The second public school of Partskhanakanevi, Georgia
Akaki Fertsuliani, a 19-year-old teacher at Partskhanakanevi public school in the village of Fartskhanakanevi in the Tskaltubo municipality, is one of those rare people who understands the technological pulse of the modern world and realises the need to adapt to new realities in the wake of progress.
Akaki was in the 12th grade and had already created several games, when Ilia State University, together with partner organisations, within the framework of the EU "Education for Employment" (Skills4Jobs) program, started the project, "Network of Youth Technology Clubs ". The project invited schools from eight regions in Georgia to provide students with knowledge in coding or technical entrepreneurship. As part of the project, the second public school of Partskhanakanevi decided to teach students Python.
Akaki has become a trainer at the technology club, as well as a programmer, a technology guide and a confident assistant.

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
For the last couple of months I've had a lot of trouble finding inspiration for my photography. I just haven't felt very creative. But tonight, as I watched my daughter practice her violin and saw the intensity and concentration on her face as she tried to make each note right, I knew I had to make a portrait of her.
The key light was a flash with 1/2 CTO gel through a 24 inch soft box, high camera left. I positioned a white reflector front camera right and used a gridded flash back camera right for a kicker. In post I added a modest 'S' curve adjustment and a vignette.

Feeling like the learning is slowing down.
Wondering when and where that next inflection point is going to appear.
Learning does not stop after school or university, it goes on and on. It´s important for formation of individual life and work opportunities.

I'm just not really satisfied with the colors and light, but oh well...
On a mild night during Siem Reap's monsoon season, the voices of 30 children chanting in unison cuts through the sound of cicadas. A single tube light powered by a car battery illuminates the faces of happy and focused children.
Crowded together on the concrete floor between the wooden poles that hold up a traditional Cambodian stilt house, the children – all aged between 8 and 9 years old – work together to learn the basics of the English language, the key to better career prospects in this impoverished community in Cambodia.
The classes are taught by a remarkable volunteer teacher who is a student herself. Hoy Tot is 18 years old and about to start Grade 11 at her high school, one of many supported by Plan Cambodia in Siem Reap. As someone who has experienced the challenges of living with a disability (she was born with one arm), Hoy Tot says she was inspired by her high school English classes and was motivated to share her new knowledge with other disadvantaged children from her community.
