in developing village microfranchises and solutions which mothers

could use for their family's wellbeing, brac found that needed multiple testing of concepts of how person to person training became efficient, effective, expandable ( in fact brac set up a special research unit red to make sure nobody rushed into trying to replicate a micrifranchse before is was behirally replocable - additionally as dufefrent funding agencies parted and arrived - it was important to brac that red explained:

1) if you want to help with the poorest or most diusadvanted- we can find you those epopel because we are embedded with them

2) what we cant do is assume a solutuion you may have worked womewhere else will wiork without testing - we test small and many times if necessary befire we multiply big - thats how women empowerment works in ways that maxise wonens and chuldrens respect

====

of cousre in the develooping world there have been many stages - are the people taht ,ost need helep lietarte, do they have electricity, what is the cost of wayter for c,leaning as well as drinking

we kno from csik's research of high peroforming peopel that tehy maixiise the amlount of toime theyu spend at the expereintial edge of ytheor unique competemce- teh excat oppoiste of standaridsed examination

we know that discipolne sepoaration isnt what really works in capacity building for a whole community- most of the sustaionbilityy development gaoks are linked- and indeed the number 1 method of aleviating extreme poverty is for a profesisonal to go siut and learn with the community- as well as trasferiong hiss knowhow looking out for what systems are broken and if tise need diferent experts thsn knowing how to get them to join in

we also know that the idea of adoelscebts nit getting out of classroom is recent in terms of evolution of ours species- and in fact brain science shows that in early adoelecece the brain is much more geared to behavioiral learning that asking studnts to sit at desk

we also know now that the skills big man=unfactiring era compenies wanted to be examined are not relevant to service plus let alone knowledge scetros; and sinec there are fewer and fewer of these big employers ofering jobs we are not doing youth any favors wherever we fail to adapr=t education

in fact its is now known taht at hjwat evber age you leave teh education system , the majoroty wont find jobs witing for them - the y will need entreperenurally to co-create livelihhods- whats most cruueld is the alst 2 yeras of schooling could be the ebst time in your life to networkj but is stilen for you the more clkassrom klearning is the only thing the etachers are organsied to do

and here';s the rub british higer education never was organsiaed for the ebenif of the students as adam smith reavealed over 250 yeras ago

this isnt that duferent from experinces marhetrs have of launchung anew product - sone time it talkes 7 yeras to optimlise the commuinications oarticularly if new bevior or scieal chnage is part of what the product innovation's purpose was ablout

which world reciord job craetors confront this head on

siur fazle abed and jack ma are the two who we have elarnt most from and whose partenrship newtorks can be perfect wherever community's sustainability gopals are most severe

there is a connection between how your city is designed and how easy it is for children to safely learn in the community- recently this has become clearer and clerar round this question- is the city designe for aacrs to live in oir people to live in

in arly tests of moocs, MIT fopund ola's importanmt - tehese turned out to be the elarning module within the mooc tat ,ost connected its discipolie with other disciplines

all these things reinforce each otyher in 21st cities people can thrive in:

livelihood education, lotrs of communal sopaces, lots of conunal transprrt. celebartaion of gloing greenn and in local srts sports, fashions- love of each oyhers cultures, slowly locally sourced and cooked food- 

one can un dersatnd why amwerica massively invetsed in its interstae raods for cars after world war 2- but whats starnge is thet within a decade japna was inventing high speed trains, but amerucanm havent to this day considered such an investnment, and oddly while tyhe vkoters are crying out for new ins]=sfratructure investment the political spaces from congress to rival states do not seem to exist to ever leap fowrard to even conceptualing a 21st c in which usa invests in smart infrastructire for peopel and goods to be moved by- and its our childern who lsoe out from neither having family time in communities nor ever leping into the knowledge age where everoyine is a learner and a teacher- see our 1984 scriopt iof the sea chnage in education that will be needed wherever places thrive as both real and virtualkly empoiwering

these are the most exciting times to be alive

as soon as mlobiule technolgy enbaled it the classroom was flipped- stidents role model was ti be that of invetssigaticve freporters, it was tghe etacher whi became the xamined

in spite oxmases being hot in nezealand families devoted a lot of time to a fradion call in competiotion lasting 10 days - whats the next billion dolar market the world needs and only kiwis can produce

it can be interestong that this ted video of a hacker deines his peer's purpose when goven someting not to ask whats its maxde to do but if i tajke it apart what can i make it do

marta how are you all in barcelona - i have cc'd some people i have known for  a long time who are in barcelona as well as henry - we both earned ma in statistics in 1973 at cambrdge- we used to get frequently run over by steven hawkins who shared the same lab- in those days  maths people were given little more than a bicycle shed to work in but at least college was almost free- henry moved to madrid to start a family -the wise at madrid 2017 was the first time i got to visit him there- back in 2002 i was volunteer eu researcher on knowledge city collaboration- barcelona was celebrated as top- i want to rectify the way eu hq has turned against barcelona as well as most youth entrepreneur cities across europe- fortunately chinese friends are very happy to connect education at city by city levels - so we hope to arrange twin sister education cities very faster from october onwards if we can only make sure we have connected educators who want this both at high school and college level

- the new head of unhabitat wants supercities to send in their cases by march 2019 for a report she will publish to start 2020- this is just one of about 5 un subnetworks that guterres has started and all of which he refers to jack ma as his UN youth livelihoods ambassador- as i think you know jack ma will connect pro-youth cities at new level of artistic and education smarts from tokyo olympics onwards, and hopefully he will demand that cities in his club unlock their part of the 300 trillion dollars of most liquid finance currently banned from investing in SDGs

(also barcelona and the club of rome both its green and its peace networks used to work very closely with each other- if you know who is actively connecting that please tell me- i do know the person who runs http://www.premiosciaca.it but he is very hi level at vatican and i need to work out who he needs as one best contact)

do you or someone else in barcelona feel you are still multiplying wise connections- mostofa can introduce you to dr islam who is sir fazle abed's nominated connector as first wise laureate- there will be a complete rethink of how brac helps with the future  of education summit for a week sept 30 to oct 6 now we can get the advice of jack ma's main academic ying lowrey who is visiting brac for a week as she wants to understand everything brac connects as worlds largest ngo partnership as well as jack ma's new south asia partner as well as original wise laureate and in my opinion still the number 1 network of women empowerment impacts on deep sustainability goals

javeed we have a heck of a lot connecting in next 5 weeks; i dont understand will you be in usa again before the event in dhaka and are you coming to brac and ying lowrey- and who if anyone in usa do you feel we can keep connecting -it keeps on coming back to wise summit and gordon brown education commission at=re not openly connecting the people at the un that guterres is now getting to help youth livelihoods - i assume you are uptodate; i put most of the relevant un contacts at my blog economistwebs.com alibabauni.com among other spaces

economistwebs.com alibabauni.com

MOSTOFA

as i think you know rebecca at brookings actually coordinates all of gordon browns education commission and 30 national leaders work because she placed one of her graduates to be his operations director - and i know islam mentioned he had found that she doenst fully understand brac

if he could introduce me and i can take to her some notes which you two can make on linking future of education summits- as well as see if she will contact dr islam directly with gordon brown who is technically still the un's special envoy on education (i dont understand qatar- its the un academic hub fir refugee learning, but it comes to new york and doesnt connect any of the un's elading education or erfugee people - not that i recognise anyhow)

where i live rebecca has this dc event below in brookings in 10 days - islam could choose to say it looks very interesting if he things so- if he doesnt want to introduce me to rebecca but does want to start chatting with her that would be good; equally can you find out does he expect to say anything to anyone at wise new york before ying event- as you know one week before she comes to dhaka there is new york wise- as yet they havent let any delegate start to see other delegates though that is promised any day mow

Why doctors and mayors will be the next playful learning advocates: New evidence on supporting children’s education and development Wednesday, September 5, 2018, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20036 Schools are essential in supporting children’s learning but given that young people spend 80 percent of their waking hours outside the school walls, everyone has a role to play. New evidence in child development and the learning sciences shows that engaging children in playful learning experiences—which anyone from parents to peers can do—is a crucial ingredient for helping children fulfill their potential. Diversifying the people and places where children can engage in meaningful, social, and ultimately playful learning experiences has been identified as a key to leapfrogging progress in children’s learning, especially for the most marginalized. On September 5, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings will host an event to examine the power of playful learning and what those outside of the school system—from doctors to mayors to librarians—can do about it. Ultimately, playful learning is crucial for developing a suite of 21st century skills such as social-emotional and executive function, as well as cognition and language development—all skills needed by adults in an economically competitive world. After the session, panelists will take audience questions Join the conversation on Twitter at #PlayfulLearning.

Welcome and moderator Rebecca Winthrop, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Universal Education, The Brookings Institution | @rebeccawinthrop Presenters Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Senior Fellow, Center for Universal Education, The Brookings Institution; Stanley and Debra Lefkowitz Faculty Fellow, Department of Psychology, Temple University | @kathyandro1 Michael Yogman, Chief, Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics, Mt.

i will need 2 days to think about this (most of tomorrow is my last day with my daughter before her college year starts again)- i am just reworking all my city information -did you catch up with Gateway '17  one of its organisers and you as origin of first tuesday networks must linkin toronto as only supercity north of mexico while trump huffs and puffs ?

Gateway '17 Gateway '17

- whats big is new head of unhabitat - she wants every smart city case sent to her by march 2019 to release big report to start 2020- ultimately they are in charge of goal 11 sustainable cities - and the new head of unga is lady from ecuador- rosalia hosted the first gaol 11 review out of quito and well no former president ki have ever chatter toi cares moire about youth and teachers- i met her at an iqbal quadir event at mit- do you have mit contacts john- they helped unite china and bangladesh girl empowerment the best news for ages

while unhabitat has hq in nnairobi she is former mayor of penang and a lot of her secretariat is francsican - she warned people if you send me cases dont just think outside the box- there is no box

john i wonder if we can meet somewhere - i can get up to toronto or if you diary is going somewhere else fun for livelihoods of youth - where is that? there are various places i need to revisit including rome, miami and oxford and a couple of other people who seem to be tracking same future cities as i am

dear john

i find ecosystems (and cities investing in their youth's sustainable livelihoods and collaboration across sister cities) complex- there is a march 2019 deadline for the best cities report to be issued by unhabitat start if 2020 as one of guterres special projects

boston has a great students ecosystem but after 10 years of interviews there i dont think it would exist without MIT and legatum the latter is deeply supported by the canadian-led mastercard foundation which also supports girls adolescent hubs of brac the world's largest ngo where jack ma's main academic researcher 

as far as i can see this is one of america's 2 most interesting hubs Where Revolutions Begin | 1776 Startup Network and recipient of awards from canada- actaully it has deep pockets (founders of american online)- if amazon hq2 comes to region i live in it will be partly due to 1776

it would be great to know which canadian ecosystem you believe in most - here is jack ma's one day training Gateway '17 - i dint know of any country in the americas that has supported jack ma more than canada- this is partly because canada was the only country in the g7 that really wanted the g20

Gateway '17 Gateway '17

is there any chance you could come to our event in dhaka sept 30 to oct 6

John my main mentor ian ryder in uk knows the lady who was headhunted from The City for prince charles charities- she has been telling him that he needs to ,launch the charles youth opportunity trip advisor to where how try to do good

actually charles networks are in a piviotal ;position in the post brexit world

he knows all the bbc nature corespondents who want to green-livelihoods with youth

the only nation that can reconcile conflicts all across mid east and south asia is england that mainly caused them as kits mercantile adventures from 1500 to 1914 designed markets to make the empire bigger and every colony or place that refused to accept opium as a currency smaller

shall i introduce you to ian in case you can share contacts- irionically in 10 years of youth journalism research in bangladesh i have found that prince charles made too many connections with yunus; too few with sir fazle abed; the rest of my work this year attempts to make sure that jack ma and the whole of china (and up to 100 nations experimenting with belt roads) make the best contacts in bangladesh

2 students are helping me most - mostofa from the bangladeshi villages and amy from the chinese villages say if you would like me to intro them

our main treat is week in bangladesh sept 30 to oct 6 when jack ma's main female academic scoyt interviews everyone who has ever helped women digitally or in the village  - jack took 20% share in brac's bkash 3 months ago but that is just fintech what can the rest of womentech do?
