Accelerated learning can be attained through a process called meta-learning; or learning how to learn. We as humans seem to think that we have a very limited brain, with a limited capacity to store new knowledge — we are under the notion that, in order to retain something new, we must let go of something old.
A group program using Compassion Focused Therapy, adapted from the book CFT Made Easy by Russel Kolts, and The Power of Self Compassion by Mary Welford and the Untethered Soul by Michael Singer
In the Frames of Mind workshop delegates explore the five minds proposed by Howard Gardner, and how we can effectively deal with challenges and opportunities by developing a wider frame of reference. The workshop provides tools for each of the five minds.
Are you inspired and enjoy learning from history to effect future change in leadership? If so, the Jefferson Leadership session will be a perfect fit for you. This workshop will focus on Jefferson’s leadership skills and political character through his executive roles as Governor of Virginia, Minister to France, Secretary of State, and two-term President of the United States. One of the most ambitious and successful leaders of the Founding generation, Jefferson deployed three fundamental leadership qualities throughout his forty-year career: mastery of the art of communication, decisive decision-making and strategic planning, and a long-term focus on shaping his “leadership legacy” for future generations. We will focus on specific illustrations of these traits—as critical for leaders today as they were in Jefferson’s time—using case studies from Jefferson’s political career and several of his own letters and documents. Through them, we will gain a better understanding of the nature of Jefferson’s success as well as his lessons for modern executives.

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.

7. Discussion: My Brain
Teacher show the children the picture of
the brain. Describe the brain, it’s location,
approximate size. Let the children know
that every person and animal has a brain.
Give examples like dogs, cats, monkeys,
fish, etc. Explain that we have brains
because we are alive and that our brains
help us in many ways. Every living thing has
a type of brain. Explain that every part of
our body is connected to our brain. Show
the diagram of the nervous system.
9. Discussion: My Brain
Ask the kids these questions to explain how
our brains work
What kinds of things do our brains do?
Learn new things
Senses
Think about things
etc
10. Discussion: Memory
Everything that we see, touch, taste, smell,
or hear is copied and stored in our brains.
Can you remember what you ate for
breakfast today?
That is because your brain was paying
attention. We call this memory. As we get
older there are things we will remember
really well, and things we will not remember
so well, but EVERYTHING is still in there. Our
brains remember it for us.
11. Discussion: Thoughts
Our thoughts are also stored in our brains.
Whatever we think about stays in there.
The wonderful thing about our thoughts is
that we can choose what we think about.
We get to decide if we want to think about
a book we like to read or (more examples
of fun things).
Ask the children:
What do you like to think about?
These are all good choices.
12. Discussion: Thoughts
Isit more fun to think about playing
outside or cleaning up your room?
Give some more examples of positive or
negative things kids might think about.
How do you feel when you think about
(positive examples)?
When we think about things that make us
happy, how do we feel?
And what about when we think about
things that are sad?
13. Activity: Thought Choices
We get to choose which one to think about. All
we have to do is start thinking about the things
that make us happier.
Think about something that makes you really
happy (give examples like a pet, birthday
party etc).
Close your eyes, and make a picture of it in
your mind.
What does it look like? Does it smell? Does it
taste? What does it feel like? Does it make a
noise?
14. Activity: Thought Choices
Allow the children to keep thinking of their
good things for about a minute
Now how do you feel?
Was it fun to think of things that make us
happy?
We can do this any time we want to. We just
choose to focus on something that makes us
happy. You can do this at night before you go
to bed or when you first wake up.
15. Discussion: Skills and Talents
Has someone ever told you that you have
done a really good job at something?
Have you ever tried something that you
thought would be hard?
What happened?
Did you practice and practice until you
got better?
16. Discussion: Skills and Talents
When we practice something over and
over again our brain remembers how we
did it and helps us to get better. Eventually
it becomes something that you can do
easily without even thinking about it. We
call this a talent or skill.
What is your talent? What are you good
at? What is a skill you have?
How do you feel when you talk about
your talents and skills?
17. Activity: Positive Thoughts
Pass out the
Positive thoughts
handout and let
the children
draw or write in
their talents and
skills and things
that make them
happy.
18. Discussion: Positive
Thoughts Handout
Do you remember what I told you about
the brain recording everything that we see,
touch, taste, smell, and feel and what we
think?
Look at the pictures you just drew.
Are these things we want our brains to
remember?
Are these things we want to think more
about?
19. Discussion: Positive
Thoughts Handout
Have you ever been called a name you
don’t like?
How does that make you feel?
Is it true?
Look at your picture you just drew. What
do you think you can do when someone
says something about you that is not true
or calls you a name?
What do you think you can do when you
are sad?
21. Discussion: Breathing
Our brains have a lot of jobs. And the amazing
thing about our brains is that they do these jobs
all at the same time. Our brain works so fast, that
scientists are still learning just how fast our brains
work and how many things they do.
Show the diagram of the nervous system again.
If we could watch our thoughts travel from our
heads to our toes, it would move so fast that we
might not even see it. That is how fast our brains
are.
22. Discussion: Breathing
The signals that go from our brain to our
body happen all the time, mostly without us
thinking about it.
One example is BREATHING. Let’s take a
minute to listen to our breathing.
Breathe in, breathe out.
In. Out.
(now breathe in and out without talking)
23. Video Instructions
On the next page, click the photo. You will
be taken to the PBS Kids website videos
page. You have to scroll through the videos
to “Breathing Investigation” which is just a
few clicks down.
After breathing investigation click “songs”
on the left and go to “Breathe In Breath
Out”.
The kids do not need to nap, but allow
them to listen to their breathing while the
music plays.
24. Relaxation Investigation
Teacher: play
the video
Relaxation
investigation
then play the
song about
breathing.
25. Discussion: Breathing
Now ask:
How do you feel?
We just spent a minute thinking about our
breathing, but what happens when we
don’t think about it, are we still breathing?
Our brain continues to tell our body to
breathe even when we are not thinking
about breathing. This is one way that our
brain helps us without us even knowing it.
26. Discussion: Wrap up
Review with the children:
What our brains do for us
How we choose what to think about
How we feel when we think of positive vs
negative things
How to replace criticism/name calling
with positive ideas
How breathing works
How we feel when we listen to our
breathing
