Auroville Green Practices impact assessment reportMartin Scherfler
A Long-term effect of Auroville Green Practices Summer School
on participants’ professional and personal lives.
The AGP summer school program is an initiative using Auroville and its outstanding experience in human unity and sustainable living as a platform for the learning and personal growth of students from around the world. The program is based on a 3H approach that nurtures Hands (skills), Head (competences) and Heart (inner capacities) of all participants. The summer schools are held on an annual basis with a three week duration. Students learn in an experiential and cross-disciplinary educational environment to connect theory and hands-on application with core human values such as justice, dignity and unity.
This presentation was presented to students at University of Texas - Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. I talk about internships and networking opportunities available to Computer Science undergraduates, with an emphasis on programs for women and minorities.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.
