What is Theory of Change? | Theory of Change Community Image credit: Sidney Harris Theory of Change is essentially a comprehensive description and illustration of how and why a desired change is expected to happen in a particular context. It is focused in particular on mapping out or “filling in” what has been described as the “missing middle” between what a program or change initiative does (its activities or interventions) and how these lead to desired goals being achieved. The Outcomes Framework then provides the basis for identifying what type of activity or intervention will lead to the outcomes identified as preconditions for achieving the long-term goal.
Why | PER | Il Parco dell'Energia Rinnovabile Our main aim is to contribute to saving the planet: it’s so obvious we take it for granted. PeR was also created for three other reasons: The three whys of PeR The first motivation is personal: the founders Alessandro and Chiara, after reading hundreds (maybe thousands) of books on renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, felt ready to put their knowledge into action. The second motivation is cultural: the region is enchanting; it has been inhabited for three thousand years. There is a relationship between topics of conversations and places. The third motivation is an act of love for agriculture: To explain what we mean, we’ll tell you where we started: the ground was abandoned in the 60’s, when the farmers left for the city. PeR is 575 meters above sea level and it’s located between Todi and Amelia in the municipality of Guardea. The place is really special, because it is “normal”, in that, it doesn’t have any of the trappings of mass tourism.
The International Flag of Planet Earth The scientific study of flags is called vexillology, and the practice of designing flags is called vexillography. Both of these are an outcome of heraldry. In these practices there are different unofficial design rules/costums, about colors, placement, proportions, typography, and aestethics in general. This proposal is accurate according to the regulations regarding flags. Centered in the flag, seven rings form a flower – a symbol of the life on Earth. The rings are linked to each other, which represents how everything on our planet, directly or indirectly, are linked. Centered on an azure field, seven circles of silver interlaced, creating a flower.
Aurea Social | Educació - Salut - Autogestió Digital Culture Inicio REALITY, Reality, reality As Alice said to Humpty Dumpty after he replied “Glory!”, “Why, whatever do you mean by that?” Reality — wouldn’t even go there trying to define it. AR/VR/MR Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, all coming to a headspace near you. Google Googles, Occulus Rift, Magic Leap, the list just goes on and on, and are all moving from the labs and techno-framing dungeons to a store shelf and digital click this coming year. And there is a mediated sense in which this is true. Hence the previous two posts, as breadcrumbs to get you to follow me to your new home in cyberspace. Blended/Mixed/Hybrid Reality will be offering you such things as a mediated walk thru your favorite art gallery. And that’s going to be one of the problems of mediated cyberspace. Cory Doctorow has many good things to say about this and you can thank your lucky stars he’s on your (our) side, working tirelessly on your (our) behalves, at EFF And guess who’s waiting for you. Learned a new word this week: Pronoia.
La cooperativa - cooperativa agricola sant antoni La Cooperativa Agrícola Sant Antoni se fundó el 25 de Noviembre de 1951 con el nombre de Cooperativa Agrícola de San Antonio Abad y número 5628 del Registro Central de Cooperativas, encuadrada en la Unión Nacional de Cooperativas del Campo; y la sección de crédito de la Cooperativa (Caja Rural), en la Unión Nacional de Cooperativas de Crédito. En estos primeros momentos, la Cooperativa tenía su sede dentro del pueblo de San Antonio, en la carretera de Santa Inés, ahora Calle Ramón y Cajal, en un solar cedido por el Ayuntamiento de San Antonio, sobre el cual la Cooperativa construyó (con aportaciones voluntarias de sus socios) su local social. Su actividad se centraba en la compra de materias primas (semillas y abonos), y la venta de las producciones de sus socios (cereales, almendras, algarrobas, hortícolas y ganado porcino). Durante varios años se hicieron las gestiones para la ampliación de las instalaciones ya existentes y la compra de maquinaria.

Top 10 emerging technologies of 2015 Technology is perhaps the greatest agent of change in the modern world. While never without risk, technological breakthroughs promise innovative solutions to the most pressing global challenges of our time. From zero-emission cars fuelled by hydrogen to computer chips modelled on the human brain, this year’s 10 emerging technologies offer a vivid glimpse of the power of innovation to improve lives, transform industries and safeguard our planet. To compile this list, the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies, a panel of 18 experts, draws on the collective expertise of the Forum’s communities to identify the most important recent technological trends. The 2015 list is: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. Zero-emission cars that run on hydrogen “Fuel cell” vehicles have been long promised, as they potentially offer several major advantages over electric and hydrocarbon-powered vehicles. There are a number of ways to produce hydrogen without generating carbon emissions.
Sa Bassetja - Assemblea Alternativa d'Eivissa - Manifest Assemblea Alternativa d'Eivissa Sa Bassetja, Assemblea Alternativa d'Eivissa, neix amb la ferma voluntat d'esdevenir un espai de lluita i mobilització permanent per capgirar la situació de crisi democràtica, nacional i socioeconòmica que pateix la nostra illa. L'assemblea és formada per gent procedent de diversos àmbits: treballam de forma assembleària i autònoma i som oberts a la participació de qualsevol persona o col·lectiu que treballi per la transformació social. Volem impulsar la unitat popular i establir sinergies amb els moviments socials, tot fomentant el treball de base i recuperant els carrers com a espai públic per a la trobada i la protesta. En aquest sentit, som conscients que el model econòmic capitalista és el responsable directe del patiment de la majoria de la població: les persones aturades, les immigrades, les desnonades, etc. pateixen els seus efectes més greus a casa nostra, però tampoc podem oblidar els països empobrits, les víctimes de guerres imperialistes...
Media and Culture Journal M/C Journal was founded (as "M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture") in 1998 as a place of public intellectualism analysing and critiquing the meeting of media and culture. M/C Journal is a fully blind, peer-reviewed academic journal, but is also open to submissions and responses from anyone on the Internet. We take seriously the need to move ideas outward, so that our cultural debates may have some resonance with wider political and cultural interests. Each issue is organised around a one word theme (see our past issues), and is edited by one or two guest editors with a particular interest in that theme.
