Social Learning Members following Social Learning Programs in Social Learning Spaces

One of my prime "teaching" experiences was doing English in the Kreative Hort with two kids aged 4 and two. I spoke to both in English, the 2 year old asked his brother what i said, and the 4 year old "taught" the 2 year old. This is the "teaching" I am talking of. Ripple down from friends, colleagues, parents, siblings... etc. Learning by playing, talking and doing.

Here are some Social Learning Members following Social Learning Programs in Social Learning Spaces

THIS DAILY HABIT will PRIME YOUR BRAIN to be its BEST 🧠 Your MORNING ROUTINE has a lasting impact on the rest of your day.

Use this 15-min PRIMER as a preparation tool to start the day FOCUSSED, ENERGIZED, CREATIVE, CENTERED and CONNECTED to your ultimate outcomes.

It establishes a foundation of GRATITUDE for everything that’s guided us to this moment and the opportunity to START FRESH.

If you have obstacles that are holding you back from who you want to be, PRIMING is one of the most effective tools for bridging that gap.
.
💥PRIME YOURSELF! YOU DECIDE WHAT TO FOCUS ON OR THE WORLD WILL GLADLY DECIDE FOR YOU.

If you’ve been to any of our live seminars, you’ve experienced PRIMING in person. It’s a simple visualization hashtagmeditation at its core, but it’s one of those things that you can’t just cognitively know— you’ve gotta DO it to experience the benefits of its power.

This video will guide you through your own At Home Priming Exercise:

Little Britain vs Great Britain

 

Some say there is no kitchen in Britain, yet we have recently 

introduced some kids here to the delights of Crisp Butties and 

Banana Sandwiches, much to their delight.

Some of you know Britain from the TV and cinema, 

like Little Britain, The Royal Weddings and Funerals and 

of course The Inbetweeners (18+)

Some of you have been there, ( some are there now as we write 

this ) 

This week, A variety of offerings to meet some Brits in Vienna:-

Down at The Tube Station on Thursday night 20th, a special version of 

CafeDEnglish with Sav and Franziska, at 5.30 prior to the 

England vs Denmark game at 6, during which you will be 

welcomed and offered a Sausage or two by Barry.

On Saturday 22nd Is the Christchurch Midsummer Street Party.

Much frivolity and consumption of food and beverages, many with 

Commonwealth flavourings. Do you know how many people consider

themselves part of the Commonwealth?

Don't be shy, "come in and find out"... 

Any questions - here on fb please

Box of Books

 


New concept appeared today, after the Streetfest

3 tents, 12 books in each, on a heuriger table with benches ( or on a blanket on the ground )

6 kids per tent for half an hour with parents, rotate throught the books and through the three tents.

Kids get to touch and feel ( and see and read, or get read to ) 36 books in 90 minutes.

A flip chart page showing who is booked into the slots is self managed by parents or guardians, who take responsibility for the kids and the protection of the books

Venues ideas: Jesuitenwiese ( pilot 19th June 2024 - clash with kids safety event by tech museum, a venue closer to home perhaps ) Sommerbads, Kakuma and Nakivale, and more
Note - Also works indoors at Pizzeria Mama Mia, Pickwicks and Gota.
Resources required - see project plan here ( coming below )


Project Manager Position - Voluntary ( skills and experience building )

 Note . The Learning Street is seeking to make this a reality, for someone in Ghana, other locations are possible .-




July 2024 to September 2024 - 3 month pilot


Project Manager for The Learning Street


Pilot project to set up and run a Social Learning Space in Accra ( or other town, city or camp ), with target of building membership of 144 learners for an hour each per day in groups of 12 in a 25 m2 space with wifi, laptops, 12 chairs and art on the wall. 


Possible extension of further annex with 8 beds allowing 24 ( street ) kids to sleep safely for 8 hours per day, rotating with 8 hours learning and 8 hours following an outbound entrepreneurship program.


To include a bag of books program ( alias Box of Books ) that has 50 bags of 5-7 books that rotate around 50 children weekly, bringing 250 books in a year to children that had previously barely seen kids books ( requires only 250 books, 50 kids and 50 bags. ) After one year can rotate again or the books are given to the kids to keep. ( Mini entry point, to have 250 mini books, which are one sheet of A4 paper folded - see samples here - source of those books could be a creative writing competition where the prize is circulation of the book. Alternative, each week the 50 kids get a new set of 1-5 pages A4 printed, and build a set of 50-250 books by year end. )





CafeDEnglish is a low entry point project, whereby native English or German speakers offer some time at a local venue, or online, to speak to small groups of learners. All that is needed is a space, some time, and some people. Special focus is on kids with early retired teachers online.



With intention to continue as business development manager for a network of such Social Learning Spaces and Social Learning Programs, building the Social Learning Membership globally to 10,000 by 31.3.2025

Social Learning Programs - CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM - TEENAGE GIRLS - SHARE YOUR STORY

 

CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM - TEENAGE GIRLS - SHARE YOUR STORY ( TRUE OR FICTION )
sample story ( scraped here ) normally created locally and and sent by fb message ( free of charge )  to someone with fast internet - source https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/.../green-wars-a2/b1 - /  
sample text -  Plan 1: Guerrilla gardening The time is what the army call 'oh-three-hundred-hours' – three o'clock in the morning. We're in the car park of the sports centre. It's empty except for me and my best friend, Janey and an old truck. It belongs to the company that put grass on the town football pitch last week. 'What are we doing here?' I ask. 'Here's the plan,' says Janey. 'First, we take that truck ...' 'I'm going home,' I say. 'Good night.' 'Then, we drive to the Town Hall. And then we use the grass in the truck to cover the high street from top to bottom. Like one great big garden. Are you ready?' I think about it for a moment. Then I smile. 'OK,' I say. 'Let's go.' ... Our new green high street is beautiful.
