Science communication for social inclusion: exploring science & art approaches
No full textInternational audienceEngaging communities at risk of social exclusion poses a big challenge for science communicators. We schematize a framework for projects using science & art to promote social inclusion, composed of 3 phases-design, plan and collaboration; implementation; and evaluation. We present a case study that aimed to engage with a community of migrant senior women, mostly illiterate. Our findings suggest high engagement was achieved by building trust, involving emotions, choosing a relatable topic and following participatory practices. Inclusive activities occurred on the short-term, but for medium-term impact, community insiders need to be regarded as a second audience

No full textUNDP first published the Human Development Report in 1990 in collaboration with economist Mehboob Haque, who is credited as the promoter of the VKP Index. The most important aspects of the CPI index are longevity, healthy living, educational attainment and quality of life, among others. Political independence, human rights testimony and self-respect are the various elements. That is. 1) Life expectancy at birth. 2) Level of education. (Rate of adult education, rate of primary, secondary, higher education) 3) The standard of living. (Lack of per capita based on NAC) The VKP index is averaged based on the maximum and minimum values of these three elements. According to the report, India was ranked 126th in the CPI index in 2006. In 2008, Maxine Olson, India's Representative to India, and Motek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, published the Human Development Report in Delhi, which ranked India 128th and 619th. Compared to 2006, India has slipped two places. The National Human Development Report is published by the Government of India with the assistance of the Planning Commission. The Human Development Report was published in 2001. The Planning Commission, while preparing the National Human Development Report, relied on new indicators different from the NPC's VP indicators
Thoughts on the Economic Life of the Tathagata Buddha
No full textInternational audienceThe economic system is the cornerstone of social development. Its economic system has remained at the root of the progressive development of human civilization. A country, society or caste; Social, political and cultural upliftment is mainly based on the progress of its economic resources and facilities. In a country without these facilities, human society cannot develop its civilization and culture. Meaning has a special place in human life. That is why even now and in the past, meaning is sometimes considered indirectly more important than religion. Gautama Buddha was the first to know this weakness of human nature. While stating that the root of all sorrows is desire, Gautama Buddha has also included materialism in desire. In his first sermon to the Panchaparivrajakas after attaining enlightenment at Sarnath, the Buddha says that there are two poles of human life. The first is the life of luxury and the second is the life of physical suffering. One says eat and drink and have fun because tomorrow we will all die, another says put an end to lust because lust is the reason for rebirth. The Buddha rejected both ways of life because, according to him, both ways are unsuitable for human life. He believed in the middle way. This moderate path is neither for physical suffering nor for pleasure. The Buddha says, 'O Parivrajakas, understand that you should never imitate these two poles of life. Attempts to attain contentment through objects whose attraction is the desire for Kama Yoga are a despicable endeavor. They are unskilled. They are harmful. There is a way of life between these two poles, it is the middle way. I am a preacher of this middle way. The destruction of sorrow is the sole purpose of this Dhamma. 'This is the first Dhamma of Tathagata. Social misery is created out of a sense of superiority and inferiority. There are two extremes in the society: exploiter and exploited, rich and poor. Sorrow is created as soon as their ego of superiority is shaken. People who are stamped with inferiority complex are stuck in inferiority complex. So if the society wants to be happy, it is necessary to follow the middle way of life. Gautama Buddha conveys the message of 'equality' from the point of view of middle life, "Nekechi manussa settha na kechi manussa hina" that is, no man is superior or inferior. The beauty of human life is hidden in the Buddha's vision of equality
जागतिकीकरण आणि दलित समाज
No full textIt is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. If the aim is to develop the country's agriculture, industry, and services, then India's dream of economic well-being will not take long to come true. But if this free policy is to protect the welfare of a handful of people, it will have a far-reaching effect on the future of other people in the country. This will make the India-India conflict inevitable. Globalization is considered from the perspective of three important dimensions of time, distance, and value. That is why "globalization is a mixed concept and its impact is far-reaching." This is not surprising, but many psychological speculations have been made. The subject is fresh in politics, globalization is being used by the people of the world to achieve economic prosperity. On the one hand, it is blamed on the fact that it raises a lot of new questions.
ON THE EARLY STAGE of TEACHING MUSIC TO LESS GIFTED CHILDREN
No full textThe present work covers the topic of the early stage of teaching less musically gifted children. The work is rooted in the principles of inclusiveness in music education and is based on an extensive pedagogical experience of the author throughout a prolonged teaching career in a music school for children. The success in teaching less musically gifted children depends critically on the choice of pedagogical approaches by the teacher, on the teacher's attitude toward a child, and on creativity and flexibility adopted by the teacher. Several practical rules-based on the author's teaching experience and on pedagogical literature-are described as guidance to teachers working with less musically gifted children. The connection between music education and overall child development is also discussed. Music education is a stimulating cognitive exercise which plays an important role in overall cognitive development of a child. Musical education can stimulate not only intellectual development, improve general educational performance, but also yield improved physical condition. Musical education, therefore, is closely connected to the most valuable aspects of life
