Webinar: Future Buildings (Arts Council England programme 2015/16) Julie's Bicycle
What does a sustainable building look like? How do you integrate environmental sustainability into building projects and applications for capital investment?
Julie’s Bicycle’s Fit for the Future Toolkit and webinar is designed to support organisations to overcome these hurdles and achieve significant environmental improvements in capital projects. It details how – through intelligent design, materials, energy efficiency, water management and ecological enhancement – arts organisations are beginning to realise the benefits of environmental action, from financial resilience to reputational benefits and audience development.
The webinar was organised on 18 January 2017 by the team of Youth and Environment Europe within the project "Sustainability in NGOs". The aim of the webinar was to share experience among environmental youth organisations on how to follow environmental principles in their work
Re engagement of vulnerable adults with Europe - PublicationPia Antonaci
This project was created in July 2012, during a seminar organised by Ecorys, the UK LLP agency, named Back to Learning Back to Work. The aim of this seminar was, among others, to show how various European organisations work with 'harder reach adults' and act in order to bring them back to learning and/or working. The organisations met during the seminar and discovered they had various fields of expertise, with issues they share, some they don't. Regarding the issues they don't share, some answers developed by some partners could be used by others. For the issues they have in common, an exchange of practice was an opportunity to foster innovation and development new ideas.
The project "Re-engage" was created by a group of 7 partners and has been developed through the learners' mobility, through studies, analysis and adult education. Each partner organised a three-day visit dedicated to one of the topics with the following format:
1: Presentation by the host organisation of a model related to a specific topic (see list in section F1) organised as a workshop, seminar or visit, etc... according to the choice of the host partner. The workshop looked at:
• Situation
• Practice
• Tools
• Partners
• Testimony/Case Studies.
2: Analysis and study:
Partners looked into more details at the issues discussed during phase 1. They examined and analysed the experience shared by the host with the aim of identifying the strongest competencies, or the expertise of the host in his topic.
3: Result production:
This phase was dedicated to a common work of the partners and to a choice of best practices: in the second part of the day the learners have integrated the best practices in a handbook.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

• TITLE: Recycle by Marbling
• WHO: Malatya Province Directorate of National Education
Deputy Manager of Province Diretorate of National Education in charge of Non –
Formal Education : Mahmut BERK
• PURPOSE: Our natural resources are decreasing day by day because of the
increase of world population and consumption patterns change. Therefore, we
have to use our natural resources in a productive way by reducing material
consumption and waste recycling of recycleable materials.
• WHEN: 2014
• WHERE: Malatya / TURKEY
• WHAT: Marbling is the art of creating colorful patterns by sprinkling and brushing
color pigments on a pan of oily water and then transforming this pattern to paper.
The special tools of the trade are brushes of horsehair bound to straight rose
twigs, a deep tray made of unknotted pinewood, natural earth pigments, cattle gall
and tragacanth. It is believed to be invented in the thirteenth century Turkistan.
This decorative art then spread to China, India and Persia and Anatolia.
New forms and techniques were perfected in the process and Turkey remained the
center of marbling for many centuries. Up until the 1920's, marblers had
workshops in the Beyazit district of Istanbul, creating for both the local and
European market, where it is known as Turkish marble paper.
30. TURCHIA
OUTCOME:
Marbling teaches how to be patient and improves patience.
* Not having whole control on marbling teaches ‘accepting’ especially for
those who have obsessions.
* Marbling makes people relax and provide sipiritual richness.
* The one who is marbling can express what he/she feels by colour and design,
and gains a point of view about himself/herself.
* When the person concentrates on the water and movements of the water,
loses frustration and doesn’t realize how time goes by.
* It is impossible to have negative feelings while marblings because it is not
fixed. There is action, colors and figures on water always change.
* Playing games is a human need. Marbling gives the chance to play with
water and colors for those who has almost forgotten about his/her chilldhood.
* It is not important to produce an artistic ebru, but to feel relaxed by staying
away from stres and anxiety through feeling indulgent in his mind, feelings and
body.
* Producing and seeing that your product is appreciated makes oneself feel
more confident.
