I was struck by the remarkable work created by Prateek Arora. We Present explores how he uses Midjourney, an AI image generation tool, to imagine new Indian sci-fi stories and even new (disturbing) family portraits. His work primarily explores the role of technology in contemporary Indian society. Some of the family portraits remind me of the Butcher Boys, a sculpture made by South African artist Jane Alexander that stayed with me since I first saw it in the South African National Gallery.
My notes on use Synthesia. May be helpful to fellow facilitators, trainers and workshop designers interested in how to use emergent and generative AI in their work.
A interesting site full of science endorsed solutions which will lead to a just transition for our World to a sustainable and equitable future presented by scientists across Europe.
Radical acceptance about the reality of our sustainability and environmental challenges is important. So, I believe, is hope.
Ahead of December’s Cop15 conference, writers at The Guardian have selected titles that explain the issues at stake, from animal extinction to marine degradation and loss of habitat.
It’s normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed by climate change, says psychologist Renée Lertzman. Can we turn those feelings into something productive?

“We care about our people.” Really? So why do so many companies fail to simply acknowledge receipt of job applications, and send out an automated response when the position is filled?
Interesting for my facilitation work, work with groups, and in helping people think about climate and environmental disruption. The Work that Reconnects helps people discover and experience their innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action.
Historian Dan Snow gets down and dirty the filthy cities of revolutionary Paris, medieval London, and industrial New York. No, not ancient, but interesting nonetheless!
