Global Learning in Agriculture Conference

1/16/2021

0 Comments

 
The GLAG21 Conference is less than a month away...  Don't miss out on its many offerings -- including GLAGJr's focus on secondary student and 4-Hers described below.  

In 2021, GLAGjr includes the following features:

1. Six Virtual Global Agriculture Learning Modules
Using Articulate 360 as our primary platform, this year’s GLAGjr program will feature 6 interactive modules that will allow students to connect with classrooms from across the globe. These modules include:

Fundamental Modules:
·       What is Food Security?
·       What is Global Competency?
·       What are the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals?

Grand Challenges/Wicked Issues Modules:
·       Water Management (SDG 6)
·       Partnerships for Peace (SDG 16)

Thematic Module:
·       Taking Action

2. Opportunity for Students to earn Digital Badges
A new feature of GLAGjr, students are now able to earn up to 6 digital badges by completing GLAGjr modules. Students will be able to display these badges on future resumes and portfolios.  There is a minimum number of badges each team needs to earn to submit for the local grant funding (described in #3).

3. Grant Funding to turn Modules into Moments
Sponsored in part by our friends at Corteva Agriscience, our GLAGjr Grant Program sponsors youth agricultural groups with grants of $500 to translate their learning through modules into impactful community moments. These grants directly go towards groups who will plan and complete a project that will increase global competency in their local in the year 2021.  Each registered GLAG21 educator can have 1 group submit and participate in a pitch process! Each group that submits must document completion of 15 different digital badges from the GLAGjr curriculum

4. GTAN Program Support
From the program launch date on February 18th until June 1st, the Global Teach Ag Interns will provide program support and coaching for educators. Our team is here to support you in any way we can be successful with your learners as they explore global issues in food, fiber, and natural resources 

GLAGjr Registration will close on Wednesday, February 17th at 11:59 P.M. EST. Programming will start with modules being released to all GLAGjr educators on Thursday, February 18th.

So, First, make sure you are registered for 
#GLAG21

Second, sign-up for GLAGjr!

​We're starting 2021 with a special feature in the Ragged Edge poetry series.  

Join us on Friday, January 8 at 7:00pm for an open mic followed by Voices of Woodlawn featuring Patrick Washington, Diane Wilbon Parks, Sylvia Dianne Beverly (Ladi Di), and Hiram Larew with Clifford Bernier on the harmonica. (Zoom link below.)


Four poets spent a day at the historic Woodlawn Plantation Estate in Fairfax, Virginia in 2019 and wrote about the largely unknown enslaved community that lived there. The resulting powerful poetry and artwork has been presented throughout the Washington, D.C. area.  
 
Clifford Bernier’s The Silent Art won the 2010 Gival Press PoetryAward. He appears on harmonica in the Accumulated Dust world music series.  
 
Diane Wilbon Parks is a poet, visual artist, and author. One of her poems and artwork has been installed as a permanent sign at the Patuxent Research Refuge - North Tractin Laurel, Maryland.  
 
Sylvia Dianne Beverly (Ladi Di) is an internationally acclaimed poet, presenting poetry In Brixton, London, England, at the Lewisham Theater. Her most recent honor is Prince George’s County Poet of Excellence 2020.  
 
Hiram Larew’s poems have appeared widely and have been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes. His Poetry X Hunger initiative is bringing poets from around the world to the anti-hunger cause.   
 
Patrick Washington was forged in Washington D.C.’s vibrant U Street Arts community of the 1990’s, and as part of several dynamic ensembles over the years, is known for moving seamlessly between classic styles of poetry and hip-hop. He will begin 2021 serving as Poetry Director for Words Beats & Life, Inc.,as well as running the Youth Poet Laureate Program for the DMV region.


As usual, we will begin with an open mic and then proceed to the Voices of Woodlawn.  If you wish to read, bring one poem and when you sign in, leave your name in the chat.

Gifts and Glow -- A December Gathering of Poets from Ireland

12/13/2020

A note from Hiram Larew:

​"For those who, for whatever reason, weren't able to zoom in (and apologies for any snafus with the live link), here's the link to the video recording of the 90 minute session.  Feel free to share the link as a gift to friends, relatives and pets.

https://youtu.be/uKBFsnonYbc

The wonder of Poets from Ireland!  In this program, you'll hear work of 13 fine, fine poets who deserve to be known well beyond the Emerald Isle.  We hope you enjoy their work and voices as we begin to celebrate the end-of-year Holidays.

A special thanks to Nicholas Brown and his team at Prince George's County Memorial Library System (in Maryland, USA) for all of the technical and promotional backstop including production of this recording.  And, hats off as well to the Prince George's County Arts and Humanities Council and Solas Nua for their co-sponsorship.  We also appreciated help from the Washington, DC-based Folger Shakespeare Library's Poetry Program."

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

11/17/2020

0 Comments

 
Below is some information about last week's Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week  by St. John's Community Services:

Homelessness can happen to anyone at any age. Many people live one paycheck or one life event away from losing everything. Can you find it in your heart to help the vulnerable individuals and families affected by homelessness?

Your gift today can ensure men, women, and children experiencing homelessness have a safe place to shelter and food to eat. Any amount will help, but $25 will provide five meals for someone in need, $75 will provide a week's worth of groceries for an individual in our Oasis program, or a gift of $100 will ensure an individual experiencing homelessness will have a safe place to sleep in our shelter.
