GuildHE’s Post

Leeds Conservatoire's employability toolkit, developed to demonstrate what transferable skills students may acquire as part of their specialist qualifications and how beneficial those skills are to potential employers, is highlighted in this new GuildHE and UKADIA report: https://bit.ly/3y4TlyH

Neurodiversity Toolkit and Guide for Event Planning La Trobe University has a neurodiversity toolkit for event planners, put together by Beth Radulski. While focused on academic events, it's nonetheless applicable to far more than students and visitors. Covering everything from sensory issue to cultural challenges, communication and language, and events both online and off, it's a comprehensive dive into both challenges and potential solutions. If you're an event planner looking to make your next event neurodiversity-friendly, this toolkit might give you some ideas, and perhaps a couple of things to check. https://lnkd.in/gSDjCBaf #diversityequityinclusion #neurodiversity #dei #DEInetwork #australianneurodiversity #diversity #neuroinclusion #neurodiversityawareness #neurodiversityinclusion #eventplanning #eventmanagement #latrobeuniversity

Chime Mali Chime. While celebrated as a CSR/ESG effort, what they failed to address was how jarring the sounds became, especially those used on the NSEWL (or otherwise internally known as Mainline). Perhaps I'm already accustomed to the actual Chime Mali Chime (Chan Mali Chan, a local folk song, used as a chime) on the CCL that I don't find it as jarring, but other people who've complained to me would think otherwise. What's wrong with using the same old, iconic "Ding Dong" which immediately makes people relate it to SMRT? If you hear that Ding Dong anywhere you'd instantly recognise it. Not this excruciatingly long and annoying noise though. Purported to help visually-impaired (VI) commuters know which bound arrived. Would you know the difference? Perhaps because I'm still affected by jarring noises (even though I try to tolerate it), you might still see or hear me cursing at the speakers, especially on ML because of how unacceptably loud the chimes are. What you don't know, is also what the company doesn't know, and sometimes doesn't bother to know.

Cultural assets are levers of growth, as they generate employment and local development and define our values and heritage and the environment in which we live in. Instead of promoting conservation, some governments -and Greece is high up in the list- are showing an ever declining commitment. One wonders why, when promising results i.e. the National Trust or the European Historic Houses show we are in the wrong direction.

On April 5, 2024 I will be at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna, British Columbia, to take part in a conversation with Azim Shariff on "Has Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Lost Its Way?" This is a type of conversation organized and supported by the Heterodox Academy, a unique academic event that pairs two scholarly experts who disagree on a topic in a public discussion of that topic. Not a traditional lecture or debate, these events aim to show that open inquiry, critical thinking, fair mindedness, and constructive disagreement can help us answer questions and solve problems. https://lnkd.in/d_scpKSs

RSA Why Creative Corridors and what does it mean? Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy emphasised: “We want to put rocket boosters under the creative industries, helping them to create more opportunities in ALL parts of the country and give people from all communities access to art and culture”. The UK is a creative superpower. It is home to 55 creative clusters identified by the DMCS, alongside an additional 700 creative microclusters which have been the focus of policy intervention. However, this economic growth isn’t reflected equally nationwide. London and the M25 collectively account for 68% of the UK’s creative industry’s gross value added (GVA) totalling £71 billion in 2019. A recent government Industrial Strategy Green Paper places the creative industries among the top sectors driving national growth. Creative Corridors is an exciting new policy concept designed to harness the enormous potential of creative industries to drive growth across all four UK regions. There are already examples of successful experimentation with 'corridors’ in the UK – such as the Northern Creative Corridor and the Thames Estuary Production Corridor which we can learn from.

I recently had the pleasure of reading "A Life Worth Living: Finding Your Purpose and Daring to Live the Life You’ve Imagined" by Kevin John Delaney. This book is a profound exploration of how we can bridge the gap between the life we are living and the life we truly desire. Here are some key lessons from the book: - Embrace Your Purpose: Discovering and embracing your true purpose can transform your life, bringing passion and fulfillment. - Live Boldly: Don’t settle for a half-lived life. Dare to pursue the life you’ve always imagined. - Learn from Adversity: Kevin’s journey from a near-death experience to a life of purpose teaches us the power of resilience and determination. - Inspire and Be Inspired: Through personal stories and the experiences of others, the book encourages us to find inspiration in everyday moments. - Make a Difference: Strive to live an extraordinary life that not only fulfills you but also makes a positive impact on the world. One of the best parts about this book is that the chapters are short, mostly less than 5 pages, making it very easy to read and digest. I highly encourage my everyone to read this inspiring book. It will challenge you, motivate you, and most importantly, help you find your path to a more meaningful life. As a gesture of appreciation and commitment to lifelong learning, we gifted a copy of this book to every participant at our recent Bali Global HR conference (see my previous post for more details: https://lnkd.in/g8v-_7nV). Let’s continue to inspire and support each other in our journeys toward living a life worth living. Here’s how you can get a copy of the book: https://lnkd.in/gpRn8Gte Happy reading. #HRLeadership #GrowthMindset #LifelongLearning #FindYourPurpose #InspireOthers
