UNITED NATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME is the united nations global development network established in 1965. its headquarter is in new york city and current head is ACHIM STEINER.
During the 10th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York from the 16 to the 27 May 2011, FAO presented to civil society, Indigenous leaders, Member States, and fellow UN Agencies the new FAO Policy on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples, adopted in August of 2010.
Community Participation should be indispensible element in human settlements,especially in planning strategies and in formulation, implementation and management. It should influence all levels of Government in the decision making process to further the political, social and economic growth of Human settlements. This relates especially to low income and Cost Effective Housing projects denoting squatter settlement upgrading with site and service schemes.
In squatter settlement upgrading projects, the authorities regularize the illegal land tenure of squatters and provide basic infrastructure in the settlements. These interventions are expected to be sufficient incentives for the residents to start improving their houses. In sites-and-services schemes, the authorities provide serviced plots to the urban poor and expect them to produce their own houses, through individual or mutual self-help or the employment of small contractors. Participation assumes an activity in which the community takes part and the involvement of at least one other party, usually a government agency or a nongovernmental organization (NGO). Community participation is sometimes used to indicate community self reliance or self-help, i.e. an activity which is usually undertaken by a government agency, is undertaken by the community on its own (e.g. spontaneous housing).
The United Nations defined community development as "the processes by which the efforts of the people themselves are united with those of governmental authorities to improve the economic, social and cultural conditions of communities, to integrate these communities into the life of the nation and to enable them to contribute fully to national progress."

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.
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.

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.

2. Question
You are given a task by the mayor of your hometown to evaluate and give suggestion on how to
plan the town in accordance with Local Agenda 21. Write a brief report on your evaluation and
suggestion.
Answer
Local Agenda 21 is a local-government-led, community-wide, and participatory effort to
establish a comprehensive action strategy for environmental protection, economic prosperity and
community well-being in the local jurisdiction or area. This requires the integration of planning
and action across economic, social and environmental spheres. Key elements are full community
participation, assessment of current conditions, target setting for achieving specific goals,
monitoring and reporting.
This Local Agenda 21 development can be planning in my hometown with more
systematically in order to achieve better environmental protection, economic prosperity and
community well-being in the local jurisdiction or area to fulfil the residents need to get
better lifestyle, source of economical income, improve development performance and
environment consideration.
The are a few achievement that certain city can get by practicing element in Local
Agenda 21 which was the resources are being used efficiently and waste that produced will be
minimised. In term of its environment, the amount of pollution is limited and the diversity of
nature is valued and protected. Next, every community has access to good food, water shelter
and fuel at reasonable cost. Not only that, their community’s good health is protected by creating
safe, clean, pleasent environments and health services which emphasize preventation of illness
asa well as proper care of thefor the sick.
In term of transportation, the access to facilities, services, goods and other people is not
achieved at the expense of the environment or limited to those with cars. In term of safety,
people will live without fear of personal violence from crime or persecution because of their
personal beliefs, race, ganderor sexuality.
3. In term of society, skills, knowledge and information that citizen gain and needed enable
them to play a full part in society life. All sections of community are empowered to participate in
decision making. Lastly, oppotunities for culture, leisure and recreation are readily available to
all place, and link are developed with other parts of the world.
In Local Agenda 21, operationalism plays an important role. There are 3 parts of
operationalisation as follow:
1) Internal to local goverment
The basic principles had be include in the Agenda can be participated or activated by
many organizations and operations of a local government. For my hometown, local
goverment that was involved is Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS). Those organization
can planning and manage procedures in local project including preparing development
plans. Development of network and social infrastructure, and management of day to day
maintenance including waste collection and disposal also included.
2) Local goverment’s interaction with its citizens
Nowadays, any changes in urban lifestyles have far reaching consequences, positive and
negative on the local and global environment. Thus, many education and training in
environmental issues, and information campaigns awareness building need to be done.
3) External to local goverment
There are some actions that local goverments can only influence but there was also some
decision making process is outside of their control. Some the issues are green business,
product and safety standards, green tourism, labour practices and activities of the civil
society at large including community groups such as NGOs. For those issues, goverment
can effluent but cannot control the issues.
4. There are 6 keys of elements of Local agenda 21. Based on these, the evaluation and suggestion
toward my hometown on how to plan my hometown in accordance with Local Agenda 21 will be
explained:
1) Managing and improving the local authority’s own environmental performance
From my evaluation, the environmental performance was still low and lack of
proper implementation. This should be upgraded for a better performance.
My suggestions are by taking action by corporate commitment, staff training and
awareness raising, environmental management systems, environmental budgeting,
and create policy integration across sectors.
2) Integrating sustainable development aims into the local authority’s policies and
activities.
My suggestions by improving land use planning, transport policies and
programmes, economic development, tendering and purchase splits, housing
services, health strategies, and explicitly environmental services. Not only that,
the frequence of green housekeeping can be increased.
3) Awareness raising and education
From my evaluation, the awareness raising and education was still not impressive.
There are still children that not being aware about this situation.
My suggestions are to take initiaves to encourage behaviour change and practical
action by giving support for environment education. My community also can
create awareness raising events within society especially to those who unfamiliar
with this.
5. 4) Consulting and involving the general public
From my evaluation, this element is cultivated in my hometown even not
thoroughly. Meeting is being held once in a month in order to do some discussion
regarding problem occured in my residential area. And to get the feedback some
of questionnaire regarding problems/difficulties and its solution faces by
residents.
My suggestions are to implement the public consultation processes, doing some
disscussions and planning this hometown in Parishmaps to divide the area
according to the economic base.
5) Partnership
My suggestions are by doing frequent meetings, workshops and conferences
which inclede points based on sustainability development. It will be more
efficient if the residents working in groups or advisory groups. Round tables
should be done to go through any issue arising from any members. A plan on how
environment city model should be improvised can be a good idea as Local
Agenda 21 is promotingsustainable development.
6) Measuring, monitoring and reporting on progress towards sustainability
My suggestions are to create many activities that aim to target for developing the
hometown for every month and try to do some environmentalmonitoring to make
sure the planning is implementing properly and continuously. The Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) should be carried out thoroughly and strategic
environmental assessment to produce more effective actions.
