Up Helly Aa refers to winter fire festivals held in Shetland, Scotland annually in mid-winter marking the end of the yule season. The Lerwick celebration involves up to 1000 costumed participants marching in squads through town, growing out of older traditions of dragging burning tar barrels. Over time, the celebrations became more elaborate, with Viking themes being introduced in the late 1800s including burning a longship replica. While originally a young working class male event, Up Helly Aa is now larger and more organized while maintaining connections to its origins over 150 years ago.

Anzac day
ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national commemorative occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as Anzacs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.
When war broke out in 1914, Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only 13 years. The new national government was eager to establish its reputation among the nations of the world.
In 1915 Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in order to open the Dardanelles to the allied navies. The ultimate objective was to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, an ally of Germany.
The Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli on 25 April, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships.
Over 8,000 Australian soldiers had been killed. News of the landing on Gallipoli had made a profound impact on Australians at home, and 25 April soon became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in the war.
Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as the “Anzac legend” became an important part of the identity of both nations, shaping the ways they viewed both their past and their future.
The 25th of April was officially named Anzac Day in 1916. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. In London over 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets. A London newspaper headline dubbed them “the knights of Gallipoli”. Marches were held all
over Australia
Australians recognise 25 April as an occasion of national remembrance, which takes two forms. Commemorative services are held at dawn – the time of the original landing – across the nation.
Later in the day, ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many smaller centres. Commemorative ceremonies are more formal and are held at war memorials around the country. In these ways, Anzac Day is a time when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war.
The Dawn Service observed on Anzac Day has its origins in a military routine which is still followed by the Australian Army today. During battle, the half-light of dawn was on

Mary Queen of Scots acceded to the Scottish throne as an infant, but spent most of her childhood in France. When she returned to Scotland as a widow, she found that the country had become officially Protestant during her absence. As a Catholic, Mary struggled to gain acceptance from the Protestant Scottish Kirk. Her marriages to her cousin Lord Darnley and then to the Earl of Bothwell, who was suspected of murdering Darnley, further weakened her position. Mary was eventually imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I of England and held captive for 19 years, until she was executed on charges of plotting against Elizabeth.

It marks the anniversary of when they landed on the beach at Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. The red poppy later became a symbol of remembrance, with people wearing them to honor those who died. When the ANZACs landed, they were taken to the wrong place and faced ready Turkish forces, resulting in many soldiers not making it off the boats. In total, over 87,000 Turkish men, 44,000 British and French, 8,500 Australians, and 2,721 New Zealanders lost their lives in the war.
Middle passage (2) upload edit
The document describes the horrific conditions slaves endured during the Middle Passage while being transported from Africa to America. It discusses how slaves were packed into ships in extremely cramped conditions, often chained together in the cargo hold with little room to move. They suffered immensely from disease, lack of hygiene and poor treatment, with many dying during the grueling multi-week journey. An account from a slave named Olaudah Equiano provides vivid details of the misery experienced, including the extreme heat, unpleasant smells, floggings, torture, and deaths that occurred regularly during the transatlantic crossing.
Carnival
The document discusses the Carnival festival held in Tarragona, Spain in February. It describes how the Carnival parade features people in masks, costumes and floats. On Saturday, all the groups participate in the parade and on Sunday the top fifteen groups from the previous year perform. The authors talk about attending the Carnival, with one dressed as a pirate and the other as Minnie Mouse, and their favorite group being the unicorn troupe because of a girl skating and another with moving unicorn wings.
Waiheke island’s 2013 headland sculptures
The Headland Sculpture Walk is a biennial outdoor art exhibition held on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. In 2013, thirty large sculptures by established and emerging artists were selected from over 100 submissions and exhibited along 2.5 kilometers of coastal walkway, providing views of the island and Hauraki Gulf. The sculptures were on display in January and February. More information about this major art event for Waiheke Island and Auckland can be found by visiting the provided website, which also features photos of the winning artworks.
Oak Hammock
The document outlines events planned by students for residents of Oak Hammock, a retirement community. It describes Active Aging Week, a talent show, Halloween social, trips to bakeries and wineries, and a winter social. Challenges included poor advertising, mobility issues, and logistical problems. Lessons learned were around proper planning, documentation, and addressing senior needs. The overall goal was providing engaging activities while gaining experience in serving an aging population.
Halloween for ESO
Halloween originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals and traditions surrounding death. On October 31st, the Celtic New Year, the boundary between the living and dead was thought to be lifted. People wore costumes and lit jack-o-lanterns to ward off ghosts. Over time, Christian influences led to it being associated with All Saints' Day on November 1st. Traditions spread from Ireland and Scotland to North America in the 18th/19th centuries. Today, Halloween is a popular commercial holiday focused on costumes, trick-or-treating, and festive decorations. However, some traditions like fortune-telling and mischief-making can cause problems if not done respectfully.
Carnival customs
This document contains information about carnival celebrations in several countries:
- In Germany, carnival is celebrated especially in the Rhineland and cities like Cologne and Mainz. It involves costumes, parades, and humor.
- In Greece, Patras hosts one of the largest carnivals with parades, costumes, floats, and fireworks. School groups participate in treasure hunt games.
- Portugal, Poland, and some areas of Wales also celebrate with parades, balls, and floats with different themes.
- When partners visited the Greek school during carnival time, they participated in treasure hunt games to experience the celebration.

Halloween presentation for ESO + comprehension questions
Halloween has its origins in ancient Celtic harvest festivals and traditions. On Samhain, the last day of summer according to the Celtic calendar, Druids would make sacrifices and predict the future by magic. The Celts believed ghosts of the dead returned on Samhain and would dress in costumes to frighten away spirits. Today, Halloween is celebrated in many Western cultures as a time when children dress in costumes and go trick-or-treating, asking for candy at doors while reciting rhymes. Major symbols of Halloween include carved pumpkins known as Jack-o'-lanterns, the colors orange and black, and the traditions of wearing costumes and going door-to-door for treats.

It's Halloween!!!
The document discusses the history and traditions of Halloween in the United States. It begins with the Celtic festival of Samhain, where the Celts believed the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. The festival was changed by the Catholic church to All Saints Day and eventually became Halloween. Irish immigrants brought Halloween traditions to America in the 1800s. Today, Americans celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes and going trick-or-treating, where children go door-to-door saying "trick or treat" to receive candy. Teenagers and adults attend Halloween parties. Halloween has become a popular holiday in the US, with over $6 billion spent annually on costumes, candy, and decorations.
The viking civilization
The document describes various raids and settlements of the Ancient Viking Raiders of the Middle Ages between 793 and 1050 AD. It notes their first raid in England in 793 AD and various other raids and settlements in locations like Seville, Spain, France, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and Norway over the following centuries. It also provides brief descriptions of typical Viking ships called longships and knarrs, as well as some notable Viking figures like Leif Eriksson and Eric the Red.

Future me! our week in ASturias. Spain
In May, students and teachers from Lithuania, Germany, and Finland visited Villaviciosa, Asturias as part of a European exchange program. During their visit, the group explored local sights like Villaviciosa estuary, Rodiles beach, and El Puntal. They had a welcome reception in the school theater and worked on creative presentations. The visitors also toured the town hall, visited Ribadesella and the Tito Bustillo cave, and had a guided tour of Oviedo. Social activities included a movie night, party, and farewell activities focused on Europe. Though sad to separate, reflecting on sharing culture and language made the experience feel magical.
Nightlife at Belle Vue
Dancing was a hugely popular form of entertainment at Belle Vue over the decades. Outdoor dancing platforms and indoor ballrooms were constructed from the early 1850s onwards to accommodate growing interest. Famous dances of the era like the Polka drew huge crowds. Music performances and dances continued to be held at expanding venues through the 1900s, with various styles like rock and roll becoming popular. However, a devastating fire in 1958 destroyed many of the ballrooms, though new ones like the Elizabethan Ballroom were soon constructed.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
