the lead author of Limits to Growth, a milestone which alerted the world to the unsustainable course the western model of development was taking, back in 1972. The book, which reported on a study of long-term global trends in population, economics, and the environment, sold millions of copies and was translated into 28 languages & inspired the birth of permaculture, amongst its many of other important influences. A long-time organic farmer, professor & journalist, Meadows had a unique insight, passion & ability for translating the complexities of systems dynamics into practical action-points, some of this we will explore during this class.
What are the fundamental Energy Laws?
There are some basic energy laws the ignorance of which lead us to make very big & avoidable mistakes, as global as peak oil or as individual as believing our salvation will come from 'free energy'. Not understanding the basic laws that govern energy also lead us to staying permanently confused & therefore open to being manipulated with regards to any new technology or 'new miracle fuel' that is proposed. No progress can be made in terms of future energy choices if the majority of the population cannot distinguish myth from science in these important areas, and in this class we aim to firmly lay the foundations for understanding energy, which are also the foundation of any good sustainable design.

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.

tasks is building a Culture of
Resistance.
Cultures of Resistance are important for
many reasons - here are a few:
• They support radical views that
are unpopular in the general
culture
• They aid in training and development of
resistors
• They lead to the creation of
revolutionary and community
organizations
• They allow people with different levels of
engagement in political struggle to support
a movement
• They create space for dialogue
on important subjects
• They serve as the fertile
soil from which effective
resistance movements
grow.
