Ethics Beyond the Plate presentation by Leigh-Chantelle at Bali Vegan FestivalLeigh-Chantelle
Leigh-Chantelle from Viva la Vegan! gives her Ethics Beyond the Plate presentation at the 2nd Bali Vegan Festival.
Sunday 9 October
Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
The blurb:
With the mainstream media watering down the meaning of veganism with it's dietary, fitness and weight-loss focus, is the vegan movement losing its core ethics? There are many reasons and benefits to go - and stay - vegan. Including the environment, labour rights, human rights, animal rights, ethics, feminism, and other intersectionality issues. How can we learn from other social justice movements to move forward in a more inclusive and intersectional way? If more people stay vegan long-term due to ethical reasons, how can we promote consciousness-raising, non-oppression, non-objectification, and anti-consumerism for and beyond the vegan lifestyle?
Find out more about how we can work together as vegans and activists to promote inclusivity, learn from other movements, and lead by example to promote compassion to ALL we encounter. Learn how to become a more effective activist and make these much-needed changes with Leigh-Chantelle's Ethics Beyond the Plate talk.

How mums decide what's healthy (summary)Jeremy Hollow
Throughout the year we conduct research as part of our Original Insights series.
These are projects we commission ourselves, to explore interesting questions and showcase social listening research as a tool for making better decisions.
Our starting point for this work was the realisation that food advice has become deafening. It feels like everyday there’s a new diet, new scare or a new miracle cure.
But, we all know it’s more complicated than the headlines make out.
Helping your family eat well and be healthy is a life-long, every day mission, one with many twists and turns.
So we decided to explore: how mums in the UK talk about being healthy, how and who they’re influenced by, and see what this means for brands.
And so our starting point became: how do UK mums decide what’s healthy?

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.
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.
