value debate 1.1; if you succeeded over a generation of breaking cycles of illiteracy and infant mortality, how much does the opportunity accelerate a generation later now that many a rural area that previously had no communications now is fully connected by mobile/e -(we'll return to celebrate this in week 5)
value debate 2 - what the wealthiest people in cities regards as academic training may have no relevance to job creation in villages - this was first understood by Gandhi- why is it that over 100 years later most of our world shows that there have been few advances in vocational training and hybrid teenager apprenticeships
-Sir Fazle Abed was voted as inaugural hall of fame winner at WISE oscars of education seen as learning for a living? is there any country in 21st Centiry where it will remain true that majority of jobs comes come about by youth passing exxaminations and waiting for employers to offer them a job?
exactly what information needs to be in a 12 minute presentation of a microfranchise so that communities desperating neding a solution to a similar challenge can work out whether this particular franchsies is openly replicable
The Economist first predicted in early 1980s that 30000 microfranchise solutions would need to be identified and massively celebrated if humanity was to sustain a global vilage network planet by applying these franchises was to :
ensure sustainability of every community on the planet
unite human race in celebrating achievement of millennium goals
help make 2010s the most productive , sustainable and heroic time for youth all ove the planet http://www.wholeplanet.tv
are politicians and the macroeconomists they hire helping or hindering this collaboration search in places that matter most to you?
when milllennium goal summits started to be hosted annualy from 1997, it was thought that Bangladeshi microcredit was a system design worth everyone getting to know. apart from this mooc can you recommend any 12 minute presentaions on exactly how the models of bangaldeshi microcredit worked before mobiles came to the villages?

hello nicolas and roberto - latin amerincan directirs argentina region world bank
10 years ago my father and I started trying to help students set up livelihood clubs with dr muhammad yunus- i traveled over to bangladesh 15 times; helped students to make youtubes with all his main directors -with glasgow adam smith scholars published the journal of social business but things fell apart as yunus lost control of the bank and later caneelled the nobel laureates summit in joburg and atlanta both of which our friends had spent many years staging youth entrepreneur prelim events
our core group managed to stay connected with sir fazle abed of brac.tv and when my father died the japan ambassador in dhaka invited sir fazle abed and kamil quadir to explain what they were creating at http://www.bkash.com
brac.tv - a guide to collaboration's best for the world organisations
things came full circle earlier this year when jack ma took 20% partnership in bkash; the chair of jack ma aliresearch at china's pub;lic service university tsinghua is spending a week at brac at start of october- she will exchange many ideas with publication of her second book on futures jack ma wants youth to co-create eg how brac can help search for women jack ma global business school would like to train
my question to you - do you already have this sort of thing set up with student anchored networks in latin american countries? -if not is there some way we can help link you - assuming its not practical to be in dhaka we could schedule a skype - i hope this mail is redundant and already covered eg by youth preparing for argentina g20 but i am writing to doublecheck- as you may know jack ma is committed to returning mainly to education from the japan olympics on and in between worldwide youth and girls especially can also connect through japan g20 citizens groups

sciplinary research at the intersection of the learning sciences and computer science. Inspired by the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the accompanying huge shift in thinking about education, this conference was created by ACM as a new scholarly venue and key focal point for the review and presentation of the highest quality research on how learning and teaching can change and improve when done at scale.
"Learning at Scale" refers to new approaches for students to learn and for teachers to teach, when engaging large numbers of students, either in a face-to-face setting or remotely, whether synchronous or asynchronous, with the requirement that the techniques involve large numbers of students (where "large" is preferably thousands of students, but can also apply to hundreds in in-person settings). Topics include, but are not limited to: Usability Studies, Tools for Automated Feedback and Grading, Learning Analytics, Analysis of Log Data, Studies of Application of Existing Learning Theory, Investigation of Student Behavior and Correlation with Learning Outcomes, New Learning and Teaching Techniques at Scale.

up in Americam heartland in a family who had fled North Korea and
The UK daughter Ophelia Dahl of the famous author Roalhd Dahl
Both Paul and Jim came from cultures "live your life for eternity" ; ; they met in Boston circa 1987 while Farmer was commuting between Haiti (where he had previously met Ophelia and started serving the poorest) and Harvard where he was taking his medical degree..
POP model of Partners in Health is the only model known to us where young world class medics have seen their calling as living with the poorest, aiming to solve their system challenges as well as health needs, and revelled in every way new technology could benefit poorest first. Paul Farmer goes further in explaining how POP culture of the kind Perui's Catholic faith practice orginator (since 1968) Father Gutierrez empowers joy something that young professionals seeing life and death of the poorest for the first time need a lot of support to mix such emnotional intelligences as love, hope, courage and joy.
I has been in delivering hope after presence at some of the developing world;s greatest challenges that PIH has attracted transfornational investment
In the peru of the late 1990s KIm helped pioneer local treatment of drug resisatnt TB but by making the case that TB and HIV could disatrously impact each other PIH was celebrated on the world stage and by investirs such as George Soros who wanted Kin's approach to be extended to Russuan Prisons. later when the earthquaje struck Haitia, PIH had bedome trusted to be the natiral choice to rebuild and henceforth pown the etaching hospital the quake had destroyed. see what Farmer has built
Through the 2000s Jim Kim started connecting movements of global health such as those needed to change pharma company policy on prices in the innovation of HIV abti-virals; he also befriemded Harvards doyen of value chain strategy Micael Porter persuading him for almsot the first time to remap a whole global market sectors social value chain integrated around POP. These days Boston stiudents join not only in PIH operations but various networks such as YPChronic making case for life-saving drugs affordability and universal access . Boston offers one of the few ecosystems in western world that is challenging paradigm of get bigger and more expensive
1980s
By 1984 The Economist was predicting one generation would become more connected by mobile networks than separated by history's distance. If continuing since 1946 to double spends on global village communications technologies was to sustain millennials, then knowledge sectors like health services should come down in cost
Looked back from 2015 the few other places that took on The Economist's challenge trained community health workers for the vilages but dindnt sned out world class doctors from the outset.
To see how this system was designed see BRAC where the foundations of women developing a poorest nation depended on the model originated in Bangladesh,. Here grassroots community health networking begot trust inc vlillage mothers to bank for the poor and invest in education of their children. In particular through knowhow networked advances in infant health such as oral rehydration mothers could plan smaller famjlies with rising health for their children and themselves

ty generation
what if from age 9 up open space was as much a literacy as any other primary literacy
if jack ma and sir fazle abeds ideas were accessible (number 1 web link) to youth who could openly quiz educators - how could that change things- if youth were freed by kalams rule what would happen - tear up any non-sustainable curriculum (deadline india 2020)
the two biggest changes we need to navigate require experiential learning by adolescents
turning community green- coding for social (4000 fold change factor of communications etch)
how does edusummit tap into latest change reports at un - eg digital coop report, refugee learning reports (academic impact hubs)
new universities - pro-youth, disadvantaged - either pay later if successful, or offering training back from future of public servants - or why would societies want to charge youth who saving the human race
why not only one university- curriculum of doing sustainability ending global poverty - the best - why cant we make market of best content presenters - then work back from how to locally coach that - eg bridges less than 5% make content
mooc missed opportunities- first one eg kims change the world got million people but didnt then branch into an entrepreneur competition - missed opportunity of realty tv story- sustainability livelihoods apprentice
missing curricula and missing modalities - eg 10 times more affordable languages will come from peer to peer webs not classroom
spiritual curricula before adolescences - city montesorri, maharishi, tokyo mayors memory of zen
cases where exchanges are happening - arctic circle experimenting with virtual reality of learning by "being" in each other's community - creating exchanges that are youth led on local community issues- collaboration curricula arcus
systems that have been founded round livelihoods not standard examination
brac since 1972
thelearninweb.net since 1984
montessori since 1920 (including village systems - india gandhi- brac banglaldesh)
most famous people didnt go through standard school system
-how do we clarify different behavioural learning systems for different types of successful people - how do we make sure news is released at youth expos eg at olympics
stories of how the classroom was designed around empire bureaucrats - not maximisng individuals diverse born-with talents nor communities diverse contexts
are any nations putting even 2% of educational money into learning - if so what sorts - america sees khan as normal ; china may see AI teaching assistants as the norm;
what are the most extreme edutech platforms already designed- what the most creative thing being done with it eg hujiang (plus chinese tedx convener only of new education)
the hidden agenda - no homework easy to be successful where communities safe and rish for youth to try stuff in - ie community thriving and ending classroom double looped
-why would a community not prioritise making sure any unique skills to that culture are given precedence in education system (ie everyone's potentially a teacher and a learner - not a profession of teachers - 4 monopolies of teachers- what adam smith said about system whose higher education's inost designed for the youth
LINKS
suppose we now can design bank for 2 billion unbanked but not livelihood training (or no sme market) for them -= will we be doing any sustainability good
what if education was discussed everywhere new belt raid infrastructure invested in - ie what if livelihood learning had equal first access to infrastructure or any other financial access - cf 300 trillion dollars that does not see humanity's sustainability goals as asset class

ou- if they could each write a one pager on what education system partners their expertise would like to see that you could share with ban-ki moon, soros and botstein - and adam smith scholars. it seems to me that everywhere east of vienna involves choosing edu and tech partners that brac needs to be in middle of if fazle abed legacy is to grow-soros implied that in the way ceu presented the ultimate open society award to fazle abed at central eu uni 2013 https://www.ceu.edu/article/2013-06-18/record-number-receive-diplomas-open-society-prize-awarded-graduation - then maybe the rest of…[8:22 AM, 2/18/2020] Chris Macrae: vincent- do you know if any of team soros-ki-moon etc know ray dalio - i know he supports schwarzman scholars and believe he is one of the ny funds that may turn green https://www.linkedin.com/in/raydalio/detail/recent-activity/posts/ but i dont know much[10:52 AM, 2/18/2020] Vincent Brac: I’m thinking of organizing an international conference on Watts, Smith and Abed. I may be able to make it to Scotland this coming weekend. You think you may be able to link me with U of Glasgow decision makers?[10:54 AM, 2/18/2020] Vincent Brac: If not, it’d be ok. I’d find another time[3:20 PM, 2/18/2020] Chris Macrae: i will resend mail between you berry (see small book i gave yu) and his suggestion- they who know smith- there is the head of the whole university muscatelli- he currently hates bangladesh solutions because yunus misused 100000$ funds and million dollars of goodwill[3:51 PM, 2/18/2020] Chris Macrae: please see mail just resent chris berry and you and his co-scholar craig- please feel free to correct my intro- i realise i am out of date[7:09 AM, 2/19/2020] Chris Macrae: vincent can i check - are you connected with person in brac international office who summarises work/partners in 12 countries https://www.bracinternational.nl/en/ - for example soros is main investor in brac liberia/sierra leone- it would be pity if osun reinvents partners wheel when brac is in middle of livelihood education in 12 countries and knows which of its partners as worlds largest ngo economy do what- one example i believe the head of mastercard foundation reeta roy has made uganda brac world leading lab for teen girls jobs clubs- while based in toronto she connects with founders of bkash, their legatum scholars out of mit and is herself a tufts alumni a college i find very interesting- there are many reasons why i would like to catalogue leads across boston- i am sure you know many of them but its not clear what understanding soros north american partners have of boston or 10 most exciting tech cities such as hong kong, singapore tokyo glasgow- of course its confusing that brac was pivotal to making global education summits wise, gordon browns, yidans famous but did not really tap into intel of whos changing what to sustain youth through education- arguably the right contact in brac netherlands can help - i am still unclear how the map of everything that was in fazle abed's head is shared between yo and the family. this does to a second level by disciple- eg soros has been critical sponsor on health for all of fazle abed jim kim and paul farmer - the latter two out of boston- i met paul farmer at central euro uni in budapest the year sir fazle was the open society laureate- i am not sure the living opensoc laureates have been mapped by ceu https://www.ceu.edu/open-society-prize?page=1 for where they support education- it seems to me a top level comparison of eg 1 fazle abed connections 2 soros 3 yours 4 ban ki-moons need a survey process although this could be driven by a combined mooc indexed by goal solutions partners-technologies- it could also be very important for scotland in brexit mess to help ceu and ban ki-moon- the 3 royal families japan netherlands and uk have both historical understanding of asia and their nations aid programs have most consistently understood fazle abed in cultural ways critical to helping youth bridge borders integral to climate and their goals…

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g

I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
