Lotería de Muertos (Day of the Dead Bingo)ron mader
Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is an annual celebration that manifests a rich blend of Catholic and indigenous traditions.
Spirits of the beloved dead return to their homes and visit for a short time with their families and friends. The first day of November the souls of departed children arrive, and on the second day of November they are joined by spirits of adults. Like all visitors, they are welcomed with food, drink, stories, memories and good will. Their presence is considered a blessing and brings joy to their loved ones.
In preparation for this celebration, the last days of October are spent preparing special loaves of sweet bread (pan de muerto), and desserts; making mole, harvesting special flowers, including marigolds (cempasúchil); creating altars in the home and decorating grave sites. Decorations in the form of whimsical skeletons and candy skulls abound. Death is not to be feared but embraced.

This presentation was given during a seminar in Kuhmo, Finland on 14 August 2012. The seminar was about sharing exerience and lessons learned with Finnish entrepreneurs about wilderness and wildlife tourism. PAN Parks was showcased along with some of my private experience.
Sunshine Himalayan Adventures: Founded in 1996 , Sunshine Himalayan Adventures (SHA) is an approved EcoTour Operator in the Northern Indian State of Himachal Pradesh (HP) and the one permitted to offer tours in the pristine wilderness of India’s newest National Park – The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP). SHA is dedicated to responsible Eco-tourism principles and tour products that are environmentally sustainable and economically beneficial to the local people. We offer our clients the opportunity to experience the beauty and wonder of the Western Himalayan ecosystem and the exciting culture of the renowned Kullu Valley, known throughout India as the “The Valley of Gods.” The ecotourism program continues developing a paradigm wherein local villagers actually benefit from having their ancestral lands turned into a wilderness preserve. Part of the plan is to train local youths in eco-tourism and trekking so that more resources become available to them than ever in the past while wild nature is preserved for posterity. A plan of simple elegance and sweeping implications!

Wilderness and the future of nature conservation in EuropeZoltan Kun
This presentation was provided during the annual conference of Austrian National Parks in Hainburg on 12 December 2012. The conference was attended by roughly 150 people among them managers of several potential PAN Parks.
this is a presentation given during the Outdoor Show in Friedrichshafen in 2011. Thanks for the European Outdoor Conservation Association for providing its generous support of 25 000 EUR for this project in Küre Mountains, Turkey.
Welcome Visitors: Critical success factors, Anna SpenceleyAnna Spenceley
A presentation mad during a World Parks Congress event "Welcome Visitors: Making Tourism Work for Protected Areas and Sustainable Development: Part 1 – Critical Success Factors" that took place on 17 November 2014 in Sydney, Australia. Supported by the IUCN WCPA Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist Group and UNDP
This presentation was used during the 10th Europe's Wilderness Days to launch The Million Project which aims at guaranteeing the protection of at least 1 million hectares of wilderness in Europe by 2015. It allows organisations and individuals to join our effort to strengthen wilderness protection on our continent. Enjoy reading and promoting The Million Project
I presented this during the Europarc 2012 annual conference. The presentation has two parts: 1) chronological view of how wilderness protection evolved between 2008 and 2012, 2) what PAN Parks is planning to contribute to wilderness protection in Europe in 2013
Enjoy reading and sharing it!
This presentation was given during the TEEB conference in Leipzig on 22 March 2012. I was trying to make the case that wilderness areas require a special attention when applying the TEEB principles, because their direct use values are very limited, very often '0'. This was the first presentation when I was trying to visualise our The Million Project saying that this would mean wilderness protection of the size of Cyprus. While we have already covered Germany with concrete to make a whole country a concrete jungle.
During the future of Wild Europe conference organised in the framework of the Environmental Humanities for a Concerned Europe project in University of Leeds, I presented my paper which summarised the road leading to the European Parliament's Resolution on Wilderness the achievements between 2009 and 2016, and highlighted 11 key recommendations for the future. Enjoy reading it and I hope my recommendations will be of use to further strengthen European wilderness policy
In cooperation with Sheila Wren from the John Muir Trust I presented the concept of the European Wilderness Convention during the 1st European Wilderness Academy (www.wilderness.academy)
The approach to protecting and enhancing wild placesZoltan Kun
During the Wilderness Academy in Mittersill, Austria, Stuart Brooks the CEO of John Muir Trust was talking about the Scottish experience of preserving wildlands for future generations. He highlighted the philosophy of rewilding and the 3-step approach of JMT to work for better protection of of wild areas:
- to protect
- to enhance
- to ENGAGE
Mapping wilderness in Europe with special focus on wilderness registerZoltan Kun
During the Wilderness Academy days, Steve Carver from Wildland Research Institute c/o University of Leeds presented his experience of mapping wilderness in Europe
Protecting wilderness and UNESCO World Heritage through public engagementZoltan Kun
Luke Chamberlain from Australia shared his experience on how public engagement helped Wilderness Australia to designate the Tasmanian Forest Wilderness as UNESCO World Heritage Site and later to protect it from delisting!
Natura 2000 and wilderness - the link to European policyZoltan Kun
in the lack of the representation of the European Commission, the Chairman of the European Wilderness Society put together a presentation about the link between wilderness protection and European Union policy in Europe.
Wilderness Academy: Opening keynote speech by Victoria HaslerZoltan Kun
"Thank God the highway is not as broad as it is long"
Victoria Hasler opened the 1st European Wilderness Academy days in Mittersill in the visitor centre of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Salzburg, Among other things she was talking about the innovative ways how the Ministry for Livable Austria tries to bring nature and wilderness closer to people! Examples were the Sounds like Nature and the Vienna Fashion Week projects
Presentation at Natura 2000 biogeographical seminarZoltan Kun
This was the presentation which I hold during the ECNC, CEEWEB workshop on Natura 2000 biogreographical process. I used the Kalkalpen National Park as an example how wilderness and non-intervention management might be implemented in Europe, in mountains and in Natura 2000 sites
Introduction to the work and MANTRA of the European Wilderness SocietyZoltan Kun
The European Wilderness Society is a citizens' inititative based on the outcomes of the 10th World Wilderness Congress. The organisation has a simple mantra: MORE WILDERNESS IN EUROPE.
We translated our mantra into a simple goal to protect 5% of Europe based on wilderness principles. More in the presentation
This is a presentation which introduces the basic information and various deadlines linked to the IUCN's 2014 World Parks Congress which is to be organised in Sidney in November.
The presentation belongs to Kathy S. MacKinnon and was used during the meeting of the Steering Committee of the European section of the World Commission on Protected Areas in London on 16-17 April 2014.
Enlarging the European Wilderness Preservation SystemZoltan Kun
The European Wilderness Society http://wilderness-society.org hold its first 60 minutes wilderness webinar on 18 December 2013. The event was focused on introducing the society and explaining our target of 5% wilderness cover in the continent.
This is the PowerPoint presentation of the 2nd speaker, Vlado Vancura, wilderness advocate who has 2 decades of experience how to protect wilderness in US, Canada, and of course Europe. His speech will soon also be available in an audio version
The webinar is to be repeated on the 8 January 2014
The presentation from Prof Mark Fisher of the Wildland Research Institute (WRI) which argued for a European Wilderness Convention as a new legal framework for improving the protection of wilderness across Europe
Combining wilderness and tourism, is it mission impossible?Zoltan Kun
During the WILD10 conference PAN Parks had a session focused on sharing our lessons learned and experiences about how to combine wilderness and tourism.
One of our speakers was Max Rossberg who currently helps PAN Parks PR and Marketing work but has a great experience about tourism as UNWTO expert.
PAN Parks, the European Wilderness WatchdogZoltan Kun
During the WILD10 conference (10th World Wilderness Congress), my colleague Vlado Vancura was presenting PAN Parks and highlighted the importance of our verification process, which audits the management effectiveness of wilderness areas across Europe.
This process makes PAN Parks the European Wilderness Watchdog.
We have the unique expertise to check the existence of wilderness and advise protected areas how to improve management effectiveness
This third-party evidence based verification is going to be the basis of our newly developed Wilderness Integrated Management (WIM, working title) system.
What makes a good conservation writer? The view of an editorZoltan Kun
As a member of the International League of Conservation Writer (ILCW), I was invited to speak at the ILCW 2nd session during the 10th World Wilderness Congress aka WILD10.
My presentation was focused on what conditions I think make a good conservation writer. I was of course focusing on writing for EUrope's wilderness. Therefore my openbing statement was: we refuse very few slips, because we need more stories arguing for the protection of Europe's wilderness.
This is the presentation which I delivered in Salamanca during the 10th World WILDERNESS Congress (aka WILD10) on 4 October 2013. I deliberately used little text, because I was trying to a) tell stories and b) engaging the audience with my 99 luftballon idea (the presentation should soon be available in video format)
I was basically arguing for the followings:
- Europe still got wilderness
- 1 million hectares of the most precious wilderness areas are included in the PAN Parks' European Wilderness Preservation System
- we simply need more wilderness than the current 1%
and finally I called the audience to join us to fight for 5% wilderness cover in Europe

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.

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

29. PAN Parks works to protect Europe’s
wilderness, the continent’s most
undisturbed areas of nature
www.panparks.org
Editor's Notes
Taking picture of people raising hands There are three elements of my presentation: what is PAN Parks? What is our concept of combining wilderness and tourism? Introduction into our tourism model and explaining experiences Before starting ask personal introduction or at least which countries the participants are coming from Expectations maybe from 2-3 people
We need more partners to not see this tombstone in reality
I hope that after the film I don’t have to convince you that wilderness does exist in Europe
There are many other organisations working on wilderness, but they are mainly concentrating to one single country.
In order to mobilise or use sustainable tourism as a tool we need to work with large areas where tourism cannot cause damage
There are not too many areas, but we are going to get 2 more in this year (Kure Mountains and Dzukija) and there are more potential PAN Parks There are a few countries where having PAN Parks wilderness is not possible, but there is wilderness The Million Target

Local tourism partners are not that much different in more and less developed countries. They struggle very similar problems and need very similar trainings.
