this week who's your family trying to connect with human race to end poverty

Could I introduce Naila and Anna into this conversation- both attended Tebabu's USADBC summit (anna from san diego, naila settled in our region 3 years ago after her prior life's work on women4empowerment out of Bangladesh)

 

Back in 1996 Naila was first lady to experiment with digital phone partnerships with poorest village mothers networks on project funded by George Soros - which most of the world know as GrameenPhone and as Muhammad Yunus' baby - though the truth over 20 years of who were the tech wizards and most human connectors is much more detailed (I imagine yazmi has also had its extraordinary moments getting so far too)

 

My primary reason for writing now is that anna and naila are pulling out all the stops to stage a west coast tedx in second fortnight of april 2015 -and key speakers and facilities of that need to be formed in next few weeks; anna's network had previously hosetd a 3000 youth tedx when clinton uni came to san diego, and we feel need to stage an open millennilas summit so we can all leverage connections with other youth summits on equal terms

 

how to include your leadership agendas as at april to maximise your goals and end poverty empowerment is something we'd love your feedback on - next live meeting on this is being chaired by anna and kiva and puddle in san francisco - nov 11; where continent-wide gamechangers are being discussed aligned to the launch of the greatest youth entrepreneur search ever staged by partners of us government launched last monday night (stefanos and I attended; naila was in the building working late on some of the open tech challenges)

 

at last weeks usaid hq meducation fair  - yazmi was well remembered from previous years and the representative of the 10 million dollar elearning xprize (HQ los angeles) said april tedx would also be an ideal date linking their collaboration process

 

Naila is a good friend of the lady who staged this world bank tedx on ending poverty http://www.tedxwbg.com/  2 weeks go linking jim kim's social movement passion with Dbanj the african pop star apple now employs as their ambassador for Beats headphones -the same team are responsible for all of the world bank's coursera partnerships- if you know anyone who wants to massively network end-ebola actions I can guide them how to start being impactful at this forum 

 

I hope there are win-win connections between all of your extraordinary work; my first job in 1972 was for uk national dev project in computer assisted learning from which the story of the net generation's entrepreneurial, revolution (the final stage of Keynsian's united human race to end poverty) became my father's life work at The Economist. At a remebrance party hosted by Japan Ambassador in Dhaka in 2012 - elearning became the main topic and sir fazle abed head of the world's largest ngo BRAC started asking how could his life's knowhow be channeled

 

if there's something relevant to communicate next I can fly over to Bangladesh to update sir fazle abed of BRAC- in July yazmi was the most exciting thing in open education he had ever heard about .. (but to be frank he isnt sure how to get 100000  grassroots co-workers and 12 million village women microentrepreneurs and their 1.5 million children in BRAC village schools to join in first, and while he's the most alert 80 year old I have ever met, his health is a bit patchy)

survey 1of child centric education

My dream: everyone experiences Harrison Owen OpenSpace After%20the%20Rage.pdf

IF SCHOOLS were child centric they would make age relevant interventions:

if anyone is illiterate at age 6 it only takes 90 days to change that - best of all a literate kid can be main helper in 20 minute session - see sunita gandhi

finacial literacy would be practicsed from age 8 - see aflatoun ( works in 100 countries

from age 10 pre-teens would have access to pfysical and mental health studies designed peer to peer -see Lancet

no kid would leave primary school without knowing how open space meetings/teamwork is facilitated

teachers would be celebrated for clarifying which skills involve experiential learning not classroom examination - while there is some recognition that music and sports involve practice, its shocking that coding isnt valued this way ..

==============

Do you have life-changing moment to share? - what was it and what did you think or do differently after it?

example until 9/11, i assumed that (good) futures are happening somewhere in the world and would be searched out so that all could communally replicate them;  === 9/11 caused me to question whether global connectivity will give us time to find sustainable solutions for our kids- i became particulaly interested in places where good education leaps appeared but did not get app'd the world over - one example actually goes back to my favorite 1990s advances in schools that a small cliuster of new zealand schools pioneered - download it here https://oiipdf.com/download/the-learning-revolution

i welcome discussion of this book's parts at any time rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you have a solution every community that develops youth could be cooperational

in 1984our book with economist editors 2025report made the case for 40 year commitment to every child identifying own skils dashboard and maximising AI curation of this- we valued this as sustainability critical worldwide cooperation - we see no logic for changing this concern

== we live in an age where most up to half of knowhow of techforgood changes every 3 years - we needed mindsets for exploration not for being standard examined; a nation that makes its college students its largest debt class is likely to collapse economically socially environmentally if web3 is designed for celebrating sustainability cooperation; and if web3 is not designed for neough yout to linkin the first sustainability generation then we are all heading the way of the dodo

TECH - What is IT? and which exponential multipliers most impact human and natural futures?

AI   >. silicon chip singularity (ie when one chip > one brain in pure analytical capacity) - science fictiion no moore

who programs the ai - the race to include lost voices eg girls- the world of statistics re=-examined like never before (eg previously mass statistics very weak at coding meaining from numbers)

Biotech  >> Affective science (loveq and emotional intelligence remains human's unique edge over artificials for at least 10 more years!)

Some people say that Virtual or Augmented Reality has advanced at its best so far in last 12 months that there are hardly any qualified teachers only pioneering explorers- does this matter - well its VR which is your gateway to web3 - intead of just a mobile device you will like wear  a visual sensor system; equally others argue that you shouldnt worry about how fast you put googles on - what you should want is to take back ownbership of what you spend time creating virually- look at the small print of the big platforms you probably dont own anything without them..maybe this is a generation issue bu interstingly the met-generation can now work on chnaging anything that old systems are destroying (eg climate) ...t 

 IOT which things will now have brains and be as mobile connected as you are

Crypto - can communities celebrate financiang their own most urgent sustainability cooperations? if they dont who wil?

Cyber >> Drone - opportunities and threats of public spaces- first in spaces like the arctic circle if we dont use drones we will get no warning before the big meltdown

-the mkist memorable western campus event i attended in 2010s was tufts colllaboratory summit convened mainly by arctic circle youth under 25; 

one of the main debates how to help teachers in arctic circle schools empower their students to use virtual reality to visit other arctic circles schools communities; many of the changes and solutions are analogous; I am reminded by educators leading the compilation of virtual realty libraries of the DICE acronym - a reen might want to do something dangerous like climb everest, why not VR simulate that? there are impossible things a trainee doctor will never be able to travel inside a humans gut but that can be VR'd; there are catastropghic simulations - you would rid the world of bees just to test if donald is wrong about nature being more powerful than he is, you can simulate it; or the future of smart tourism may be curation of what a community is proudest of being visited for - this way ecotourism, cultural appreciation exchanges can be twinned to maximise celebration of each other- and by the way friends of the tourist can join in virtually- of corse this raises a metaverse question - that Hong Kong is leading the world on

being 100% public - good and bad hacs- note context matters - context 1 smart city context 2 isolated vilalge no moore context 3 make a huge land safe at borders
