Podcasts about study tours

Angela Shelly, Director of MBA Global Programs at the Foster School of Business Global Business Center, talks about the ins and outs of their Global Business Study Tours. Angela breaks down how these two-week trips offer MBA students a hands-on look at international business environments, from the coffee farms in Costa Rica to villages in India, Israel to Portugal. We also touch on the prep work before these tours and the real-world impact on students' careers. If you've ever been curious about how travel can enhance a  business education, or how these experiences might shape future career paths, this is a great conversation.

“For God alone my soul in silence waits; from God comes my salvation” (Ps 62:1).   Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!  In today's episode we have a special guest, Karin Slabaugh, to speak about the person of Adele Costa Gnocchi, who she was, and her work that influenced both the Montessori world as well as the CGS world!   Karin Slabaugh has worked with the youngest children for over 30 years. She has lived in Oregon, Washington and California and most recently in Italy, but if you ask her where she is from she will give you the same answer Maria Montessori gave, “I am a citizen of a star called Earth.” After moving to Italy she focused on working with newborns and their moms and is now offering courses and workshops and Montessori tours in Rome.    After earning a master's degree in Education and an AMI diploma for birth to three, she experimented with two age groups: 3-18 months and 18-36 months. However, she was not totally satisfied with her results and sought to understand why. In 2010 Karin traveled to Rome to look for some answers and found Grazia Honegger Fresco, a student from the first class of the Montessori Assistants to Infancy School begun in 1947. This is how Karin began to research the archives of Adele Costa Gnocchi's Assistants to Infancy School and the Montessori Birth Center, and realized that Adele Costa Gnocchi was one of Montessori's most important students. Costa Gnocchi not only attended the very first course in 1909, but assisted Montessori with the courses in 1910, 1911, 1912 and the first International course in 1913, and many courses after these first ones. She was one Montessori selected to teach the 1939 course in Rome (alongside Maria Antonietta Paolin) that awarded diplomas with Montessori's signature, when she was not able to come back to Rome herself because of having left for India and being detained during WWII).     Karin has now come to realize that the newborn child is no different. When a newborn's basic needs are met, she is at peace in the environment where she finds life to be so interesting, and her caregivers to be present and available. Karin shares her knowledge with the world through a non profit project called Montessori-For-Life.org and with a course she created with Ruth Ehrhardt, a certified Professional midwife. The Basic Needs of Babies course is an adult prepared environment, offering a chance to explore what everyone's Basic Needs are and how it feels when they are met.     Karin also works as a guide for Montessori Tours and Travel offering Montessori Study Tours about birth to three and Montessori history in Italy. In October of 2023 and June of 2024, she will be taking people through Rome to discover the rich environment where Montessori, Costa Gnocchi and Honegger Fresco lived and worked. You can sign up for one of the Study Tours or the Basic Needs of Babies course if you are interested to learn more from Karin.  https://www.montessori-4-life.org/the-basic-needs-of-babies.html (Montessori For Life non-profit website - course description)    https://montessori-for-life1.teachable.com/ (Basic Needs of Babies course)  The Child in the Church by Maria Montessori  A Year with Sofia Cavalletti  AUDIO VERSION of The Religious Potential of the Child by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz.  CGSUSA has created a Premium Podcast Channel for this audiobook through Podbean.  The cost is $29.00 and does include the audio version of all chapters of The Religious Potential of the Child, 3rd Edition all read by Rebekah Rojcewicz.  We have provided both video overview instructions and written instructions on accessing this audiobook.  Please use these resources.

In this episode Mark Ratcliffe, Director of Mark Ratcliffe Moving and Self Store discusses how he started in the industry after relocating from Nelson, Lancashire to Eastbourne, East Sussex in 1982, where after collecting scrap metal and clearing rubbish in an old truck he saw an advert in the local newspaper and got a job as a removal man at Edwins of Eastbourne, where he learnt his craft, from Bernie. Today, Mark owns Mark Ratcliffe Moving & Self Store which has been trading for 6 years now, but Mark is probably more well known for his previous companies, The Small Moving Company and more so A1 Worldwide Movers which he sold in 2006. We discover that Mark has recently opened a Self-Storage facility (2 warehouses opposite each other) and finds this a better storage solution than containerised, which he was heavily involved with back in the mid 90's, as Mark feels furniture should be stored in carpeted (very popular in Scandinavian countries) and temperature controlled rooms. We discuss that after selling A1 Worldwide Movers, Mark took a sabbatical from the industry and went travelling to Thailand. It was during his travelling that he discovered a lot of expats were relocating, and as a result Mark now specialises in overseas moving to Thailand. We discover Morris, Mark's vintage 1963 Morris LD, which he found in a field full of scrap metal behind a steel container facility in Bournemouth where he was delivering goods in 2019. After negotiating a price of a mere £1,000 it was soon transported to UVB (Unique Van Bodies) in Warrington where 18 months later it was collected and will hopefully be seen at local events soon, and at The Movers & Storers Show later this year. We discuss Your Moving Group and The Moving Group Academy that Mark is involved with. Your Moving Group was setup 5 years ago with Andy Pearson (of Family Movers), which started life as You Move Group that was predominantly a van rental service (which Mark confesses together they got their marketing completely wrong, and it failed miserably). Today Your Moving Group is a membership-based group with 14 members at the time of recording. The Moving Group Academy is the fundamental and educational side of the industry, which Mark would like to see run along the lines of the old TMI (The Movers Institute). We discover that Mark has faced many challenges, not being cash rich, BAR membership and taking 5 years to secure an archive storage contract of 4.7m files. And although Mark Ratcliffe Moving & Self Store is currently not a BAR member it is something Mark wants to change in the very near future, “watch this space”. We discuss that the one thing Mark would like to change from his moving past was to have had more of a balance of life and to have not committed himself 100% to his work and industry. We discover Mark's high point of being in the industry was BAR membership at A1 Worldwide Movers in 1995, which Mark sees as the pinnacle of being a mover with standards and service. And Mark recites a lovely story of driving to BAR Services to buy ‘everything' on the day his application was finally approved, he even took an old BAR Perspex badge which he stood proudly outside of his shop the following day! We discuss the one thing Mark would change within the industry would be to bring movers closer together and believes Study Tours are a great way of achieving this. We discover that Mark's advice to a younger self would be to grow slowly and steadily, do not get too big too quick. We discuss that in the next 5 years although Mark has no succession plan in place, maybe one of the staff would take over the business, but a proposition has been made and accepted to a company overseas. Industry wise Mark believes the industry will be really good, movers will be able to sell far superior services than in the past and command better prices. We discover that outside of the industry Mark loves music and travelling. And as always we end Moving Matters with not 1, not 2, but 3 funny moving stories, one with Big Tom ending up in a customer's fish pond, another concerning an urgent removal to store from a standard 16 bedroom house, and Mark's first International move which turned out to be a complete disaster!

Swinburne's IT for Social Impact India Project students 'imagineer' technologies such as drones as a way of creating a passion for IT in remote schools and villages in India. The term 'imagineering' was coined by Alcoa; the giant US lightweight metals and advanced manufacturing company. Time Magazine in 1942 described Alcoa’s view of what the term entailed: Imagineering is letting your imagination soar, and then engineering it down to earth. In more recent times, the term was re-conceptualised by Disney's R&D and theme park designers. The Swinburne IT for Social Impact India Project has adopted the term as it perfectly describes what our students do with technology. This presentation will explore the use of a drone as an applied teaching tool for IT for social impact study tour student participants.

Join in the conversation! Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to ask us questions about English conversation and meet other English language learners all over the world. Twitter: @LPLEDialogFM Facebook: facebook.com/LPLEDialogFM TRANSCRIPT Intro [Jesse]: Hi everyone. My name is Jesse Robbins, and welcome to LPLE from Dialogue FM. We're the podcast that lets you practice listening in English. We speak English slowly and clearly so that you can follow along and understand native English speakers more easily. I'm excited to help you improve your English listening skills, as well as help you learn new vocabulary, grammar, and idioms commonly heard and conversation among native English speakers. If you want to practice listening in English, then we invite you to join our conversation. Andrew: Last night, my girlfriend and I went to dinner and a movie, and we went to eat at an Indian style restaurant. And, at this restaurant they serve tea Indian style, which they called chai, and they're very nice about making sure that you always have a full cup, so I love going there. But, while we were eating, it made me think about all of the different ways that coffee and tea are served in different cultures and places in the world. I take my Indian tea hot with milk and sugar so it's sweet and creamy, and I've always had it that way. My girlfriend asked me at dinner why I like drinking tea with milk and sugar when I like drinking my coffee black without any milk and without any extra sweetness in it. And, she's right; I like my coffee bitter but hot, and I like my tea creamy and sweet. But, there's actually a lot of different ways to take coffee or to take tea and it varies by custom. When I'm in Vietnam, for example, or eating at a Vietnamese restaurant even in the United States, they serve Vietnamese coffee, which means a different kind of coffee; it's brewed stronger they brew it into the glass that you're going to drink it directly, and they pour it over condensed milk, so again it is creamy and sweet, and usually you serve it with ice, so it's actually cold. So, I like coffee and both of these cases. But, in my morning routine when I am having breakfast and getting ready for the day, the kind of coffee I want is black and bitter, and I only want coffee Vietnamese-style when it is served at a Vietnamese restaurant with a Vietnamese meal or when I'm visiting the country directly. And, I think that's true of most people, so I wanted to ask you how you take your coffee and how you like to drink at another places. Jesse: That's a really good question. Let me just say that on rare occasion will I ever drink drip pour coffee straight black. So, if I go to Starbucks and I ordered a tall drip [coffee], I will always put a little bit of half-and-half [milk] and one package of sugar--raw sugar, the thick, brown granulated sugar. Andrew: This is raw sugar, but it's not molasses sugar, right? This is just... Jesse: Right, it comes in that brown package, I think, it's called Sugar In The Raw. I can't remember the name. Andrew: Right. This is a form of unrefined white sugar. Jesse: Right. Whenever I have drip coffee, it's always with that small combination; a little bit of cream or milk and a little bit of sugar--just the right taste. When I'm in Vietnam, it's always iced coffee with condensed milk. On rare occasion if I'm in someplace cold like Da Lat or in the winter time, then I'll remove the ice; then you could take it just straight drip coffee with condensed milk, hot. Generally speaking, when I'm at a Vietnamese restaurant here in Seattle, it's always the iced...Vietnamese iced coffee. In fact, that Vietnamese iced coffee is very popular among non-Vietnamese, because they know it is very, very strong right. One of my favorite memories with coffee and tea was when I was in India. So, remember, back in the MBA program at the University of Washington, we had Study Tours, right? Andrew: I went to Brazil and you went to India, yes? Jesse: No, well you went to Brazil and I led China...I co-lead China. Right before, in our first year I went to India as a participant. And, in India, by luck, I was going to be in India during the time that one of my friends was getting married--one of my Indian friends was getting married. Andrew: You got to go to an Indian wedding? Jesse: I got to go to a traditional Sikh wedding. So, when we think of Indian weddings we think of the big parties, very, very elaborate. And, I'm sure he had that, but, from what I remember and what I understand, this was a wedding that took place over a few days and the Sikh part of it, this one was more religious, a religious ceremony at his house. Smaller, intimate; close friends and family. Andrew: How many people, about?... Jesse: I want to say about 50 to 70 people there. Andrew: That's the "small" version?...[hahaha] Jesse: And then, after that, there was a wonderful banquet afterwards in his backyard. And, I remember one of the wait staff coming around with a big jar of chai tea. Andrew: This is served hot with milk? Jesse: Hot with milk, correct. He'll give you a clay--a very, very rough feeling, very rough clay cup. A small cup. A very, very small cup. If you think of that Chinese tea cups that you get at a Chinese restaurant--about that size, if not smaller. And then, he'll pour it, and then you just sip it. Unlike my natural tendency to shoot it as if it were an alcoholic shot, use just casually sip on it. And, mind you, it is a very hot day, so you're not trying to consume a lot of hot liquid at one time. That was delicious; I made sure to find him again multiple times during my visit to my friend's house to get more of that chai tea. Very, very good! Andrew: Excellent. I think it's funny, the different ways we expect to receive our drinks depending on where we are and our circumstances. Even in the United States, the way people drink tea is different by custom. In Seattle, here, we're usually drinking tea as a substitute for coffee because we have a strong coffee culture. Jesse: Right. Andrew: And, so, we take our tea hot in water and maybe with sugar. And, that's different from, for example, how it is taken in the United Kingdom or in Britain, where the expectation is that tea is served hot with milk, for example. Or, even in the south or the southern part of the United States where tea is served as a refreshing drink in the hot summers where it's almost always iced tea and it's very, very, very sweet. So, they add lots and lots of sugar. And, if you asked for tea in, for example, Georgia in the middle of the summer and you're expecting to get a hot chai or chamomile, potentially served with a little bit of sweet, you would be very disappointed to receive this, this cold beverage, instead. Jesse: That's right. You raise an interesting point. For example, you go to--let's say you are an Indian native from India. You come over, you come to Georgia, you're invited to someone's house. And, someone asks, "would you like some tea?" And, in your mind, you have one definition of the word "tea." You--when you think of tea, you think of it based on your culture and the context of your culture, based on your experience with tea from your native country. And then, when you're served, chances are it's cold and in a big glass with lots of sugar and a slice of lime. Andrew: Right. Think about how disappointed you would be, right? Jesse: Absolutely. One of the interesting coffee-tea combinations here in Seattle that I really enjoy and that I also want to recommend is 'matcha latte.' Andrew: 'Matcha latte.' What goes into a matcha latte? Jesse: "Matcha" is Japanese-style green tea. That takes care of the 'tea' side, right? And then, 'latte' is your standard form, your regular espresso-style drink. Andrew: Regular in Seattle. So, that is pressure-brewed coffee, very strong, mixed with hot steamed milk. Jesse: Right, exactly. Andrew: And then, so, matcha co-... matcha latte?... Jesse: Yes. Andrew: A matcha latte, if I'm understanding right, is tea instead of the coffee? Or is it tea plus coffee and the steamed milk? Jesse: Tea plus coffee--... matcha green tea powder mixed in with an actual latte with the caffeine. That's my understanding. Andrew: OK. So it has both. You're getting a little bit of both sides at the same time. Jesse: Yes. And the matcha latte comes out green. So, for anyone unfamiliar with drinking anything that has a green color to it, I think people who drink matcha latte for the first time are a little scared. Andrew: Right. Of the color... Jesse: Of the color, right. However, when you drink it, it's--... it's absolutely delicious. A little sweet. It has the green tea flavor and yet has the warm texture and feel of a latte. Overall, I highly recommend it. There's a few places in Seattle that serve matcha latte. Andrew: Is this a Starbucks option or do you have to go somewhere locally? Jesse: No. You have to go to a small café. The café I like to go to is called Panama Cafe. Panama Cafe is in the International District in Seattle, and there, that's the only place I know right now that has matcha latte. Now, before, a few years ago, Starbucks used to sell--and I still think that they do sometimes, maybe during the summer--Starbucks sells a matcha Frappuccino, and that came from Japan. I remember--... I remember--this is going to sound very hipster--I remember drinking matcha Frappuccino in Japan before it was ever introduced to the American Starbucks. Andrew: ...And then you came back and they brought it to the stores in Seattle. Jesse: Yes. I think they brought it back from me. I don't know. Andrew: [hahaha] But you like them. The Frappuccino is a sweet--... Almost like a sweet milkshake kind of drink, right? Jesse: Yes. Coffee milkshake, yeah. Andrew: ...With whipped cream on top? Jesse: Yes. Andrew: And, so they added the matcha power to that, as well. Jesse: Yes. So it's green. It's very green. It's tastes delicious. I highly recommend it. If you're ever in Japan or here in Seattle during the summer, I recommend you try it. Andrew: I'll have to try the matcha latte or matcha Frappuccino soon. Jesse: Great.
