A History of the World - List of Objects Me and You < Mondadori Education Il concetto di didattica per competenze comincia ad affermarsi intorno alla metà degli anni ’90, nei documenti dell’Unione Europea, come il Libro bianco sull’istruzione e formazione1 a cura di Edith Cresson, allora Commissario Europeo con delega alla scienza, ricerca ed educazione, in cui si legge: «In tutti i paesi d’Europa si cercano di identificare le “competenze chiave” e di trovare i mezzi migliori di acquisirle, certificarle e valutarle. Viene proposto di mettere in atto un processo europeo che permetta di confrontare e diffondere queste definizioni, questi metodi e queste pratiche». L’idea di competenza deriva dall’ambito lavorativo, dove indica “il patrimonio complessivo di risorse di un individuo nel momento in cui affronta una prestazione lavorativa o il suo percorso professionale”.2 La dimensione della potenzialità e quella della natura integrata della competenza sono fondamentali, perché le ritroveremo anche nell’applicazione al mondo della scuola. 1. 2. 4. competenza digitale

À l'ENA aussi il y a du racisme RACISME - "Mettre en avant la voix et les visages si souvent oubliés des étudiants noirs." Après les prestigieuses universités anglo-saxonnes d'Harvard, Berkeley ou Cambridge, l'Ecole nationale d'administration, l'ENA, a aussi vu apparaître une campagne photo dénonçant les clichés. Le site "I, too, am ENA", ("Moi aussi, je fais l'ENA"), a été lancée le 11 avril par des étudiants de la fameuse école dont sont issus les plus grands hommes politiques. D'origine africaine, les étudiants rapportent des remarques entendues, des commentaires qui leur ont été faits : "Pourquoi tu fais l'ENA, tu veux être président de l'Afrique?" L'immobilisme de l'ENA Les étudiants d'Harvard, dans le Massachusetts, avaient été les premiers à lancer l'idée, rapidement suivis par les membres d'universités renommées comme Cambridge ou Notre Dame. L'ENA, qui fait partie des 10 universités d'où sont issus le plus de PDG dans le monde, avait été largement critiquée par un ancien élève, Olivier Saby, en 2012.

Artensterben: Orang Utans – die Opfer des Palmöl-Booms Im Schutzgebiet Tuaran auf Borneo klammert sich die kleine Cinta an einen Baum und starrt Dutzende von Touristen an. Das Orang-Utan-Kind hatte sich in eine riesige Palmöl-Plantage verirrt, bevor es in den Park gebracht wurde. Umweltschützer retteten es vor dem sicheren Tod. Cinta ist eines der vielen Opfer des Palmöl-Booms, dem weite Teile des Regenwaldes auf der Insel weichen mussten. Fast ein Fünftel der Fläche der malaysischen Provinz Sabah auf Borneo ist bereits mit Ölpalmen bedeckt. Palmöl findet Verwendung in der Nahrungsmittelindustrie, als Biokraftstoff und bei der Herstellung von Kosmetika. Dafür muss der Dschungel weichen. Nach Einschätzung des Umweltprogramms der Vereinten Nationen werden die Menschenaffen mit dem rotbraunen Fell innerhalb von 20 Jahren praktisch aus der freien Wildbahn verschwinden, wenn die Rodung weiter betrieben wird wie bisher. Malaysia ist nach Indonesien der zweitgrößte Palmöl-Exporteur der Welt.

Geek Attitude Språket som delar Finland | Kultur | SvD "Du ska dö martyrdöden."Mordhotet till Jeanette Björkqvist Mordhotet kom via mejl. Journalisten Jeanette Björkqvist skulle få ytterligare två inom loppet av några månader våren 2013. Och hon var inte ensam. I ett av dem stod det att hon skulle åka hem till Sverige, ett land där hon aldrig bott. Gemensamt för alla var att de var kvinnor, offentliga personer, och hade på något sätt anknytning till det finlandssvenska språket. Jeanette Björkqvist hade suttit med i en nyhetspanel i en rikstäckande tv-kanal och pratat om aktuella världshändelser. - Men jag är finlandssvensk, det gjorde mig till en måltavla, säger hon när vi träffar henne på den svenskspråkiga tidningen Hufvudstadbladets redaktion i Helsingfors. Mejlen med mordhot hade skickats via en anonymitetstjänst och polisen utreder nu vem som kan ligga bakom. - Det är inte roligt att veta att man väcker så mycket aggressioner. Hatbreven kommer fortfarande, hela tiden. Liknande saker drabbar även journalister i Sverige.
