Not Just Numbers Manual Non-Formal Education PrinciplesDuncan Hodgson
The document outlines seven educational principles for a non-formal educational program called Not Just Numbers:
1. Holistic learning promotes intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative and spiritual development. It is interdisciplinary and involves cognitive, practical, and attitudinal dimensions.
2. Open-ended learning allows for multiple answers and perspectives on complex issues like migration. It encourages self-confidence, critical thinking, and differing opinions.
3. Values clarification gives opportunities to identify, clarify and express beliefs and values, and confront others' perspectives, in a respectful environment.

Children's International Press Centre (Childpress) enables children and adults to work together addressing problems relevant to children through research, investigation, creating methods and publishing tools.

Examples include children in several countries initiating communication concepts on drugs and sustainability, interviewing politicians, and visiting the EU presidency to discuss topics they chose. The goal is for these initiatives to be picked up by teachers worldwide and embedded in classrooms to empower children and connect their topics to authorities.

Refugee academy on voluntary work 16 febElena Ponzoni
This document announces a Refugee Academy meeting to discuss the impact of voluntary work on refugee integration in the Netherlands. Over 1.2 million refugees sought asylum in Europe in 2015, including 43,093 in the Netherlands. The arrival of many refugees has led to challenges in reception but also questions around how to facilitate integration. The meeting will examine how voluntary work can contribute to network building, language learning, mental health, self-development and access to the job market based on experiences of refugees and organizations involved in promoting voluntary work. A program is outlined that includes presentations on recent research and panels with refugees and organizations.

This document discusses Rotarians in Europe helping refugees and contains summaries from three speakers on this topic. The speakers were Elina Lehtinen from CMI in Finland, PDG Safak Alpay from Istanbul-Sisli RC in Turkey, and Roda Hassan, a refugee from Somalia who is now a translator and member of the Turku City Council in Finland. They spoke about the history and current status of the refugee crisis in Europe and ways that Rotarians can help refugees, such as forming an organization to plan, implement, and monitor assistance efforts. Countries should also work together to raise global and district grants to provide legal, educational, social, and medical support to refugees.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
The annual report summarizes the activities of the Global Shapers Kyiv Hub from 2015-2016. It discusses 12 projects and initiatives carried out by the hub, including events on global dignity, youth activism research in Ukraine, and partnership initiatives.

The report also highlights the work of several individual shapers and their contributions to their fields.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
