Full Text Sharing
Submitted by Simone Galimberti 05Feb
Ongoing discussions to amend the Education Act by turning any future private learning education into a cooperative are missing an opportunity to think about a role that private schools could have in the so called "social economy" where profits are not turned away but fairly redistributed among the shareholders and generate a social impact at community level.

Wisdom Wednesday: Martin Punaks,Why orphanage volunteering is not a good idea after all

Video Sharing
Submitted by Simone Galimberti 03Feb

Martin Punaks, Country Director of Next Generation Nepal and convener of the “Wisdom Wednesday” initiative on international volunteerism in children homes or orphanages offers a picture of the current situation of children living in children homes in Nepal. Evidence shows that there are more harms than benefits in having an experience as an international volunteer in an orphanage home. Of course no doubts that there are excellent children homes run by real social workers but there are many cases of fraudsters who set up children homes as a business and this should not be allowed.

The so called politics of fear are a real threat to the world. In an era of different and interlinked crisis, from the terrorism to the flow of migrants to Europe, to the crackdown to freedom in Egypt and in many other authoritarian countries, the way liberal democracies will respond to the increasing events will shape the way humanity will advance or backtrack on the progress made so far
