Facilitating Sustainable Change Education and Integration Facilitating Sustainable Change through Education and Integration 12th Global Issues Network Conference 23-25 March 2017 Luxembourg Chambre de Commerce du Luxembourg DR! ! DU! F-1 ! ' ! D$! DJ! DT! A' Welcome Letter from Nicki Crush, Director at ISL Dear Conference Delegates, I feel privileged to have this opportunity to welcome you all to Luxembourg as participants in the twelfth European Global Issues Network (GIN) conference. As ‘agents of change’ and active conference participants, I hope you are ready to help facilitate sustainable change through education and integration, the theme of this year’s conference. This year, we are delighted to welcome four new schools and given that the event was fully booked before the closing date, we would encourage schools across the regions to consider hosting their own GIN Forum to help spread the word and allow more schools to join in. The coming few days promise to be thought provoking, inspiring and an opportunity for debate and reflection with such an international gathering of minds. As one of the founding schools of the Global Issues Network, the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) is again very happy to host the conference and is this year particularly appreciative of the Banque de Luxembourg’s sponsorship of the conference. We remain extremely grateful to the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce for allowing us to use their outstanding facilities for our presentations, workshops and discussions. ‘Facilitating Sustainable Change through Education and Integration’, is the theme of this year’s conference. We are honoured to have many inspirational keynote speakers including Andy Cunningham, co-founder of WISER, one of Kenya’s first centres for women’s education and who now works for the Aga Khan Foundation in Geneva. Also joining us is Isabel Falkenberg, CEO of Walkabout, a foundation which seeks a cure for paralysis and provides wheelchairs for those with limited mobility. We are delighted to welcome Sophia Jansen – who at ten years old is our youngest speaker to date! Inspired by David Mason’s Mobile Mini Circus, Sophia initiated her Garden Concerts for the Mobile Mini Circus for children in Kabul. A survivor of the Rwandan genocide, Marie-Christine Nibagwire arrived in the UK in 1998 as an asylum seeker, then founded ‘Saferefugerwanda’ in 2001 to help refugees and survivors of the genocide rebuild their lives. Rob and Paul Forkan - who tragically lost their parents in the 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami created Gandys, a new ‘brand for good’, which sells flip flops in over 400 stores in the UK and globally and devotes 10% of its profits to helping orphans in Sri Lanka and India. All of these young people have facilitated sustainable change through education both in their own communities and by integrating into a wider global environment. The GIN conference is a wonderful venue for students to learn about these projects, to discuss, create and develop ideas, and most importantly to take action. As Gandhi reminded us, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’. I am extremely appreciative of all the work that Mrs. Valérie Isbecque and her team undertake in order to make the conference happen and of all the schools who support the GIN network. Nelson Mandela proclaimed that ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’ and we should all grasp this opportunity to learn, collaborate, reflect and use our education to facilitate sustainable change. So I wish you an enjoyable, thought-provoking and productive few days and I look forward to meeting many of you at the conference.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one.” - Adapted from The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) Page: 5 Conference Schedule Day 1 - Thursday, 23rd March 2017 08.00 - 09.30 Registration – Lobby Orientation and collection of conference folders and badges 09.30 - 10.30 Plenary Meeting 1 Auditorium—C1 Welcome & Logistics Local Guest Speakers 10.30 - 10.45 Break Lobby 10.45 - 12.00 Plenary Meeting 2 Auditorium—C1 10.45 - 11.15 Feedback from GIN schools on 2016 action plans 11.15 - 12:00 Speaker: Andy Cunningham / Aga Khan Foundation 12.00 - 12.45 Lunch Lobby 12.45 - 13.30 Presentations - Session 1 (See list and locations on pages 17-19) Choice 1___________________ Choice 2___________________ Please make 2 choices, in order of preference, for each of the presentation sessions.

  • Relocation Country Guide: ITALY
    Relocation Country Guide: ITALY September 2017 Relocation and International Assignment Trends and Practices Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City. The country is renowned for its arts and cultural treasures, as well as beautiful landscapes and world-leading cuisine. It is becoming a more frequent destination for assignees and the high quality of life there, means it is a popular destination for expatriates. Input from Cartus Global Supply Chain and our Destination Services Providers on the ground in Italy points to several key areas of importance to the expat community. Of primary importance is looking for a rental property, finding a school, transportation, language, cultural issues and climate. These areas are all addressed, with best practice recommendations, to help guide relocation managers as they consider policies for their assignees. September 2017 Relocation Country Guide: ITALY RENTAL MARKET As rental properties are not typically viewed as investments, landlords tend not to devote time to maintaining them. Assignees should be made aware of this before a home search trip begins, as the standard of expatriate properties in Italy may be lower than elsewhere in Europe. The types of properties available – in terms of quality, size and price – depend considerably on the area in which the assignee is relocating. In more rural areas, prices may be lower, but so is availability. Whereas, there is more choice in major cities like Rome and Milan, but prices are higher. Although, in general, properties in Rome are of a lower quality than they are in other cities and there are also less fully furnished options in the capital.

  • Julius Von Schlosser, the Vienna School of the History of Art - Review of a Century of Austrian Scholarship in German1
    Julius von Schlosser, The Vienna school of the history of art - review of a century of Austrian scholarship in German1 Translated and edited by Karl Johns Members of the profession are immediately aware of what is meant with the expression ‘Vienna School:’ the center for art historical teaching, closely related to the Austrian ‘école des chartes’, organized by Theodor von Sickel, and today called the ‘II. Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universität Wien’ (‘second department of the history of art in the University of Vienna’) – a designation only ten years old and in no way expressive of chronology or quality, as only those completely ignorant of academic customs might require reminding. Austrian daily newspapers have especially recently published repeated reports that might lead to a complete misunderstanding of the situation. For this reason, and since many specialists are barely aware of the history of this respected ‘school’ which has produced so many distinguished scholars, we offer a brief sketch of its origins and development. It has been almost completely forgotten that it originated in the period of German Romanticism and that its nearly century-old history represents a considerable chapter in the history of German language scholarship and intellectual history in Austria. Josef Daniel Böhm and his Circle Its ‘prehistory’ in fact began with a very remarkable figure of the period before the Revolution of 1848: the medalist Josef Daniel Böhm († 1865), born 1794 in an old German language colony in the eastern Slovak Zips region, and a pupil of the well- known classicistic sculptor Franz Zauner, who is known so well to all Viennese by his equestrian portrait of the Emperor Joseph II that still stands in one of the unscathed beautiful city squares before the former Imperial Library.
