Founder of the Learning Cosmos André Hedlund explores the growing challenges of maintaining attention spans in the age of digital distractions. André dives into the impact of screen time, executive functions' role in learning, and how going back to basics can foster focus and resilience in our classrooms.Watch the episode with closed captions.KEY TALKING POINTSDigital Overload:André highlights how delegating human interaction to devices has contributed to declining IQ levels for the first time in recorded history. He explains why educators must rethink the role of technology in teaching to align with how the brain processes information.Executive Functions:André explains the importance of training the brain's "operational control centre'‘ through situations that challenge students' impulse control, emotional regulation, and focus. He emphasises how avoiding frustration deprives learners of opportunities to develop these critical skills.The Dopamine Dilemma:André dives into the neuroscience behind dopamine and how easily accessible digital rewards disrupt the brain's balance. He advocates for finding healthier ways to engage students without relying on instant gratification.Back to Basics:From play-based learning to fostering genuine human connections, André urges educators to revisit traditional methods that prioritise interaction, exploration, and meaningful experiences over digital dependence.ABOUTAndré Hedlund is a Chevening (pronounced as evening) Alumnus, MSc Psychology of Education - University of Bristol, Educational Consultant, Speaker, Author, and Guest Lecturer on Bilingualism and Cognition in Postgraduate courses.

In the fourth episode of the 4 Es series, Julia is joined by Sunita, whose experience spans across continents in the field of renewable energy. Leading in different contexts has taught her how to combine seemingly opposite ideas and the one she holds closest is her ability to balance humility with assertiveness. Every new context offers and opportunity to unlearn and re-learn, she say, for the pace, the language and the mode of working may change. This is where humility is necessary. At the same time, it is important to be confident and assertive when it comes to your subject matter. Sunita offers a range of tools and phrases she keeps handy when working with the various kinds of energy one encounters when leading a team. How can you learn to be empathetic but also have clear boundaries? How do you learn to run a successful and healthy team in vastly different context?About the Guest: Sunita Dubey is the Country Representative for the GEAPP in Vietnam and leads battery energy storage system work in the region. She has 25+ years of combined experience in the energy sector in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. She has double master's in environmental science and energy policy and is a Chevening fellow.

President Macky Sall of Senegal is facing mounting pressure after the decision to postpone the scheduled 25 February presidential election to December. The opposition says the move is a “constitutional coup” but the president says more time is needed to resolve a dispute over who is eligible to stand as a presidential candidate after several opposition contenders were barred. Last week, three people were killed and hundreds arrested in protests against the delay of the election. Senegal has long been seen as one of the most stable democracies in West Africa. It is the only country in mainland West Africa that has never had a military coup. It has had three largely peaceful handovers of power and never delayed a presidential election. But is that about to change? And what will the consequences of any political, social and economic turmoil for a country with a young population? Shaun Ley is joined by a panel of experts:Borso Tall - Freelance journalist based in the Senegalese capital Dakar, recipient of the Chevening scholar with The University of Glasgow and member of The International Women's Media Foundation.Paul Melly - Consulting fellow for the international affairs think tank Chatham House and a journalist specialising on development, politics and business issues in francophone Africa.

This weeks episode is the recording of a panel discussion on Ukrainian organiations access to international funding. The discussion was held on 14 March 2023 with the title: Small fish in a big pond: Ukrainian organisations' (lack of) access to international funding. The panel is a co-production by HERE Geneva and Trumanitairan.Val Hambye-Verbrugghen from HERE-Geneva moderated the discussion between the three panellists:Yuliia Chykolba the co-host of the Trumanitarian podcast series on Ukraine. Yuliia was born in Dnipro, Ukraine and first became involved with humanitarian action when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. And has since then worked with humanitarian mine action in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. Yulia is a Chevening scholar and an alumna of the Department of War studies from King's College London. Marco Rotelli, who is the former UN deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, although Marco is speaking in his personal capacity at today's event. Prior to this role in Ukraine, Marco served as representative for Africa of the global NGO network ICVA, and in operations with NGOs and the UN in most of the major humanitarian crises since the early 2000s. Robert Serry, who is the former first ambassador of the Netherlands to Ukraine, and chairman of the foundation opendoorukraine.nl, who are currently actively involved in humanitarian early reconstruction activities in Ukraine. He has past experience in international crisis management, and sorry, is an international crisis management expert who has served in senior positions both with with NATO and the UN.The panel explored the following questions:1. What has been your experience of Ukrainian NGOs benefiting from the promptness and generosity of the international funding response? What have been enablers or obstacles to their access to funding? To what extent are the rules and bureaucracy in place at the international level suited to fund informal/volunteer initiatives?2. What needs to be done to ensure a better connection between traditional agencies' efforts and those of local volunteer groups in this crisis?3. How has the funding volume impacted the relationship between national and local NGOs and international actors? How complementary are they?4. An additional cut of the funding has gone to support States that neighbour Ukraine: what are the perceptions around this by different actors (local and national NGOs on either side of the border, coordination mechanisms, contributors to appeals such as those mentioned above)?5. Is there a moral obligation to stop collecting funds in scenarios such as these, where the amount raised is enormous?

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss is disputing a £12,000 bill relating to her use of the Chevening country house in Kent. This bill covers her use of Chevening house during 2022, when she was foreign secretary and preparing to be leader of the Conservative Party. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says the rules are clear about what can be claimed back by those who had access to Chevening and Truss is being billed for costs incurred when she was running for office.

With the rapid de-escalation of the cost of solar PV technologies, and the conversations surrounding climate change, coupled with research suggesting climate change will indeed have an adverse impact on the flow, hydrology, and therefore, the overall electricity generation output of Nepali rivers, discussions about the uptake of other-than-hydro renewables have started to pick up momentum. To further complement Nepal's renewable energy potential, by 2030, Nepal has set an ambitious target to expand clean energy generation from approximately 1,400 MW to 15,000 MW, of which 5-10% (70 MW to 1500 MW) will be generated from mini and micro-hydro power, solar, wind and bio-energy. Of this, 5,000 MW is an unconditional target. The remainder is dependent upon the provision of funding by the international community. By 2030, ensure 15% of the total energy demand is supplied from clean energy sources. In today's episode, PEI's Saurab Lama sits with Anjal Niraula, the Chief Executive Officer of Gham Power, a renewable-energy-focused social enterprise based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Anjal is an off-grid solar expert, and he oversees Gham Power's R&D and product strategy – including business development, design, and engineering. His focus is on developing solar microgrids along with productive end-use loads. Anjal was a Chevening scholar at the University of Edinburgh where he studied Energy Systems. He is also a member of the Future Energy Leaders group with the World Energy Council where he works on the Energy Access task force. Saurab and Anjal discuss Nepal's solar industry and its feasibility in Nepal, where Anjal makes a case for a higher uptake of solar electricity within a hydroelectricity-dominated electricity sector. The two discuss the global solar uptake patterns and why Nepal's uptake has not followed similar trends and Nepal's own set renewable energy targets set through its Nationally Determined Contributions. They also discuss some important policy-level issues, including the role of governmental institutions, and the private sector, and evaluate their performance in promoting renewable energy sources. They end the discussion with some technical solutions, including the importance of battery technology and some recommendations for the future of solar energy within the country.

There are many ways to continue your studies, and if you are smart enough, there is this thing called scholarship. We heard the stories a million times, but did we really listen? Well, this podcast will bring you the adventure of these two Chevening scholars making their way alive and well for the whole 365 days in the heart of London. A year later, they completed their journey of 20% student-80% traveler (you read this right) as a proud owner of MA in Critical Media Studies from SOAS and an LLM from Queen Mary University of London. They will definitely hate me for my bragging for them, and that is okay. This is one of that useful conversation and the link is in bio.

En este quinto episodio tenemos el agrado de estar con Leandro Guardia, Ingeniero de software, fue becario en University of Bristol con el programa de becas Chevening que es justamente de la beca de la cual hablaremos el día de hoy, además de compartirnos consejos sobre como presentarnos para postular a una beca en el exterior. ¡No te olvides seguirnos en todas nuestras redes sociales para más contenido! - Página Web: https://tubecabolivia.com - Facebook: https://bit.ly/3ebA3O9 - YouTube: https://bit.ly/3EmTNZW

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) –  in 2019,  reports showed that 38.2 million children under the age of 5 years were estimated to be overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. In Africa, the number of overweight children under 5 has increased by nearly 24% since 2000.  What makes this worse is the fact that most African countries have this mindset that being overweight has been associated with richness, health, strength, and fertility, whereas in the Western world, the slim body size is widely idealized. So children and teens with obesity are considered nourished and nice hence their obesity is less diagnosed. Today, we have with us Dr. Judwin Ndzo to share her experience as a pediatrician who deals with cases of child obesity on a daily basis. This episode is focused on the causes of child obesity, myths surrounding child obesity, and preventive measures we can put in place to ensure our children don't become obese. We also discussed the impact obesity has on children's mental health. I hope you learn and pick some key points from this episode – remember to share this episode and the lessons learned with your circles.   Meet Our Guest : Dr. Ndzo is a UK-based pediatrician who is passionate about helping children grow, thrive, and achieve their maximal potential in life. Early in her career, after graduating from the University of Buea, Cameroon, she worked at Solidarity Clinic in Buea, where she developed a passion for managing children. Her interest in nutrition led her to her job with MSF Swiss and later the French Red Cross in Garoua-boulaï, Eastern Cameroon where she worked in a refugee camp for almost 2 years, looking after malnourished kids. Following this, she won a Chevening scholarship to study for a master's in Public Health Nutrition at the University of Southampton, UK. The following year, she decided to start her residency in Paediatrics and became a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in 2021. She is keen to mentor and help other young Cameroonians pursue their career goals.  When not working, she enjoys traveling, working out, hiking, cooking, socializing, and hanging out with friends!   Contact Our Guest: Instagram: @aliehjudwin Linkedin:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/judwin-ndzo-16317b70   Things You Will Learn in This Episode:  [00:01 – 03:00] Introduction Getting to know our guest [03:00 – 15:00] Understanding Childhood Obesity What is childhood obesity? Understanding BMI & Growth Charts Obesity in Africa & risk factors Demographical data on obesity The impact of obesity on children's health [15:00 – 30:00] Mental Health of Obese Children & Myths of Obesity Mental health issues children face due to obesity The effects of bullying on obese children Myths surrounding obesity in Africa  The importance of eating healthy diets [30:00 – 42:00] Advise, Recommendations & Ways Out of Obesity Prioritizing breastfeeding and proper weaning Practice exercising and healthy meal habits in the family Advice to the teens facing obesity The importance of being sensitive when addressing obesity Being a good example and positive role model for our children Importance of family therapy and creating safe spaces for discussions around obesity [42:00 – 46:55] Final Words Dr. Ndzo's final words Anyoh's final words   Quotes “Yes, the most important thing is that babies eventually have food. But it's important to talk about the importance of breastfeeding. So we know that babies who are bottle-fed are much more likely to develop obesity in the future and alongside diabetes and or whatnot.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see children with diabetes, with hypertension, with low self-esteem, all those things. It really bothers me to see obese children suffer such health problems, especially at such a young age and I think we need to start with the adults, we are we need to be role models to our children. Let's have healthy families because healthy families would lead to healthier communities.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see a lot of Cameroonian men who are obese and some of them don't even realize that until they get diagnosed maybe with hypertension and diabetes, and then they start making an effort to want to lose weight. So I think we need to start by looking at our own selves as adults. We cannot be telling a child, you're obese and things when yourself you've not started with yourself.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “So do that BMI test, look at a BMI chart, calculate your BMI, you can literally do it at home, measure your child's height and measure your child's weight. I think anything over 25 is overweight and then obese or morbidly obese. So if your child is falling within that range, then have an honest conversation with them. And you don't necessarily have to be condescending, but just try to see things that you can start by changing in the household. And also having that conversation with them.” – Anyoh Fombad   LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

Reverse-engineering his imagined past, Israeli author Yaniv Iczkovits follows his characters across the Pale of Settlement. The Slaughterman's Daughter, finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. With her reputation as a vilde chaya (wild animal), Fanny Keismann isn't like the other women in her shtetl in the Pale of Settlement—certainly not her obedient and anxiety-ridden sister, Mende, whose “philosopher” of a husband, Zvi-Meir, has run off to Minsk, abandoning her and their two children. As a young girl, Fanny felt an inexorable pull toward her father's profession of ritual slaughterer and, under his reluctant guidance, became a master with a knife. And though she long ago gave up that unsuitable profession—she's now the wife of a cheesemaker and a mother of five—Fanny still keeps the knife tied to her right leg. Which might come in handy when, heedless of the dangers facing a Jewish woman traveling alone in czarist Russia, she sets off to track down Zvi-Meir and bring him home, with the help of the mute and mysterious ferryman Zizek Breshov, an ex-soldier with his own sensational past. Yaniv Iczkovits spins a family drama into a far-reaching comedy of errors that will pit the czar's army against the Russian secret police and threaten the very foundations of the Russian Empire. The Slaughterman's Daughter is a rollicking and unforgettable work of fiction. Yaniv Iczkovits, born in 1975, is an award-winning author and screen writer. He has published four novels and one novella, and is now working on developing TV content based on his novels for Keshet and KI, Yes Studios, Endemol Shine and more.

“İngiltere, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Türkiye gibi bazı ülkeler, Afganistan'dan gelecek öğrencilere her yıl verdikleri burs programlarını 2021 yılı için iptal ediyor. ‘İlk başta Chevening İngiltere Yüksek Lisans bursu da iptal edilmişti fakat bir sosyal medya ve imza kampanyasıyla karar geri alındı. Şu an ben mesela Fulbright (Amerika) mülakatımı bekliyordum ve diğer birçok Afganistanlı arkadaşlarımı, normalde Eylül'de olması gereken mülakatlarla ilgili bir bilgi hala gelmedi.' Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı da 2021 burs programından Afgan öğrencileri çıkarmış. Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu ise Afgan öğrenciler için burs programı oluşturmak isteyen bazı üniversitelere beklemeleri talimatını iletmiş. Resmi açıklama yok. Kurumlardan duyumlar ise Taliban'ı işaret ediyor. Türkiye ve başka hükümetler Taliban ile anlaşmış olabilir mi? Özellikle kadın öğrenci ve akademisyenler için hayati öneme sahip burslar kesildiğinde insani sorunlar katlanarak artacak.”

Hoa hi vọng rằng những câu chuyện mà Phú kể trong phần trước về những vị trí công việc của cậu bạn đã phần nào giúp các bạn có góc nhìn thực tế hơn về công việc trong ngành Y tế công cộng hay Y học dự phòng. Những vị trí Phú làm đương nhiên cũng chỉ là một góc nhỏ, một ví dụ nhỏ về các khả năng công việc trong ngành thôi, ngoài ra sẽ có nhiều cơ hội nghề nghiệp khác còn mở cho các bạn khám phá. Gặp lại nhau ở phần 3 của podcast, chúng mình sẽ được nghe thêm những câu chuyện bên lề của ngành học và công việc của Phú, từ hành trình chinh phục học bổng Chevening, dự định học tập và công việc tương lai sau khi kết thúc chương trình học ở Đại học Nottingham, đến những nhận định về sự phát triển của ngành Y tế công cộng và gợi ý các hướng đi cho các bạn trong ngành. Đây chắc chắn sẽ là những thông tin hữu ích khác để cho các bạn cái nhìn rộng hơn về ngành học nên chúng mình cùng ngồi lại để cùng nghiền ngẫm phần 3 của podcast nào.

Ở phần một khách mời Phan Triệu Phú đã giúp chúng mình giải đáp thắc mắc về sự giống và kháu nhau giữa Y đa khoa, Y học dự phòng và Y tế công cộng, cấu trúc chương trình học Bác sĩ Y học dự phòng như thế nào. Ở cuối podcast, Phú cũng nêu quan điểm của mình về việc tham gia các hội nghị nghiên cứu ở bậc Đại học, đưa ra những tips cần lưu ý khi muốn tham gia các hội nghị. Chính những kinh nghiệm tham gia hội nghị này đã mở ra cho Phú nhiều cơ hội mới. Đúng vậy, hững kinh nghiệm nghiên cứu, báo cáo nghiên cứu tại các hội thảo, v.v. đã giúp Phú sớm nhận được thư mời cho vị trí công việc đầu tiên từ rất sớm, trước cả khi tốt nghiệp Đại học. Vậy công việc đầu tiên đó đã dạy Phú những bài học gì và định hướng hướng đi của Phú ở công việc kế tiếp, hiện tại và tương lai như thế nào? Nghiên cứu trong Y học dự phòng yêu cầu các kỹ năng làm việc như thế nào? Tất cả những câu hỏi còn bỏ dở trong lòng chúng mình khi phần 1 của tập podcast kết thúc sẽ được trả lời trong phần 2 này nhé.

Trước khi gặp gỡ khách mời của tập podcast lần này, Hoa sẽ giới thiệu một chút về cậu bạn này và lý do mà Hoa quen cậu bạn này nhé. Khách mời của chúng mình là một chàng trai đến từ Bình Định với cái tên khá kêu Phan Triệu Phú. Phú là một Chevener, năm ngoái là một trong 20 đại diện của VN đạt học bổng chính phủ Anh danh giá Chevening để theo học Thạc sĩ Y tế công cộng (Public Health) tại trường Đại học Nottingham. Hoa quen Phú cũng khoảng 5 năm trước, khi Phú còn là sinh viên tại trường Đại học Y dược Huế và là tình nguyện viên tích cực của Tổ chức phẫu thuật Nụ cười Operation Smile Việt Nam, còn Hoa lúc đó còn đang làm Điều phối viên tại Tổ chức. Ấn tượng của Hoa về cậu bạn này là một người rất nhiệt tình, năng nổ, hỗ trợ cho các chương trình của OS rất nhiều khi chúng mình về Huế làm chương trình. Biết Phú từ lúc đó và quá trình công việc của Phú đến khi giành được học bổng Chevening, Hoa thực sự khâm phục về những nỗ lực của cậu bạn nền quyết định gửi lời mời đến Phú để chia sẻ trên sóng podcast Unlock Your Career về ngành học ít người biết đến: Y học dự phòng và Y tế công cộng. Khi thế giới trải qua nhiều biến động trong dịch Covid, chúng mình có thể thấy Y học dự phòng và Y tế công cộng có tầm quan trọng thế nào, và Hoa tin rằng thời gian tới đây ngành sẽ nhận được nhiều sự quan tâm hơn và có nhiều phát triển trong tương lai. Các bạn có tò mò muốn tìm hiểu thêm về ngành học này không? Ở tập podcast này chúng mình sẽ cùng khám phá Y học dự phòng và Y tế công cộng qua lăng kính góc nhìn của Phú, một cậu bạn rất tâm huyết với ngành này nhé. Giờ thì cùng Hoa gặp gỡ khách mời của chúng mình nào.BS.

Outline why you have selected your chosen three university courses, and explain how this relates to your previous academic or professional experience and your plans for the future. Please do not duplicate the information you have entered on the work experience and education section of this form Strengths: A clear focus on study outcomes with evidence of research at the institution and course level. Having distinct paragraphs discussing their courses. Weaknesses: Not specifying their chosen universities or demonstrate an awareness of key details from within their fields. Applying for three very diverse course subjects did not inspire confidence in their research into courses and were frequently unable to give clear and coherent reasons for these choices. Cut-and-paste from university promotional material rather than real engagement with subject or course detail.

Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer-term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country. Strengths: Outline of specific, concrete goals, which usually, therefore, seemed more convincing and achievable. Weaknesses: Applicants did not give a strong rationale, which made a potential clear career path unconvincing. Many applicants illustrated a desire to do a PhD in the post-study section. This is ambitious and realistic but wasn't always a convincing career goal on its own. List reasons why you want to pursue research work and how it plays a part in their longer-term ambitions. Career plans were too often poorly developed and it was not possible to discern how a Chevening Scholarship would be of benefit.

Chevening uses independent Reading Committees to assess all eligible applications and these are some of the mistakes they noted in the networking essay Chevening is looking for individuals with strong professional relationship-building skills, who will engage with the Chevening community and influence and lead others in their chosen profession. Please explain how you build and maintain relationships in a professional capacity, using clear examples of how you currently do this and outline how you hope to use these skills in the future. Link to Youtube Video I mention in teh podcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73jTnJzP7jw&t=4s Strengths: Strong applicants use specific examples of their own networks, describing unique and diverse ways of maintaining networks, and discussed how they facilitate networking. Weaknesses: Could clearly evidence networking skills but few expanded on this. Merely joining a social media network is not the strongest example of relationship-building skills; go to specific detail on how and why creating and joining these networks had proved beneficial. Not connecting their networking with clear examples of using them at work - directly and indirectly with colleagues Not expanding how these relationships would help the individual in the future. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cynthiakimola/support

In this episode, I share with you what the reading committee that reviews the Chevening Scholarship essays- looks for in your LEADERSHIP ESSAY! The question usually is: Chevening is looking for individuals who will be future leaders or influencers in their home countries. Explain how you meet this requirement, using clear examples of your own leadership and influencing skills to support your answer. STRENGTHS OF THE BEST ESSAYS: Demonstrated clear examples of leadership and influencing with concrete results. MISTAKES CANDIDATES MAKE ON THEIR LEADERSHIP ESSAY Don't combine successful leadership qualities with evidence. Not giving recent or current professional leadership examples Assuming their position or role was in itself demonstrates leadership skills. The most common error - define leadership rather than provide examples of their traits General recommendations: Use the STAR (situation, task, action, result) approach when writing teh essays. Avoid “we” and “team” in this answer and place greater emphasis on their individual contribution, to achieve a higher score.
