Roberto Samcam, mayor retirado del ejército de Nicaragua, crítico del gobierno de Daniel Ortega y figura de la oposición en el exilio, fue asesinado a tiros en las afueras de San José, Costa Rica. Medios y activistas nicaragüenses en el exilio sospechan que se trata de un nuevo caso de represión transfronteriza atribuible al régimen Ortega-Murillo. El crimen ha causado conmoción entre la comunidad nicaragüense exiliada, según advierte Jhoswel Antonio Martínez, presidente de la Asociación Intercultural de Derechos Humanos (ASIDEHU). Samcam, quien integró el antiguo Ejército Popular Sandinista antes de pasar a la disidencia, era codirector del Grupo Patriótico de Militares Retirados, un colectivo abiertamente crítico del gobierno de Managua. Desde 2018 vivía exiliado junto a su esposa en Costa Rica. Su asesinato, ocurrido este jueves, ha encendido las alarmas entre organizaciones de derechos humanos y comunidades exiliadas. Muchas miradas apuntan hacia el régimen nicaragüense, acusado de extender su política represiva más allá de sus fronteras. Jhoswel Antonio Martínez, también refugiado en Costa Rica, denuncia que no se trata de un caso aislado. Persecución a opositores nicaragüenses en Costa Rica "Existe una represión transfronteriza por parte del régimen de Nicaragua hacia opositores. Hay muchas personas, incluido yo mismo, que hemos recibido amenazas y persecución desde que estamos en Costa Rica. Estas acciones incluyen tomas de fotografías al salir de casa o del trabajo, y mensajes en redes sociales desde cuentas falsas o bots que dicen: 'sabemos dónde estás', 'sabemos lo que haces'. Son advertencias para que uno deje de denunciar públicamente las violaciones de derechos humanos. Se conocen al menos cinco casos de atentados contra opositores que habían reportado amenazas previas y que, como Samcam, no necesariamente tenían un perfil alto", señala Martínez. Comunidad nicaragüense en el exilio está muy afectada El impacto entre la diáspora nicaragüense es profundo, especialmente por la cercanía del asesinato de Samcam con el Día Mundial de las Personas Refugiadas, el 20 de junio. "Créeme que el impacto ha sido muy fuerte, tanto en la salud mental como en la percepción de seguridad. Este asesinato ocurre en torno a una de las fechas más sensibles para nosotros. Roberto Samcam era refugiado, tenía protección internacional. Su muerte nos afecta porque nos recuerda quiénes somos: personas que debimos huir. El temor se ha intensificado y hay riesgo real de que se desate una paranoia colectiva entre los opositores refugiados en Costa Rica", concluye Martínez.

In this episode, Lisa and Tara discuss:Navigating cultural, generational, and personal differences through intercultural competenceBuilding self-awareness as the foundation for meaningful cross-cultural understandingCreating opportunities for teens to develop global and human skills in everyday contextsConnecting intercultural experiences to long-term success in education, careers, and relationshipsKey Takeaways: Intercultural competence includes understanding one's cultural values and norms and using that awareness to interpret and empathize with others' differences, not just across nations but including neurodiversity, socioeconomic background, and generational gaps.Teens can gain intercultural skills without traveling abroad by participating in local experiences such as taking inclusive classes, hosting exchange students, or attending language immersion camps.Intercultural learning is most effective when combined with intentional reflection or mentorship to help teens make meaning from their experiences and apply the lessons in other contexts.Skills developed through intercultural experiences — like empathy, emotional intelligence, and flexibility — are increasingly valued by colleges and employers and can significantly enhance a teen's college application and workplace readiness. “Developing intercultural competence, a big piece of it is developing self-awareness — like, who am I? What groups am I a part of? How have those shaped my values, my thinking, my interests?” – Tara HarveyAbout Tara Harvey: Tara Harvey, Ph.D., is a highly regarded specialist in intercultural teaching and learning in higher education. In 2016, Tara founded True North Intercultural LLC to provide high-quality professional development to higher education faculty, staff, and institutions, helping them better navigate cultural differences and facilitate students' intercultural learning (at home and abroad).

Diversity, equity and inclusion are all Christian virtues, but they can be disguised as PCIE - Pressured Conformity, Inequity and Exclusion. That can happen easily inside or outside of the Church, but the Church cannot afford to conflate virtue with political pragmatism. The prophetic Church does the quiet work of diversity, equity and inclusion without press releases.On today's episode I have a conversation with Harold Gutierrez, who is from Langley BC where he works as the Intercultural and Indigenous Ministries director for the British Columbia and Yukon District of the PAOC. He has pastored in Florida, North Carolina and BC and currently working on a PhD. Today we want to talk about cross cultural communication, discipleship, pluralism and the ways that we can grow in working together across the cultural divides.

On this episode, the Bishop of Leicester, the Rt Revd Martyn Snow, is interviewed about his new booklet, Can We Imagine a Future Together? Intercultural lessons for living in love and faith, in which he attempts to chart a way forward for the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) process. Bishop Snow is the lead bishop on LLF. “The Church of England is in a season of discernment as it seeks a way to honour and accommodate differing theological and pastoral responses to Living in Love and Faith and to find a way to remain united despite sometimes profound disagreement,” the booklet's description says. “Martyn Snow offers further practical resources for this season of listening, prayer, patience and kindness. “Drawing on his experiences of working in the UK's most culturally diverse diocese to explore how best to live together well across difference, such that all church members — especially those who have been historically marginalised — flourish, he finds helpful models in the in the field of interculturalism and in the concept of gift exchange. These models are expressed in generous giving, radical receptivity and transformative thanksgiving — all of which can contribute positively to today's pressing questions.” Can We Imagine a Future Together? is published by Church House Publishing and is available to buy at https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/books/9781781405130/can-we-imagine-a-future-together.

Naples resident Joanne Huskey lived abroad for decades as part of a diplomatic family – her husband Jim was a U.S. Foreign Service officer for almost 30 years. And their time overseas intersected with some historic events: they were in China when the Tiananmen Square massacre happened in 1989; and they were in Nairobi, Kenya when the U.S. Embassy there was bombed in 1998. Throughout her time abroad, her efforts were always aimed at "Promoting intercultural understanding and education." She joins us to talk about her life promoting intercultural understanding and the need for more of it in today's world.
Each year, in recognition of the National Day of Mourning/Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, we examine how British colonialism is irrevocably intertwined with Shakespeare through close reading of Jyotsna Singh's Shakespeare and Postcolonial Theory. In this week's episode, we will explore how Shakespeare's plays can be interpreted and performed in a postcolonial society. This practice involves shifting our perceptions of Shakespeare's plays as timeless and universal to timely and particular, especially in the context of performance. We will discuss a few postcolonial readings and performances from both Western and Global Shakespeare scholars and practitioners. We will also explore how these specific productions prompt and answer the questions of: “Why this play?” and “Why now?” Who is producing this play? Who is on the stage playing these characters? What interpretive choices are being made? Where is this play being performed? These are all questions we invite all to ask as we apply this framework to our own scholarship and theatre practice. Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp. Music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander.
