  • Teachers Month: experiential learning and entrepreneurship

    Experiential learning is an engaged learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and later reflect on the experience. It has been widely-discussed amongst teachers whether there is a need to introduce entrepreneurship education at an early age. It has sparked a genuine public interest in educating the future innovative thinkers. Our next guest has created a MBA project with the purpose to develop children's entrepreneurial skills, leadership potential and ignite their critical thinking

  • Wellness Corner: learning challenges and emotional wellness of children

    Public schools have been struggling to provide adequate psychosocial and remedial support to accommodate children living with autism, ADHD or dyslexia. Many children have fallen through the cracks and are lost in the education system as a result. The COVID-19 pandemic transitioned teaching and learning to online classes, isolating many learners from the limited resources available. How have children with learning disabilities survived this transition? How has it impacted their emotional and social wellness? How do we support the parents navigating these challenges?

  • Wellness Corner: Raising your vibrational frequency

    As spiritual beings having a human incarnation, we have an optimal frequency that occurs when our cells vibrate at the frequency they are intended. This energy field has its own vibrational frequency influenced by our moods, attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions. In a postmodern culture focused on fulfilling the material needs of individuals, it has become important to invest in the development of resources associated with spirituality. This may simply mean developing a sense of connection with others, sense of life, and relationship with a transcendent force. When we are in alignment with our soul’s calling, our intentions are pure and our goals manifest more easily.

  • Wellness Corner: Courage

     

    When we hear the word courage, we most commonly visualize scenarios around defending ourselves or others from attack — physical, verbal, emotional or psychological. Yet, our personal courage ranges deeper than just fight or flight. When triggered, it can have significant positive benefits for our health and wellbeing, opportunities for success and our ability to move forward from the crisis. Psychological courage refers to the strength we have to confront the truth of ourselves, our behaviours and to act where required to elicit change. This kind of courage involves facing our deep-seated fear of acknowledging our faults and vulnerabilities. That is, accepting that there is a difference that exists between our ideal and actual selves

  • Secondhand Marketplace: #UprootTheDMRE campaign

     

    Our next guest has partnered with the Justice Climate Coalition to challenge the government to transform its harmful energy and mining sector to ensure a more socially, economically and ecologically just future for the next generation. It has outlined its concerns in an open letter to the Parliamentary Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy, the Minister of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy – Hon. Gwede Mantashe and the Presidency. The campaign, #UprootTheDMRE, would like the government to cease granting mineral exploration and mining rights in protected areas. This action would cause great social and biophysical damage. It does not align with South Africa’s commitment to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals 2030

A constant architectural cityscape frozen in time but its migrant population reshaping their mobility and evolving what it means to dig for gold in their respective fields.
