Youth and inclusive citizen workshop, play for peace, indiaPRIA (Society for Participatory Research In Asia)
Country specific presentation at the Youth and Inclusive Citizen Workshop organized by PRIA and ASPBAE from 8-10th September 2014Adult literacy
This document discusses adult literacy, including defining it, causes, impacts, and potential solutions. It defines adult literacy as the ability to read, write, and solve problems at a level to function in society and achieve goals. Low adult literacy can negatively impact education levels, income, health, and intergenerational cycles. Potential causes include low parental education, learning disabilities, and poverty. Solutions require efforts from individuals, communities, and governments, including programs, tutors, and developing literacy skills that empower adults and societies.
Digital Learners and The 21st Century Teachers
This document discusses the qualities and skills of a 21st century teacher. It argues that teachers must be adaptable to changing technologies and student needs, take risks in their teaching methods, collaborate with other educators and students, continuously learn and stay up-to-date, communicate fluently through various technologies, model lifelong learning behaviors, and provide leadership to students. The 21st century teacher envisions new possibilities with emerging tools, involves students in the learning process, and prepares them to be lifelong learners.
A relational approach to intergenerational learning
Dr. Barbara Baschiera proposes an intergenerational learning environment using blogs where teenagers and elderly people can be co-managers of communication and learning. The goals are to facilitate lifelong learning for seniors, reduce the digital divide, improve youth civic engagement, and strengthen relationships across ages through sharing life stories and knowledge. Participants would blog weekly for two years at schools and senior centers. Effectiveness would be evaluated through quantitative and qualitative analysis of relationships formed, pre/post tests of participants, and evidence from blog posts, photos, and questionnaires. Potential outcomes include increased social participation of seniors, improved youth civic roles, and strengthened intergenerational relationships.
Contemporary India and Education- Social Mobility
Dr. Priti Sonar has over 14 years of teaching experience and 7 years of administrative experience. She has an M.A., M.Com, M.Ed., NET (Education), NET (Commerce), DSM, CCG, CCVE, and is pursuing an MBA. She was formerly a Board of Studies member at SNDT Women's University. Education is a primary factor in social mobility, as it provides skills for jobs and competition. Higher education correlates with higher incomes and more prestigious occupations. While gender, social changes, and dissatisfaction with prior conditions can also influence mobility, education remains the most accessible path for mobility in most societies.

Edr 613 family literacy powerpoint
This document discusses family literacy education and its potential benefits and limitations. It explores different models of family literacy programs, including the compensatory model, the one child-one mother model, and the lack of adequate adult and interactive literacy practices. It notes pros and cons of each approach. A key concern discussed is the instability of funding for family literacy education and how this undermines its viability. The document also notes that the voices of family literacy program participants themselves have been largely absent from discussions about program development and evaluation.
Gen z and challenges
Generation Z faces stiff competition entering the workforce during the ongoing recovery from the Great Recession that could take over a decade to overcome. They will likely find jobs in healthcare, IT, leisure and hospitality, but higher education is increasingly necessary and saddles many with debt. As the first "always connected" generation, technology and social media are integral to Generation Z's lifestyle, but this connectivity can enable sedentary habits and obesity while civic engagement may decline. Solutions are needed to empower this generation.

Globalization,Urbanization,Privatization
Globalization and urbanization have both positively and negatively impacted education. Globalization has increased international educational opportunities but also led to cultural imperialism and brain drain. Urbanization concentrates resources but also increases competition and dependence on technology. Privatization relieves government resources but risks profit-motives lowering education quality if not properly regulated.

Adversities that Disrupt Positive Development among Emerging Adult Students i...
Higher education is universally applauded as a means to empower young people with skills, knowledge, experiences and significant relationships which can enable them to play their roles successfully as leaders of tomorrow. Psychologically, one group of persons who are overwhelmingly concerned in the quest for further knowledge are emerging adults. Emerging adulthood is now a globally recognised period of human development as transition to adulthood is delayed based on issues such as young people getting married late, continuous efforts to acquire higher credentials so as to be better equipped for the labour market. As they transition from home to the university and to the world of work more so in the third decade of life, many challenges often stand on their way with the capacity of preventing them from progressing successfully and transitioning productively into adulthood. Notably academic palavers, financial hurdles, sudden independence and freedom from parental control, identity issues as well as socio political tensions commonly seen in developing societies like Cameroon abound. The foregoing constitutes a barrier that makes university studies unbearable to some emerging adults in universities. Developmental literature on this phase of life equally depicts a hopeless situation for young adults. Also, media reports, observations and stories or experiences from some parents and families as well as the society at large reveals increase fears and anxiety on the state and future of university students as leaders of tomorrow. With these, the prospects for positive development in later life stages like adulthood are slim with huge possibilities of floundering and discontinuity for some of them. This paper highlights some of the key issues that university students in Cameroon battle with as well as the environmental socio political trivialities that worsen the scenario. Delbert Akom Afumbom "Adversities that Disrupt Positive Development among Emerging Adult Students in Universities in Cameroon A conceptual review" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-1 , December 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd29545.pdfPaper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/psychology/29545/adversities-that-disrupt-positive-development-among-emerging-adult-students-in-universities-in-cameroon-a-conceptual-review/delbert-akom-afumbom
Youth intergenerational-partnerships
Intergenerational relationships centered on sharing knowledge, traditions, and support are being challenged by socio-economic trends and demographic changes. As populations age and life expectancy increases, older generations will rely on younger ones for longer, while rising unemployment disproportionately affects youth who may depend on parents or grandparents. Current social protection systems could be at risk. The UN recognizes the importance of intergenerational solidarity and has taken steps like adopting recommendations for youth-elder partnerships and cooperation to address these challenges.
Frontier College Presents Critical Crossroads
This document discusses literacy programming for youth in conflict with the law. It notes that reading skills are important for success, but that these youth often have low literacy levels which can contribute to criminal behavior. Effective literacy programs can help reduce recidivism by improving education, employment opportunities, and social integration. However, there are challenges to providing such programs, including disruptions to learning, inadequate resources, and lack of community support. The document promotes a holistic, individualized approach incorporating employment training, cooperation across agencies, screening and tailored interventions, and short-term intensive programs to help youth develop skills and prevent reoffending.
Why Literacy is Important
Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write as well as having knowledge and competence in a subject. Literacy provides many benefits such as economic growth, reduced poverty and crime, and empowerment. Without literacy, people have difficulty participating in society and understanding others, and countries have problems with their workforce and economy. Social entrepreneurs like John Wood and Greg Mortenson have sacrificed their time and energy to help promote literacy for less fortunate people through building schools. Individuals can help promote literacy by donating books, supporting literacy organizations, and volunteering to teach others.
Literacy & education
This document discusses global and local literacy issues and potential solutions. Over 793 million adults worldwide are illiterate, costing the global economy over $1 trillion annually. In the US, 32 million adults have low literacy skills, and 63% of prison inmates score at the lowest literacy levels. Locally in Long Beach, 1 in 3 adults have below basic literacy. Several programs aim to address these issues by providing books, education, and job skills training around the world and in local communities. Rotary clubs internationally and in Long Beach donate books and support family literacy programs to help solve literacy challenges.
Youth transitions - S/. Petkovic EYC budapest seminar september 2014
This document discusses youth transitions from education to employment and independence. It notes that transitions are now more complex, unpredictable and prolonged. Young people face higher risks of unemployment, casual work, and delays in career progression. Policy needs to support young people's agency while addressing these challenges.

Eds200 future of_education
This document discusses the future of education from 2020 to 3000. It outlines several key aspects of education that may change including the goal of education, the role of teachers, the learning environment, and the relationship between learning and society. The goal of education may shift from knowledge transmission to developing skills for a changing society and knowledge-based learning. Teachers may take on more facilitator roles in student-centered learning environments compared to traditional classrooms. Learning environments could increasingly incorporate new technologies and simulation-based education as society and the job market evolve in the coming decades.

However, digital divides remain, and cultural and linguistic differences also impact the effectiveness of e-learning.
Assess The Role Of Functionalism In Sociology Of Education
Functionalism sees education as consisting of interrelated parts that work together to maintain society. Functionalists view education as socializing children to learn core values like secondary socialization, which teaches them to interact with peers they may not be close with. This prepares them for functioning within the wider society, where the same principles apply to all people rather than just within their family. Functionalists like Durkheim also saw schools as teaching children roles necessary for future jobs, and maintaining social order through enforcing rules.

Education is a lifelong process that begins at birth and continues throughout life. It typically starts with primary school which teaches basic skills, followed by secondary school which expands academic and social skills. Higher education prepares individuals for specific careers. Education also fosters personal development and teaches values like diversity and respect. However, barriers like poverty and lack of infrastructure can limit access to education for some. New technologies are transforming education delivery through online platforms that provide flexible, affordable, lifelong learning opportunities. Ensuring universal access to education allows everyone to realize their full potential and contribute to society.

Keynote for Newman University 08.09.2021
In this talk, Debbie will explore the cacophony of voices communicating through different channels and telling us how we ‘should’ prepare for our teaching. Which ones should we listen to? In metadata analysis, the ‘outlier’ was traditionally excluded from the analysis – however, recent evidence points to the outliers pointing the way for new trends. Participants are warmly invited to consider the voices they are hearing and map them in any format; you are warmly welcomed to add your thoughts on which are the ‘loudest’ voices onto the padlet, and post conference, if there is interest, we can co-author a blog post for the National Teaching Fellow blog.
Educational Leadership Philosophy Statement
The document outlines the author's educational leadership philosophy. It discusses how they initially wanted to be a teacher to make a difference, but felt a need for more education. They explored new areas in education and realized they still wanted to work with students in classrooms. They aspire to guide teachers and see educational leadership as a way to still be involved in classrooms through helping teachers, coaching students, and planning curriculum. A master's in educational leadership will provide a fresh perspective.
Welcome to the Neighborhood
This document discusses developing inspired learning environments for community college students. It notes that community college student populations and needs have changed over time. Demographic shifts include a majority of minority and female students. Effective learning environments require cultural competence, developing students' social capital, and differentiated instruction. Cultural competence involves self-examination to understand how one's identity impacts interactions. Developing social capital facilitates student integration and success. Differentiated instruction addresses diverse cognitive and affective needs through flexible content, processes, and assessments.
Outsiders looking in or insiders looking out
This document discusses challenges for educators in negotiating shared learning spaces between outsiders and insiders in education. It notes that students today have different experiences than in the past, with many remaining at home rather than living on campus. It also discusses the role of digital technologies in students' lives and expectations for higher education. While students are highly engaged with technologies socially, their experience of technologies in K-12 is usually limited to content delivery rather than active learning. This can pose challenges as higher education requires more independent learning and online engagement. The document advocates finding ways to motivate and engage students through creative uses of technology that enhance teaching rather than replace it.

This document summarizes Valerie Hannon's keynote speech about building student engagement and educational community. Some key points:
1) Student disengagement is a widespread problem that is linked to poorer life outcomes and is more prevalent among disadvantaged students.
2) True engagement is in learning, not just compliance in school. Schools should focus on making learning identity-driven, social, deep and meaningful.
3) An education today must equip students to deal with major challenges facing the planet. Some schools are trying innovative approaches to boost autonomy, mastery and purpose in learning.
4) One example is the Harris Federation in London, which empowered students to research engaged learning worldwide and propose recommendations the schools would

An approach to improving education both nationally and internationally
This document discusses education for all and the role of technology and teacher competencies. It addresses goals of expanding early childhood education and providing free primary education. Ensuring quality education for all requires improving learning environments, resources, and addressing teacher shortages.

- 2. WELCOME We are delighted to introduce you to talkUBUNTU, the first South African social media platform and program for study- and career development. talkUBUNTU helps students to make informed and motivated choices about their future. Did you know that almost half all of students in South African universities and colleges drop out or switch courses before completion of their studies? Studies show similar figures for virtually all countries around the world, with hardly a noticeable difference between countries from the developed or developing world. Close to fifty percent of all students, and in particular high school scholars around the world, tell the same story; they choose the wrong studies, courses and subjects, which result in a staggeringly high drop-out and switching rate. Did you know that this drop-out and switching rate costs society billions of Rand’s, not to mention the cost of personal disappointment, discouragement and personal suffering? A study in The Netherlands, with a population of a mere 17 million people, show an annual loss of close to Fifty Billion Rand resulting from wrong study- and career choices, an inevitable precursor to early drop- out and high switching rates! No similar studies have been undertaken in South Africa, however statistics relative to the Dutch experience can reasonably be assumed. The simple truth is that South African students, not unlike their international peers, are the victims of either poor or hardly sufficient personal-, study- and career orientation and coaching. talkUBUNTU puts the student’s study- and career plans at the center of education. talkUBUNTU empowers, stimulates and motivates the student to explore his/her own identity (who am I, what are my skills, what are my future ambitions) and to work towards a motivated career identity. Join us!
- 4. As young people move towards adulthood, they face a range of challenges which require them to make difficult life and learning choices. They need help to understand their options and to make informed decisions, especially as we increase the range of options available to young people. A career identity is a structure of meanings in which the individual links his own motiviation, interests and competencies with acceptable career roles. Our role is to help the student towards finding and understanding his or her own set of talents and abilities and to match those with realistic future ideals. WHO AM I? WHAT ARE MY TALENTS AND SKILLS? WHAT ARE MY FUTURE IDEALS? DISCOVER THE WORLD.
- 6. The development of a career identity takes place in the context of society, hence talkUBUNTU, a learning village where education and labour meets. The learning environment is a place for exploration. Students embark on an exciting journey towards self-discovery and an exploration of the real world. The gap between learning and working is erased.
- 7. Social media learning platform with an integrated digital learning environment uniquely designed for study- and career orientation Connecting the classroom to the workplace; allowing the free-flow of all career-oriented knowledge between parties Connecting the classroom to tertiary education and training organizations for closer collaboration. Connecting students to mentors as well as co-learners from different learning organisations for peer to peer education in a world without borders. Facilitating programs and formats for high schools to enable effective study- and career orientation “Bringing the world into the classroom” to facilitate contextual learning.
- 8. The talkUBUNTU system (platform, educational tools and program's) empowers young learners to explore beyond the boundaries of the classroom and across national borders. It allows students, parents, teachers and mentors to share, exchange and gain information and knowledge relating to career-and-life-orientation, without any limitations.
- 9. THE WORKPLACE Career Professionals SOCIETY Social Cultural PARENTS Caretakers PEERS
- 10. An important part of study- and career development is to empower young people to play an active role in society. Young people are powerful agents of change and have a lot of responsibility in fostering understanding and peace through creating awareness. talkUBUNTU encourages social participation and awareness by inviting relevant and credible social and developmental organisations to the classroom. talkUBUNTU promotes mutual understanding across racial, cultural, religious, political and geographical divides by linking social, cultural and developmental organisations to the classroom.
- 11. Our learning environment not only brings the world into the classroom, but connects schools throughout the African continent and the rest of the world for collaboration.
