Teacher’s Day was celebrated in a very novel manner this time. Udgam School and Zebar School joined hands to make the day perfect for the ‘gurus’, the givers of knowledge.
The day was the perfect blend of learning and fun. Teachers were welcomed to a learning session which had two parts. The stage was set with the Directors, Mr. Manan Choksi, Ms. Radhika Iyer and Ms. Pratima Patell occupying the dais.
The first part was a presentation on ‘Comparison between a Good Teacher and an Ordinary Teacher’ made by the Vice Principals of respective sections of the schools, pre-primary, primary, middle and secondary. The session led to a good amount of soul searching and ‘eureka’ moments among the teachers.
The next part was a topic that is often ignored, ‘Positive Discipline – an alternative to punishment’ presented by the Executive Director, Mr. Manan Choksi. He spoke at length about the need to rethink the past and present model and replace it with positive disciplining which focusses on self discipline rather than imposed.
Next came the fun part which was a Djambey session in which all the teachers joined in with great enthusiasm, beating the drums to their heart’s content while following the lively rhythms. It was a great opportunity of bonding and living it up on a day made specially for them.
No good occasion is complete without food. So if learning and fun come, can food be behind? A sumptuous spread was awaiting the happy and tired teachers who talked and laughed while enjoying the delicious food.
The joint venture on the part of the school management and the HR team worked wonderfully to make the day a memorable one for the teachers.

The African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) has created a new national chapter in Kenya to bolster advocacy around key issues affecting women and girls in a strategic and innovative manner.
Kenya joins 20 other countries to launch a national chapter in line with continental commitment’s for gender equality and women’s empowerment, an initiative spearheaded by the African Union (AU), the Federal Republic of Germany and UN Women. The network is an action-oriented movement of African women leaders to transform sustainable peace, security and development issues in the continent.
The event was attended by a cross-section of civil society organisations, development partners, and Government of Kenya representatives including the Ministry of Public Service and Gender (MPSYG) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MPSYG Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Margaret Kobia welcomed the Kenyan chapter’s creation as an accelerator for women’s rights:
“The launch [will] enjoin women leaders in the country to the women leaders’ platform in Africa for transformative change at both country and regional level; and in particular, inform and create urgency towards securing Generation Equality. If we do not do this now, it will take close to 200 years to achieve equality.”
The launch is timely as global development conversations begin to converge on gender. 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action for advancing women’s rights, the 20th Anniversary of UNSCR1325 as well as the five-year milestone for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Against this backdrop, AWLN will focus efforts on priorities at the heart of the women’s empowerment movement. This means extending beyond leadership issues and navigating the country’s efforts in combating gender-based violence, promoting the role of women in conflict prevention, resolution and peacebuilding and securing economic empowerment.

Kehinde Wiley
Oil on canvas
Ship of Fools marks a shift in Wiley’s attention to seascapes and in particular to the collection of works he made for an exhibition at Stephen Friedman Gallery in London in 2017. Each of the seascapes is based on a work in a public collection, reinterpreting, for example, Winslow Homer and JMW Turner, with the white figures in the original paintings replaced by black figures. For Wiley, these figures represent migrants who have set sail in search of better lives. Ship of Fools is the centrepiece of this collection of works. The starting point for the picture is Hieronymus Bosch’s Ship of Fools (1490-1500), now in the Louvre. But while Bosch’s painting is critical of its subjects, Wiley’s raises questions about the risk migrants take to improve their chances of happiness. Royal Museums Greenwich has an important collection of marine paintings and offers a rich context for Ship of Fools. The picture is a post-colonial comment on the genre, questioning many of the assumptions about the glory of imperial might as portrayed in historic holdings. It is the first marine painting by a known black artist to enter the collection and the first work by Wiley to enter a public collection in the UK.

Kehinde Wiley at the National Gallery: The Prelude
(December 2021 – April 2022)
Kehinde Wiley is an American artist best known for his portraits that render people of colour in the traditional settings of Old Master paintings. Most famously, in 2017, he was commissioned to paint Barack Obama, becoming the first Black artist to paint an official portrait of a president of the United States. His work makes reference to the canon of European portraiture by positioning contemporary Black sitters, from a range of ethnic and social backgrounds, in the poses of the original historical, religious or mythological figures. His images – as part quotation, part intervention – raise questions about power, privilege, identity, and above all highlight the absence or relegation of Black figures within European art.
In this exhibition, Wiley will shift his focus from one European tradition - Grand Manner portraiture – to another – landscape painting.
Through new artworks, including film and painting, Wiley will look at European Romanticism and its focus on epic scenes of oceans and mountains, building relationships with our collection of historical landscapes and seascapes by Turner, Claude, Vernet and Friedrich.
Like his work before, this new work will look back at Old Masters as a way to create new connections and raise fresh questions.

Note the use of Pro-Europe Euro-cone images.
Euro-cones have two reflective bands. UK cones have a single wide band.
The unregulated influx of Euro-cones was the reason people voted for the UK to leave the European Union. Fact.
We, as a nation, should accept all cones of all reflective band types.

St Mary's Abbey, Melrose is a partly ruined monastery of the Cistercian order in Melrose, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders. It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks on the request of King David I of Scotland, and was the chief house of that order in the country until the Reformation. It was headed by the Abbot or Commendator of Melrose. Today the abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland.
The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in the Gothic manner, and in the form of a St. John's cross. A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins. A structure dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. A lead container believed to hold the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce was found in 1921 below the Chapter House site; it was found again in a 1998 excavation. This was documented in records of his death. The rest of his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey.
The abbey is known for its many carved decorative details, including likenesses of saints, dragons, gargoyles and plants. On one of the abbey's stairways is an inscription by John Morow, a master mason, which says, Be halde to ye hende ("Keep in mind, the end, your salvation"). This has become the motto of the town of Melrose.
museumPASSmusees 2023 - Mima - Local Heroes
Local Heroes combines, in the manner of the ancient Greek gymnasium, exercises of the body and the mind. For 4 months, MIMA is a temple of boxing and arts interacting with the visitor.
Local Heroes is a reinterpretation of the ancient Greek gymnasium: a place dedicated to the education of youth in the values of the city through sport and the arts. In this logic, the spaces in the exhibition are reserved either for the practice of boxing or for the celebration of local athletes. The whole is enhanced by artistic interventions born from the meeting between creators and boxers. Posters, photographs, videos and wall paintings are the favourite mediums in the aesthetics of boxing.
The choice of boxing is based on a historical, social and cultural reason. Firstly, the ancestor of boxing, pugilism, was widely practiced in gymnasiums throughout antiquity. Secondly, the boxing community sociologically reflects the youth of the Brussels city centre. Finally, compared to other sports, it is a major source of inspiration for the arts.
Check the daily sports program at the museum throughout the exhibition.
And exceptional events and nocturnes.
