This is about the total experience – amazing locations, magnificent accommodations, incredible food, good friends and the opportunity to create some of the best photographs of your lifetime with the help of award-winning photographer, author Elizabeth Etienne (see her biography below). This will be a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hurry reservations are limited.
This is an all-inclusive, 11-day workshop in Seggiano, Italy (Tuscany) that includes:
• ACCOMMODATIONS: (shared apartment suites on a magnificent 13th century estate)
• MEALS: (excluding lunch when away from base location. See Cuisine details below)

LOCATIONS: The main base for the workshop will be a magnificent, historic estate residence dating back to the 13th century! The estate, once a working olive mill is located in a small, hilltop village in Tuscany approx 30 min from Sienna and about 90 min from Florence. During shooting days we will venture to various picturesque locations. For images of the main base location see bottom or go to: www.lecasacce.net/index_uk.htm
ACCOMMODATIONS: The apartment-like guest suites are located in the various farmhouses dotted around the Estate, amidst the olive trees and meadows. The layouts of the apartment –like suites vary from 1-4 bedrooms. Larger apartments have 2 bathrooms. You will be randomly assigned an apartment suite on a first-come-first-serve basis. We will pair people together based on age and gender unless you request to be roommates with a specific friend. The suites are VERY charming—decorated in the rustically elegant Tuscan style, splendidly furnished with antiques and equipped with a fireplace, chairs and couches, dining table, independent heating, satellite TV, mini frig, sink and dishwasher and spectacular panoramic views – many even with private terraces! (I promise you will never want to leave). For more details and images of each unit go to the website and click on the apartments link: www.lecasacce.net/uk/appartamenti.htm
CUISINE: The food during this trip will be amazing! The chef at Le Casacce is a true master (and a real character!). He enjoys greeting each guest and explaining what’s in each course and how it was made. Everything is made from scratch from products grown locally if not directly from the estate. Wine, cappuccino and bottle water is not included and can be purchased a la carte at Le Casacce or in town at shop and brought in. During photo excursions lunch is not included. You will be permitted to purchase your own lunch from one of the local restaurants or bakeries. Suggested meal expense approx 25euro pr excursion.
TRANSPORTATION: We have arranged a 35-passenger air-conditioned bus. We will be sharing this bus and traveling to various destinations with participants from another workshop (for plein-air painters). This should permit a fun eclectic group to mingle amongst.
WORKSHOP SYNOPSIS: The workshop is open to ALL LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHERS but limited to no more than 15 students. This will create an intimate setting and permit the instructor to give individual attention to each participant as needed. 2-3 out of the 11 days will be spent resting on location, editing images or meeting for a late afternoon demo someplace on the grounds of the estate. The “shoot, rest, dine, mingle” atmosphere is intended for people to get to know one another in the group, bond over a glass of wine during dinner and share a few laughs.
BEFORE THE WORKSHOP students will be given an extensive information kit. This kit will include the instructor’s recommendations for a choice of photo equipment and supplies and other important technical information and a suggestion to review and test your equipment before you arrive. They will also be given a questionnaire to enable the instructor to determine their skill level before the workshop. At this time the instructor may offer to schedule a brief telephone meeting or suggest your considering a private coaching session(s) at a special discounted rate. The information kit also includes detailed travel information including: airline flight recommendations, currency converting, attire, insurance, emergency medical, cel phones, contact phone numbers, internet, language, culture and other useful tips useful to prepare and help your trip run smoothly.
AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORKSHOP will be a casual “meet and greet” orientation demo. During this time students will be given the workshop information kit that includes suggested shoot assignments. Students will be encouraged to shoot a bit of everything during the course of the workshop. This may include: landscape, architecture, people (both candid journalistic style and editorial posed portraits), food, cuisine, and other details that encompass Italian life.
DURING THE WORKSHOP each shoot day the instructor will focus on a different topic. Students will learn about light, composition, directing, timing and their gear. There is also rumor to be a few surprise shoot destinations and subject matter arranged to “WOW” the group (and test their spontaneous shoot skills . . . Ha! Ha!). Upon arrival at each destination students will be encouraged to meander and explore the areas with their cameras, shoot and then break for lunch. After lunch there will be either additional demonstrations or a chance to continue shooting or editing their images before departure at the end of the afternoon.
AT THE END OF THE WORKSHOP there may be an optional group image presentation. Students will be encouraged to share 10-20 of their favorite images in a fun-loving atmosphere. This will be the time to relax, enjoy your hard work, share a glass of vino and bid your farewells before departing for the airport the next morning. At the end of the presentation the instructor will give a brief demo on how to create a beautiful hardbound presentation book with your images and the suggestion of a few companies that can print and bind the books. You will also be given a special farewell gift bag rumored to have some great goodies inside….

In May 2014, Inclusive Security—in partnership with UNDP’s N-Peace Network—led an advocacy and mobilization workshop in Thailand for 19 women from Indonesia, Myanmar, and Nepal. The workshop, customized for women involved in peace processes, prepared the participants to organize and train others to advocate for women’s inclusion. Each country delegation was represented by diverse women from a variety of sectors, including members of Myanmar’s parliament, Nepalese police officers, and Indonesian leaders working to bridge the divide between Muslims and Christians. Upon their return home, the UNDP Country Office will support participants to implement their high-impact advocacy plans to advance inclusion in their countries.

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

Scenes from the morning commute in Jakarta, Indonesia.
UN Women has established partnership with TransJakarta, a government owned transportation provider in Jakarta. Through this partnership a number of activities will be conducted including training on gender based violence (GBV) prevention and handling for bus operators, and raising awareness on GBV prevention in public transportation through campaign activities.
The “Piloting Safe and Inclusive Cities for Women and Girls in Jakarta” (Safe Jakarta) project, is developed with the understanding that in Indonesia, like in many other countries, violence and the fear of violence often play a role in hindering women's rights to the city. There is very little data available about the city from a gender perspective and women's experiences in Indonesia as strong evidence to design comprehensive approach in addressing violence against women from city governance perspective. The Safe Jakarta Project is attempting to respond to this concern, drawing lessons and good practices shared by UN Women Safe Cities Global Programme. The Global Programme was geared towards assessing the impact of safe city initiatives. It is also envisioned that the programme will generate support for the notion that comprehensive safe cities strategies help advance women’s rights and gender equality across a wider spectrum of socio-economic domains.
The project started in 2015 by consultation with the government of Jakarta and Ministry of Women’s Empowerment who are very supportive. The overall aim that we would like to achieve is making Jakarta a modern city that is safer and more inclusive for women and girls, where public space and infrastructures are free from threats of violence so that women could have better access to education and economic sources. At the end, it will contribute to making better lives for women and girls and the entire population of Jakarta.

This greeting was embedded in an e-mail I got yesterday. It features Christmas (in four languages), Kwanzaa, and Hanukkah. That's nice. But consider what's missing. Whatever happened to the Amaterasu celebration? What about the Beiwe Festival? Where is Brumalia, Chawmos, the Deygan Festival, the Dōngzhì Festival, Goru, Hogmanay, Inti Raymi, Junkanoo, Karachun, Koleda, Lá an Dreoilín, Lenæa, Lohri, Makara Sankranti, Maruaroa o Takurua, Midvinterblót, Midwinter, Modranicht, Mummer's Day, the Perchta ritual, the Rozhanitsa Feast, Sanghamitta Day, the Saturnalia, Şewy Yelda, Sol Invictus, Soyal, We Tripantu, Zagmuk, and Ziemassvētki? To say nothing of Yule! And for the love of Mother Earth, what about the Solstice?
