Released in 2015, Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si’: On Care For Our Common Home offers a wide-ranging vision for people of goodwill to take action to better care for our common home. The Pope speaks as a moral and spiritual guide, not as a scientist or a politician. This encyclical is addressed to “every person living on the planet” and aims “to enter into dialogue with all people about our common home.”

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

1. TOWNSVILLE
Since the start of Term 3, Townsville YCS has been in full throttle!
Beginning the second half of the year, YCS students assisted the running of the Catholic diocese’s
family fun day which involved face painting, soccer, arts, crafts and other activities.
Continuing the Cafe Conversations tradition established in co-operation with the Townsville Catholic
Education Office, YCS students participated in Review of Life’s with the broader community about
homelessness, which was eye opening for all those involved.
We also had the opportunity to attend the “Fire – Music Ministry Masterclass & Youth Rally”, where we
were able to deepen our Catholic faith and learn awesome new music skills.
In exciting news, we welcomed a new YCS group in Term 3 - Saints Catholic College! For their first
review, they choose the topic of sustainability, with their actions being “clean up JCU day”, and selling
environmentally friendly socks to raise money for charity. They also participated in the Refugees
March, Lids4kids, and donated 16 full boxes of goods to the St Vincent de Paul Society. The group
were also excited to establish a new relationship with Orange Sky.

TOWNSVILLE CONTD.
Our annual camp was a success, with students participating in useful formation sessions, a Review of
Life and countless activities and games. The 3-day camp allowed students to engage deeper in their
Catholic faith with captivating prayer and gospel reflection sessions, and activities that shared the
story of our founder, Joseph Cardijn. We were thrilled to involve four new students from schools that
don’t currently have YCS groups.
The Review of Life topic the students picked was Domestic Violence. The level of maturity and
insights the students displayed was impressive. The action they chose to undertake is a community
Domestic Violence Awareness Day, which will educate attendees about ways they can seek help when
they’re struggling, as well as providing a sense of community and belonging. The planning for this
group is currently taking place. We have seen the fruits of the camp in the students leading it (some
only in Year 8 or 9) who have increased confidence and passion to take the reins in their local groups.
We couldn’t have achieved such a successful camp without the constant support of the diocese. We
are grateful all the support shown to us by priests, diocesan staff, and the broader YCS team.
The Community Group has been going strong, with students from schools across the diocese meeting
regularly. A topic they chose this year was social media misuse, where the students raised awareness
regarding the ‘permanency’ of what‘s posted online. They also encouraged people to disconnect from
technology, and reconnect with each other offline.
Ryan Catholic College completed a Review of Life on mental health, with the outcome being a ‘Stress
free day’ for students at the school.
St Margaret Mary’s first issue of closing the gap (a Review that originally began at National Leadership
in Action Training), ran an interactive session that was based on preventing racism. The students also
held a successful book swap for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. The students sold the leftover
books at one of the Rotary Markets on the holidays in an effort to raise further money for the cause.
We ended the year with a Rock Climbing celebration, where we recognised the hard work of the
students and completed a final reflective Review of Life.

and droughts.
The students in our YCS group at St Agnes Catholic High School identified that climate injustice is a
hot issue that we’re passionate about and completed a Review of Life regarding our impact on the
environment. Our See section was filled with factual evidence and personal stories, comprising of
newspaper articles, online information and video clips. We witnessed a great deal of harm to flora and
fauna, and as a group we discussed the causes and impacts, mapping out the information in a mind
map. The Judge section allowed us to delve into our views and feelings about the environment’s
current state. Supported heavily by scripture passages, we analysed climate injustice according to our
faith. We understand that God has entrusted us as stewards of his creation, however we recognise
that we have taken advantage of our beautiful earth and are increasingly contributing to the declining
health of our environment. Focusing on the issue of single-use plastics in our Act section, our group
decided to tackle the issue head on, in an effort to reduce plastic shopping bag use. We are currently
holding a school-wide competition for tote bag designs which focus on raising awareness of our
environmental impacts. With the submissions now in, we are hoping to finalise the project in early
2020 and have narrowed the design to two contenders. Once we begin selling the bags, we plan on
donating the proceeds to an organisation (to be decided) that focuses on protecting our environment.

We also farewelled our YCS group at Loyola Senior High School, as the school transitioned into

memories throughout the past few years. In Term 3 & 4 the group took action homelessness and
global warming.

5. PERTH
We are excited to announce, not one, but two new workers in Perth! Meet the husband and wife duo,
Tom & Emily:
G’day, I’m Tom! My wife (Emily Meagher)
and I will be tag-teaming YCS in Perth. I’m
a recent Catholic convert, a coffee snob, a
philosophy/theology nerd and a politics
nut. I’m passionate about the social
justice vision which is firmly grounded
within the Christian tradition and I am
always keen to burn myself out to see it
realised in our beautiful country. Emily and
I are expecting a daughter in March and I
can’t wait to play cricket with her, make
some really dumb jokes and read her Alice
in Wonderland before bed. I’m excited to
meet wonderful people through YCS and
be a part of seeing young people unlock
their potential as they work to create what
Dorothy Day called “little cells of joy and
peace in a harried world”.
Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a recent Catholic convert
and I love people, culture, history, art and
politics. I am currently studying a double
degree in International Relations and
International business and am soon to be
mother of a beautiful baby girl with my
husband (Tom). I am passionate about
helping the vulnerable, the marginalised
and seeing the disadvantaged reach their
full potential. I can’t wait to be a part of
YCS and be a part of this global
movement. I love what Pope Benedict XVI
said about peace, that it is “not merely a
gift to be received: it is also a task to be
undertaken. In order to be true
peacemakers, we must educate ourselves
in compassion, solidarity, working
together, fraternity, in being active within
the community”.
