Isabelle Blum, an environmental scientist and art creator from Switzerland, and Manal Zeineddine are bringing the attention of education, environment, and the overall community, to individuals, who have been silently contributing to their communities. "Invisible Heroes" is a simple initiative, aiming at recognizing people, who might not be noticed, but their presence is a blessing to many and even to one. Nominate an individual from your school community and let it be a gift of appreciative attention at the end of this academic year, or from your community and let it be a gift of appreciative attention during these tough times of human health and economy history. No obligations for nominations. Information and applications can be found at: www.orbitsdevelopment.com/initiatives

Carl Garner, director of psychology and education, speaks about the Emotional Intelligence Mapping tool that he has created. This proactive tool, that resembles London tube map, simplifies complicated emotions for the purpose of enhancing emotional literacy in schools and other types of institutions. Through navigating lines, such as happiness line, anger line, stress line and more, users of the EIM can better understand emotions and make wiser decisions. Carl shares interesting research and examples of how linguistics affect our memories, and the new app being developed based on EIM for more data-based plans to foster engagement, curiosity, and self-regulation in school communities.

This episode provides more information about the two initiatives that I have launched for learners and leaders. The two projects for learners endorse 21st century skills, mainly critical thinking, self-regulation, communication, agency, accountability, and innovation. The projects foster self-discovery, real-life learning, and global engagement. They do not demand study or effort. The program for leaders involves school improvement planning for 2021-2022. Both initiatives are a contribution from me, supporting and reviving school spirit during these challenging times. The application forms are found on my website: www.orbitsdevelopment.com/programs. Let's endorse conscious learning and being.. together!
