Perchè dobbiamo ripensare l'approccio alla manifattura? Quali sono i segnali e le forze che ci obbligano ad un cambio di paradigma?
Designer, makers, artigiani: figure in sovrapposizione, competenze interscambiabili, necessità di ibridare con un pensiero che coinvolge visione, economia, design strategico e un utilizzo delle tecnologie di comunicazione, distribuzione e relazione costruendo filiere personalizzate, proprio come i bisogni delle persone.
Una lezione che ho avuto l'opportunità e l'onore di tenere presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Innovazione a Lecce, Università del Salento, nell'ambito dell'iniziativa Laboratori dal Basso, promosso e organizzato dall'associazione BioDesArt.
Nel contesto del convegno "Rigenerazione delle Aree Industriali" organizzato dal Consorzio Attività Produttive di Modena il 02 dicembre 2015, ho cercato di individuare un ruolo dei fab lab e makerspace come epicentro di filiere digitalizzate locali, immaginando inoltre quali linee guida adottare nelle strategie di recupero urbano connesse alla manifattura.
Open Economy Society - fab lab as strategic model for new supply chainsAndrea Cattabriga
How a society where collaborating it's the rule looks like ?
How fablabs and all kind of shared microfactories could be key players in the near future?
We are facing a season of big changes, that someone called "big shift", where I'm observing an "open-everything" mood in response to the growing complexity of problems affecting our socio-economical infrastructures.
In this presentation showed at SMAU - Research to Business 2016 Bologna, I try to design a collaborative multi-level ecosystem where "smart factories" are accessible by smaller manufacturers, where SMEs are networked and supported to adapt to continuous changes (not necessarily forced to scale) and where, at the same time, peer-production and open networks, as well as individuals and communities are empowered and helped in succeeding.
Feedbacks are welcome :)

Fab Care and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); Pieter van der HijdenPieter van der Hijden
Fab17 panel: "Working Group FabCare "; Jimbaran Hub, Bali, Indonesia, October 18th, 2022
The UN SDGs are a globally accepted reference framework for socio-economic issues including health and care, they set common goals for all countries for the year 2030 and they are provided with indicators and a system of monitoring to track progress.
We indicate the role health and care play within the SDGs and which fablabs have SDG profiles that show they are interested in this or want to contribute.
Based on current data on the state of “care” within various countries, we can see where the existing fablabs could have the most impact with regard to care. And which themes are preferable to tackle.
A Mind Shift in Mind Mapping; Pieter van der Hijden; Sofos Consultancy, Amste...Pieter van der Hijden
Mindmapping via a “hand tool” is great. With data becoming more and more important it is time to automate it. We developed a simple command language and interpreter (Corel/Mindmanager Macro) to do so.
For more than 20 years mindmapping has been my personal productivity booster. It helps to organize my thoughts, to play on different fields, to plan, to develop and to write. With data becoming more and more important, it is time for a next round.
Spending time with mindmapping software as part of a creative process, planning or writing is a pleasure. But spending time to visualize information is becoming more and more a load. It certainly is possible, but it takes often too much time and energy. As an example, look at the Figure 1. It is very simple in structure; it has a central topic, 13 main topics (picture only) and an additional main topic with some statistics.
Figure 1 - Simple mindmap, nevertheless a lot of work
In this example the creative part of the process to produce the map is rather limited. Maybe you need two minutes to set-up the main idea. But be honest, how many minutes will it take to produce the complete map? and even worse: this map is about UN Sustainable Development Goal #09. There are 17 such goals, so producing such a map for each of these goals will cost you 17 times that amount of time. All this time you can not spend to creative and more engaging processes!
Mindmapping software is like a Swiss Army Knife, a fantastic tool in all kinds of situations. However, this tool needs the hands of a human all the time. So there is an upper limit to the fun you can have with it. In complex applications (eg a map with 100 nodes, decorated with images, markers, hyperlinks etc.), using the tool is too laborious. In series production (eg a series of 17 maps), the repetition becomes boring.
We have to distinguish creative work from creating graphics. The latter should become more and more data driven and automated.

Schoolklassen, studie/projectgroepen, trainingsgroepen: vanwege COVID-19 zitten de deelnemers thuis en liggen onderwijs, projectwerk of trainingen zo goed als stil. ECOIS stelt daarom het Ministerie van OWC, onderwijsinstellingen en trainingsbureaus voor om met spoed over te schakelen op modern afstandsonderwijs dat thuis gevolgd kan worden; óók als daar niet eenmaal 24 uur stroom en/of internet is. De aanpak kan zowel top-down vanuit de organisaties als bottom-up via pilots op initiatief van individuele leerkrachten, leraren, coördinatoren en trainers plaatsvinden. ECOIS wil daar met raad en daad bij helpen en start daarom de campagne "Zet vandaag nog uw klas online".

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.

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
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

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.

Editor's Notes
To conclude: We welcome you to Switi Sranan.
You all know now where on earth it is, what makes us special and how we can cooperate in the near future.
And of course, I hope that next year, people from Suriname will attend the Fab10 international conference in Barcelona and give their annual update themselves.
Thank you very much!
