  • 16 Crew Meeting Report
    13th HUSSARS ONLINE During this lockdown which has taken place due to the corona virus pandemic, we, 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group, have discovered a great method to keep the scouting spirit alive. When everyone was stuck at home, we Hussars were able to set a unique example. For the first time in the history of Bangladesh Scouts, a group conducted their crew meetings online and that group was 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group. We are not bragging, but needless to say, the use of technology by Hussars to conduct scouting activities is certainly inimitable for other groups. We do not support scouting activities being done online. We believe that scouting activities should be done practically and physically. But during this lockdown, there were no other better alternatives. For that reason, we will continue our scouting activities online until it’s safe for everyone to go outside our houses. Therefore, we are emphasising to learn the theoretical contents of the Rover Program. A special thanks to Zoom, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other online social media platforms from our family, for enabling us to make the online meetings possible during this pandemic. Some pictures with short explanation of some of the online crew meetings are given below. FIRST ONLINE CREW MEETING Online Crew Meeting 20th March 2020 - PART - 01 Flag Hoisting, Prayer Song and Patrol Report. As per the current situation of our Country we all must stay at our home to stay safe. And for the first time in the history we conducted the weekly Crew Meeting of our group virtually online with all the members of our group.

  • It's Not Just About Tents and Campfires
    It’s not just about tents and campfires An example of how a non-governmental organization empowers young people to become good citizens making a positive change in their communities as well as in the world. Emelie Göransson Bachelor’s thesis in Development Studies, 15hp Department of Human Geography, Lund University Autumn 2013 Supervisor: Karin Steen Abstract The concept of empowerment is deeply rooted in power relations. Young people have often been seen as incompetent, however, if given the right tools they can achieve positive change today. They are not merely the adults of the future; they are the youth of today. Education and awareness rising are key ingredients in the creation of change and development. How to educate, enable and empower young people one might ask; the answer provided in this thesis is through the Scout Movement. The reason for this is that the Scout Movement is the world’s largest non-formal educational movement with a positive view on what young people can achieve. It is a movement that teaches young people good citizenship and empowers them to become self-fulfilled individuals creating a positive change in their communities.

    The Transfer of German Pedagogy in Taiwan (1940–1970) Liou, Wei-chih ABSTRACT Wissenstransfer spielte eine zentrale Rolle im Prozess der Herausbildung akademischer Diszipli- nen bzw. der Reform der traditionellen Wissenskulturen in einer Vielzahl nichtwestlicher Länder im 20. Jahrhundert. Ein Beispiel für solch einen Modernisierungsprozess bildet der Einfluss der deutschen Bildung und Pädagogik auf Taiwan. Der Aufsatz beginnt mit einer Analyse der neun einzigen chinesischen Pädagogikstudenten, die ihre akademischen Grade in Deutschland zwi- schen 1920 und 1949 erwarben, danach nach China zurückkehrten und nach 1949 in Taiwan als „Wissensmediatoren“ fungierten. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese Pädagogen versuchten, nach dem Vorbild der geisteswissenschaftlichen Tradition der deutschen Erziehungswissenschaft die taiwanesische Pädagogik und das Bildungssystem, das bis dahin vom amerikanischen Wis- senschaftsparadigma dominiert war, zu reformieren. Dies war mit dem Anspruch verbunden, anhand der kulturellen und philosophischen Annahmen der „Kulturpädagogik“ westliche und chinesische Kultur in Taiwan miteinander harmonisch zu verbinden und angesichts der politi- schen Ereignisse in China 1949 neue Lösungen für den Bildungsbereich zu suchen. Der Analyse liegen die theoretischen Annahmen des Wissenstransfers von Steiner-Khamsi und Schriewer zugrunde. Knowledge transfer played a crucial role in the process of modernizing academic dis- ciplines in many non-Western countries during the 20th century. Many of them began either to modify the old or to establish an entirely new tradition of academic disciplines; this essay will address the specific case of pedagogy in China and Taiwan.1 Its analysis Due to the specific historical context in China and Taiwan, the transfer of Germany pedagogy in this article was researched geographically in China before 949, and after 949 in Taiwan.
