@Steven_Berryman @weareproductive @NewhamLondon @i_padawan How exciting you're at KCL now. Have you come across @bmc_college? Radical new institution in Wales teaching arts and climate change. Not sure where they have got to on music yet...

@weareproductive @alexfbeard @NewhamLondon @i_padawan This is an excellent book - I ended up mentioning it at the start of many of my lectures at KCL.

Coffee on ☕️ - my weekend read has arrived! Thank you to @alexfbeard who spoke at our @NewhamLondon Education Conference this week. Can’t wait to read Natural Born Learners and go on a tour of the future of learning @i_padawan #education #newham #reading #learning

@weareproductive @NewhamLondon @i_padawan Thank you Vik! Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to a longer conversation soon.

@mrkocnnll You had me at Emmanuel Carrère. Can't wait for this

My book, A Thread of Violence, comes out in less than three weeks in the US of A. The time for the hard sell is upon us. This is what Emmanuel Carrère said about it:

Presenting a 5-part film, 'The City in the Shadow of Oblivion'. In part 1, the medieval port of Old Winchelsea is clawed into the sea by one of the most horrific storms of the entire Middle Ages. Contains graphic imagery! Serialised all week; do share! shorturl.at/flEN9

I found the recent @nytimes opinion piece on AI by @harari_yuval @tristanharris @aza very interesting and I agree with some of the overall thrust and points but object to MANY of the important details. So, time for a 🧵 detailing my critiques: nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opi…

This panel hosted by @alexfbeard @TeachForAll’s Community Impact Lab brought to life so beautifully the importance of all the actors in systems—from those crucial stakeholders in schools and communities to those who control leverage points in government and beyond.

🆘 Where there's conflict, futures are lost ✅ Unless we protect education! This means delivering @G7, @FCDOGovUK, @JamesCleverly promises, incl. fully funding @GPforEducation. Read the @timesredbox @sarahsands100 op-ed to mark #WorldChildrensDay tinyurl.com/2va4zcj2

I think we would operate very differently in education if we put 🔻 Less emphasis on report cards, and ✅ More emphasis on family albums Let me explain what I mean through Raquel’s story…

7 in 10 kids worldwide can't read. 9 in 10 in my home continent Africa. It's worse than we thought - but there are solutions at scale. Read our new report co-authored by @gatesfoundation and @WBG_Education @UNICEF @FCDOEducation @UNESCO @USAIDEducation worldbank.org/en/news/press-…

70% of kids can’t read Specifically 70% of 10 year olds in low and middle income countries can’t read for meaning The best part of a generation shut out by a #learningcrisis @JaimeSaavedra22 on why we must #TransformingEducation @UNESCO @WBG_Education @TeachForAll

Do you see me? Why do I feel invisible and mute? Ria, 17, singer, songwriter, poet, bringing down the house at @UNESCO #TransformingEducation in Paris, on pushing through a system that expected her to fail @ELAMhq @TeachForAll @TheWorldsLesson 🎤💫

Join the global movement to #TransformEducation says @AminaJMohammed Few sectors more difficult to change than education, and no change was ever granted graciously We need a global movement of schools, business, politics, but especially of young people @UNESCO @TeachForAll
