Creative Advertising (case of Benetton company) by Aleksey NarkoAliaksey Narko
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the role of creativity in advertising, how it works and what is its effect on the general public. Theoretical part of the thesis explains what creativity is, presents creative advertising as one of the essential parts of modern marketing and describes the usage of creative techniques in promotion by Benetton brand of clothing. Empirical part investigates opinions of the respondents on the topic of the costs, effectiveness and influence of advertisements, in particular creative ones with the example of Benetton. The research shows that advertising is a powerful method to influence consumers’ buying decision and there is a moderate relationship between quality of advertising and quality of the product. Moreover the results show that word-of-mouth advertising is the most effective and one of the cheapest ways to advertise the product or service, while billboards and internet webpages ads seem to be the most visible to the public. More than 45% of the consumers see the substantial relationship between the money spent on advertising and product sales. 40% of the respondents have never heard or don’t know much about creative advertising, 70% of them agree that creative ads are more effective than traditional ones and almost the same number of the respondents knows Benetton brand of clothing. Only 20% of the respondents that know Benetton brand admit that their ads are neither interesting nor special.

Happy Schools: A UNESCO Framework for Learner Well-Being in the Asia-Pacifichappy_schools_project
Presenter: Ramya Vivekanandan
Position: Programme Specialist
Organization: UNESCO Bangkok
Country: Thailand
Abstract:
In view of the challenges students face in today’s competitive, stress-fueled, and test-focused world, the theme of happiness has come to the forefront of the global policy agenda, having been recently recognized in the United Nations General Assembly 2011 Resolution as a ‘fundamental human goal’ and in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as related to the quality of education and well-being. The importance of happiness in schools has also attracted global attention as global indices such as the Better Life Index and international assessments including PISA aim to measure the linkages between learner happiness and the quality of education.
As such, UNESCO Bangkok launched the Happy Schools Project to find out what makes for a happy school based on the voices of students, teachers, parents and others at the heart of the school community. Research was conducted from June 2014 to November 2015 with the aim of understanding what factors describe a happy school and to identify qualitative variables on school happiness that could potentially be measured. The research methods included a desk study, a workshop with schools from ASEAN member countries, a survey, and a seminar.
The main outcome of the study is the Happy Schools Framework, which consists of 22 criteria for a happy school, grouped into three broad categories of People, Process and Place, as well as strategies for achieving these criteria in schools. The Happy Schools Framework calls for education systems to shift away from traditional measures and to instead embrace diversity of talents and intelligence by recognizing values, strengths and competencies that contribute to enhancing happiness. Informed greatly by positive psychology, this new UNESCO Framework will be shared during this presentation.
Talk given at Youth-Nex, at the University of Virginia. During the last decade, there have been significant advances in social and emotional learning (SEL) research, practice, and policy. This talk will highlight key areas of progress and challenges as we broadly implement school-family-community partnerships to foster positive behavioral, academic, and life outcomes for preschool to high school students. My goal for this presentation is to provide a foundation to foster group discussion about future priorities for the next decade.
The philosophical basis of education emphasizes that philosophy is the end and education is the means to achieve that end. In other words, philosophy determines the goal of life and education tries to achieve the goal through its aims and curriculum.

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.
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.
