B8 Cross-cultural and comparative victimologyVSE 2016
(Eva Mulder & Antony Pemberton, Intervict. Also representatives from APAV and LINC will participate in this workshop)
To what extent do cultural differences and diverse historical trajectories lead to different understandings, valuation and experiences of victimisation and the reaction to victimisation? This is the topic of a second workshop. It presents and discusses key findings from project IVOR (Implementing Victim-Oriented Reform of the Criminal Justice System in the European Union) which sought to ascertain the progress made in the development of the position of victims of crime across Europe. This project was led by APAV, in cooperation with INTERVICT, the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) and VSE.
IVOR concerned three interrelated work-streams. The state of the art concerning the transposal of the EU-directive into legislation and practice, a review of the current empirical evidence base of the provisions of the Directive across Europe and an analysis of the different context in EU member states. The highlights of each of the results of the work-streams will be presented.
Subsequently we will invite participants to reflect with us, how given the diverse contexts in EU member states, and the relative lack of empirical research across large parts of the EU, we could best go about improving the position of victims, to achieve the Directive’s goal of minimum standards across the European Union. Can we advance on the current one-size-fits-all approach still underlying the EU’s efforts, and if so how?
The Bridging Nations Foundation will host a one-day conference to address challenges faced by higher education systems on a global level. Discussions will focus on emerging solutions for bridging the gap between higher education curricula and emerging demand within the contemporary job market. Conference topics examine ways innovative changes in the higher education sector will combat disparity, lack of access, and unemployment and contribute to a greater shared global prosperity. The conference will also cover topics including policy and legislation, MOOCs, emerging career trends, innovations in higher learning and education, and the impact of technology over the course of four panel discussions and two keynote presentations.

Develop a logic model for the formative evaluation of a new program that you want to develop at your agency. As you analyze your program, begin by describing basic assumptions and then add the following program components. Your narrative section will focus on your analysis of the problematic condition which demands intervention, and underlying assumptions about the sequences (if... then relationship). A typical logic model template would have the following components
1. Resources/Inputs include the human, financial, organizational, and community resources a program has available to direct toward the work. Sometimes this component is referred to as
2. Activities are what the program does with the resources. Activities are the processes, tools, events, technology, and actions that are an intentional part of the program implementation. These interventions are used to bring about the intended program changes or results.
3. Outputs are the direct products of program activities and may include types, levels and targets of services to be delivered by the program.
4. Outcomes (Intermediate) are the specific changes in program participants’ behavior, knowledge, skills, status and level of functioning.
5. Impact/Long-term Outcome is the fundamental intended or unintended change occurring in organizations, communities or systems as a result of program activities.

A Learner-Centred Approach for Lifelong Learning Powered by the Blockchain
Alexander Mikroyannidis, John Domingue, Michelle Bachler, Kevin Quick Knowledge Media Institute,
Abstract: The emergence of Blockchain technology promises to revolutionise not only the financial world, but also lifelong learning in many different ways. Blockchain technology offers opportunities to thoroughly rethink how we find educational content and training services online, how we register and pay for them, as well as how we get accredited for what we have learned and how this accreditation affects our career trajectory. This paper explores the different aspects of lifelong learning that are affected by this new paradigm and describes an ecosystem that places the learner at the centre of the learning process and its associated data. More specifically, we outline the ways that ePortfolios, accreditation and tutoring can evolve within this learner-centred ecosystem and we discuss the various benefits that this evolution bears for lifelong learners.

Fiinovation webinar on Social Enterprises through Affirmative Action Fiinovation
The only way to create a world with no need for affirmative action i.e no human disparity, is possible via adoption of practices which are affirmed and unbiased for all.
Gauging the potential that the sector holds, Fiinovation and CII have come together for a webinar, second in the series, on Social Enterprises and Affirmative Action. It aims to highlight how social enterprises can bring in the much needed social impact, leading to effective participation in decision making while realising their civil, cultural, economical and social rights in all arenas of life on the basis of non-discrimination.
Fiinovation webinar on Promotion of Livelihood through Affirmative Action & C...Fiinovation
Based on the fact that majority of the people below the poverty line belong to the backward communities, it is important to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for them through development initiatives. As these communities remain vulnerable due to lack of opportunities, skills, education, finance etc, they keep entangling themselves in the viscous circle of poverty. Livelihood generation for these communities remain a cause of concern with widespread discrimination, climate change, no social security and other such constraints. Therefore, the alignment between the affirmative action, CSR and livelihood is crucial to not only target the right beneficiaries but also eradication of poverty.
If the SC/ST communities are provided with adequate skill, infrastructure, resources and finance, it will help India achieve the set national goals of skill development, inclusive growth and higher GDP. Keeping in mind the role of corporations in generation of employment opportunities for the communities, the webinar will focus on the need to promote livelihood initiatives through affirmative action and CSR. The webinar will also highlight the benefits of inclusive development and how corporations can lead the change.
Webinar Objectives:
Understanding the alignment between CSR and Affirmative Action
Exploring Livelihood Opportunities for SC/ST youth
Highlighting the role of corporations in CSR and Affirmative Action
Understanding how Livelihood initiatives can be linked to CSR and Affirmative Action
Key Takeaways:
Insights of the Livelihood Sector
Knowledge on CSR in India
Understanding methods to maximise CSR impact
Target Audience:
CEO's, COO's, Heads of PSU's, Heads of Organisations, HR Heads, CSR Heads, Heads of Educational Institutions, NGOs

Fiinovation Webinar on Poverty, Climate Change & Affirmative ActionFiinovation
Eradication of poverty has been the major focus of the UN member countries from past three decades. Despite significant efforts, a large segment of the world population still lives below the UN poverty line of $1.25 per day. One major threat to the efforts of poverty eradication is the growing concerns of global warming. Already the consequences of climate change can be seen with unpredictable weather changes, insufficient rains, severe droughts and the fast melting galciers. India is probably facing the worst water crisis in its history after two successive years of less monsoons. Marathawada in Maharashtra, North Karnataka and parts of Telangana are living at the mercy of the state and central government with no water left to drink or irrigate. Dams in Marathwada has only 3% water left in them. This water crisis is affecting not only the people and economy but also livestock and cattle which are valuable assets for the poor farmers. Understanding the gravity of the situation it can be said that India needs to focus not only on mitigating risks of climate change but also ensure development of opportunities to reduce vulnerability of the poor.

However, these festivals have a deep impact on our environment. Some of the practices like burning firecrackers, immersing offerings in the river etc create much pollution. Initially traditional festivals were about cleaning our homes and enhancing the natural beauty around us. With time these festivals have become highly unsustainable in nature.

Fiinovation Forging Partnerships Between Corporations and CSOsFiinovation
The corporations including SMEs have today realized the necessity of developing the society in which it operates, besides generating profit. This has increased their involvement in lending funds for improvement of the community at large. However, their good deeds face bottlenecks due to lack of expertise in monitoring, implementation and evaluation of utilization of funds, which are crucial in assessing whether any real change is being brought on ground. Similarly , the CSOs or the organizations working for societal development on ground are unable to implement the projects, and thus, are forced to discontinue their operations.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. World Bank Core Course on Safety Nets – December 2 - 13, 2013
World Bank Headquarters - Washington DC - USA
Objectives
This two-week "core course" is offered by the World Bank’s Social Protection practice for more than 10
years. It aims to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the conceptual and practical
issues involved in the development of social protection systems and their foundation – social
assistance or safety net programs. Safety nets are non-contributory transfers provided to people
vulnerable to or living in poverty. Transfers can be provided by governments in cash, vouchers or in-
kind; they can be universal or targeted, and designed in the context of conditional or unconditional
programs. Safety nets are only one of the components of broader social protection systems, which also
include insurance-related interventions (e.g. health insurance and pensions) and a range of labor-
oriented programs. Such systems protect poor and vulnerable population groups from risk of
destitution, link them to essential social services and help them escape poverty.
Over the last decade the interest and activity in social safety nets has experienced a paradigm shift.
Globally, there is strong political commitment for safety nets as powerful instrument for achieving
development goals. The role of social safety nets has been magnified during the recent food, fuel and
financial crises. And there is every reason to believe that that role will remain significant going forward.
A growing number of countries are introducing and expanding safety net programs. Globally, safety
nets are currently available in 131 developing and emerging countries, up from just 72 in 2000. In
addition, some 33 countries are experimenting with innovative pilot initiatives.
The course builds on the latest developments in safety nets as integral part of social protection
systems. The presented material reflects the most recent policy developments, delivery innovations and
research findings by the World Bank and other institutions. It will cover recent practical experience in
safety net delivery worldwide - from advanced to middle to low income, to fragile states.
Participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss challenging issues concerning social
safety net in their own country, and work toward solutions with other participants and experts.
Course Description
The course draws from worldwide data, analysis and knowledge, including as distilled and summarized
for practitioners in the World Bank’s flagship publications (“For Protection and Promotion: the Design
and Implementation of Effective Social Safety Nets”, “Conditional Cash Transfers: Reducing Present
and Future Poverty”, “Rethinking School Feeding: Social Safety Nets, Child Development and the
Education Sector”). The course also draws on recent global initiatives, especially Social Protection
Assessment of Results and Country Systems (SPARCS) and Atlas of Social Protection: Indicators of
Resilience and Equity (ASPIRE). It also uses materials and insights from global learning events
(“Making Public Works Work: The Design and Implementation of Public Works Programs”, “Social
Protection & Labor South-South Learning Forum 2012: The Role of Labor and Social Assistance”).
The course adopts a mix of learning methods, including presentations, round table discussions,
simulation games, hands-on computer assisted exercises and group work. It is taught by experts from
the World Bank, top research institutions and representatives of other agencies. This course comprises
four interrelated and complementary topics: (1) the role of social safety nets in social protection system,
and assessment of their performance; (2) overview of the main social assistance programs and

instruments; (3) experience with implementation systems for effective delivery; and (4) how these vary
across countries including by economic conditions, political economy, administrative and
implementation capacity.
This year's course has a number of innovative features which distinguish it from previous offerings.
First and foremost, it contains a module on how to use safety nets to strengthen social protection
systems through better policy harmonization and reduced fragmentation across projects and delivery
instruments. It will also discuss in depth country cases with rapid transformation of safety nets and
social policies. It contains in-depth coverage of implementation (including beneficiary registration,
payment systems and management information systems) and policy analysis (including performance
assessment, design of integrated safety net systems, new developments in activation and graduation
programs for beneficiaries).
As a sampling, the course will consider:
• Overview of recent global initiatives in the area of social protection and safety nets.
• The role of social safety nets in the architecture of social protection systems .
• Issues of building productive safety nets and promotion of beneficiaries.
• Implementing and reforming safety nets to better support poverty eradication and shared
prosperity.
• The tools and methods used to undertake solid diagnoses of the need for safety nets, and
determine their size, the specific instruments and program mix, and identification of beneficiaries.
• How safety nets can enhance food security and help build more resilient livelihoods; and how to
adapt them to disaster response situations.
• The role played by safety nets during the recent crises and what worked and what did not.
• How much to spend, finding the fiscal space and managing the challenges that arise when multiple
levels of government are involved in the finance and/or delivery of safety net programs.
• Designing and implementing cost effective and efficient targeting systems, including setting benefit
levels and establishing the necessary support services.
• How to set-up an effective monitoring system and control for fraud, error and corruption.
• Tools and methods for evaluating social programs.
• Political demands on social safety nets and ways to address political economy challenges.
• How and when should gender considerations be incorporated?
