ENVIRONMENTAL WORKFORCE FOR AFRICA BRIEF BY WASTE OR CREATE HUB.pdfChineyenwaOkoroonu1
Africa has significant natural wealth but its greatest asset is its largely youthful population. The population of Africa is fast expanding and the youth continue to face a multitude of challenges, including unemployment and environmental degradation.
Unemployment is particularly challenging and in the next few years there will be many
young job seekers. This can only serve to exacerbate poverty, and the ripple effects of
youth unemployment in Africa are already resulting in social unrest and unsafe migration even as they threaten global peace and security. The other pertinent issue
across Africa today is how much the continent should invest in environmental
sustainability, being that the region contributes very little to the burning challenges of
global warming and environmental degradation, while it suffers the most in terms of
health, economic, geographical and social consequences. Water pollution, air pollution,
and droughts are the continent’s most serious environmental issues, all of which have
very strong negative effects on the health of Africans.
In order to mitigate both unemployment and environmental degradation, there is a need
for new development models that can drive youth job creation while drastically reducing
environmental risks and ecological scarcities. The green economy offers a world of
business and job opportunities. However, many of these avenues remain unknown and
therefore untapped in this part of the world. An inclusive green economy is a pathway
towards eradicating poverty, achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
and safeguarding the ecological thresholds which underpin human health, well-being,
and development.
Waste Or Create Hub has developed a new strategy, Environmental Workforce For
Africa. This 5-year strategy breaks down how we intend to enable the youth to the work
opportunities that abound in the green economy and provide skills training that will
equip the workforce to take up challenges and innovate with the knowledge acquired,
thereby providing a sustainable and viable means of livelihood that the youth can
embrace. The strategy gives the youth the opportunity to become young environmental
sustainability professionals and the enabling environment to develop their experience in
the green economy space with adequate tools, knowledge, and resources. This strategy
also exposes the young environmentalists in the making to continuous learning as they
adapt to the dynamics in the industry. The strategy gives individuals, private and public
stakeholders, global communities, donors and partners, the opportunity to see the need
to generate new business growth opportunities by treating social and environmental
challenges as unmet market needs.
Significant strides have been made towards the Millennium Development Goals, yet reaching all the goals by the 2015 deadline remains challenging, as the world's poorest are being left behind.

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.
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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

IntroIntro
Africa is predominantly a youthful continent, and not any
time soon stop being young
In 2005, it was estimated that Africa had an overall
population of 922 million and the projection for 2010
was over 1 billion people, 70 % of the population is 35
years and below
Sub-SaharanAfrica is home to over 200 million young
people aged 12 - 24,
Intro 2Intro 2
Agriculture in Sub-Saharan African economies, supports
between 70 and 80 percent of employment and
contributing an average of 30 percent of gross domestic
product (GDP) and at least 40 percent of exports (IFPRI,
2009)
The ILO estimates that 88.2 million young women and
men are unemployed globally, accounting for 47% of all
unemployed persons

income; hence affecting economic development
The worst affected are rural youths especially those
residing in farming communities, peri-urban areas

Research has proved that women, children and youth
health are the most affected by climate change (WHO,
2008:UNFPA, 2009; UNICEF, 2009
Heat waves, injuries after floods or fire, food and water
borne diseases, allergies, famine, malaria and other
disease are on the increase in the region and this is
taking a negative toll in the lives of young people a case
in point is Sierra Leone where life expectancy is from 15
to 29 years and most of the deaths are linked to diseases
like malaria. Hotter climates increase climate born
diseases like malaria.

AfricaYouth response to CCAfricaYouth response to CC
AfricanYouth have been responding to climate change by
mobilizing their peers at national, sub-regional and
regional levels throughThe AfricanYouth Initiative on
Climate Change (AYICC) and other social networks.
With limited resources the network has been able to
create awareness about climate change among young
people and grassroots communities, the UNFCCC
Negotiation process and has successfully established
AYICC National Chapters in almost all the countries
in the region.
