Back then, a keen yachtsman was sailing off the north coast of Crete when a storm broke. Needing to take refuge from the weather, he pointed his boat towards the rst place which offered shelter… and discovered a beautiful cove which acted as a natural haven against the elements. It was, you might say, a happy accident. He’d found paradise! Having fallen in love with the location’s natural beauty, the man decided to buy some land in the cove for possible future development. Then, in 2006, architecture rm 3SK Stylianidis — the designers of Daios Luxury Living, a contemporary boutique hotel in Thessaloniki — introduced him to Asterios Daios, founder and CEO of the family-run Daios business. An agreement was reached, the business acquired the land and, a few months later, on 7th July 2006, started the development of Daios Cove. Our legacy was born. 10 | 11 LOCATION YOU ARE HERE! Daios Cove is easily accessible from Heraklion International Airport, and a short drive from the sightseeing centres of Aghios Nikolaos and Elounda village. HERAKLION INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DAIOS COVE (HER) — 65km from Heraklion International Airport (50 min drive) — 70km from Heraklion port (60 min drive) — 7km from Aghios Nikolaos (10 min drive) — 15km from Elounda village (20 min drive) — Under four hours from most European airports 12 | 13 WEATHER & NATURE HERE COMES THE SUN With its typically temperate Mediterranean climate, Crete is lucky to enjoy year-round sunshine, mild weather and high temperatures. This — and its beautiful backdrop — makes it a popular holiday destination. The seasons can be roughly split into two: a dry and hot summer from May to October, which is perfect for sun-worshippers and mild heat-lovers. In the high season — July and August — it’s not unusual for temperatures to reach between 30°C and 35°C. Then there is a milder winter, from November to April, which can be rainy at times and cooler at night.

Muitas das escolhas dos caminhos teóricos se deram menos durante o mestrado, do que na vida estudantil e profissional. Um autor como Foucault, por exemplo, não chegou até mim sozinho numa folha de papel. Junto com ele estão momentos, estão professores que o apresentaram, estão pacientes que o tornaram necessário... enfim, cada escolha, cada saber, cada construção aparentemente “racional” está marcada por sentimentos e por vivências.

DESCRIPTORS Case Studies; *Construction (Process); *Construction Programs; *Educational Facilities Design; *Educational Facilities Planning; Foreign Countries; Purchasing; *School Construction; Secondary Education; *Secondary Schools; Urban Schools IDENTIFIERS *City Technology Colleges (England); England; Learning Environment ABSTRACT Six City Technology Colleges (CTCs) were all site selected, built, and opened in under 2 years without being compromised by expense or loss of quality. This document examines this "fast-track" method of building projects using case studies of each school that illustrate the CTC concept and process. The CTC initiative is described including discussions of its funding and ethos, educational characteristics and objectives, curriculum framework, building objectives, and project management concepts. The case studies explore the different forms of building contracts used (management forms, design and build, and measured term), furniture procurement methods, the school design development that supported the educational objectives, the inclusion of technology that met or exceeded the minimum requirements for technology and science, and the creation of a learning environment that supported cross curricular activity with increasing use of technology throughout the curriculum.

  • Tracing Transnational Identities of North Korean Refugee English Learners in South Korea DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulf
    Tracing Transnational Identities of North Korean Refugee English Learners in South Korea DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Seo Hyun Park Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Leslie C. Moore, Advisor Dr. Carmen Taleghani-Nikazm Dr. Alan Hirvela Copyrighted by Seo Hyun Park 2014 Abstract This ethnographic study focuses on (1) how adult North Korean refugees come to understand the practice of English language learning in South Korea and, in the context of this dynamic understanding, (2) how their identity work develops in the course of migration, resettlement, and language learning experiences. The study draws on varied data collected over the course of a year, including interviews, observations of the learners inside and outside of the classroom, and artifacts. Unlike newcomers to the Anglosphere, immigrants new to the English as a foreign language context may not be aware of the need of English in the host society before or right after migration. The North Korean refugee population is an example of such border- crossers, whose sending and receiving countries are outside of the Anglosphere and who slowly discern the new or increased need to learn English. Contrasting North Korea‘s top-down management of English education to South Korea‘s family-driven ―English frenzy,‖ the study demonstrates that the current North Korean refugee population overlaps little with those in North Korea who are granted access to English education. Even after their entry to the South, the majority of adult refugees are excluded from access to English learning opportunities due to South Koreans‘ double standard toward English as critical for themselves but optional for the newcomers.
