World Education Forum 2015
19-22 May 2015, Incheon, Republic of Korea
Equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for all by 2030.
Transforming lives through education
Education is one of the most wide-reaching and beneficial development investments. Yet the optimism that characterized early progress – build more schools and they will come – has not reached the poorest children, those living in conflict situations, refugees, internally displaced people, or children facing discrimination based on location, gender, disability or ethnic minority status. This thematic debate will focus on the major challenges and opportunities to inform a robust inclusive social agenda. The objective is to convene an evidence-based debate on equity in education; equip policy and decision-makers with tools to advocate for equity and inclusion; and encourage governments to identify and target resources for the groups being left furthest behind. The session is organized around two moderated panel discussions combining speakers from various fields including Ministers of Education, UN representatives, economists, academics and civil society organizations.

First I crocheted the design in red, then I went back and outlined the flowers in black using single crochet.
The unpaid fares collection box at Chorleywood statioin, Hertfordshire - rusty, vandalized and abandoned. 22nd April 2010.
Took me seven minutes to take the perfect picture.
It's my clan's sign in my fraternity-S for Sparks.
Today was about patience, optimism, and never giving up.
And that's what my fraternity/clan/family is like; optimistic, patient, and hard working.
'Radio loud, radio low,
Or I can sing, if you want me to, baby.'
She looks at her iPhone as it buzzes and frowns at the text on the screen. It wasn't going to be today, then. It might be tomorrow. She wasn't going to give in just yet; she was going to keep trying.
'I can tell God's smiling down,
I just get that feeling,
You and me going town to town,
On two lanes of freedom.'
She gets up and goes outside; standing in the warm Spring sun with the cool wind makes her want to stay there. Her hair sweeps out behind her as the breeze picks up. She holds up her phone and Instagrams a picture-awesome weather & Spring break, so no homework or anything to worry about.
'Oh, no red lights or stop signs around for miles,
Just swaying trees,
Your hair in the breeze,
And that smile,
And I know,
God made old country roads,
For driving and dreaming.'
Lyrics: Tim McGraw: Two Lanes of Freedom
Jenny Scott - Optimism
I kind of confused Optimism with Positivism, two different things, but to me they have the same ring to it. I was in doubt how to put this into a photo. A glass half full came to mind but when I saw this man writing down his poem on the Dublin streets, I knew this was my shot.
This photo is part of my project called Words. Check out my set Photo Project - Words to see all photos of this project.

Although this flower has yet to open it has not stopped this bumble bee looking for nectar or pollen!
An agreeable house of the postwar years at Diss, Norfolk. In a perfect world there'd be a neighbouring town called Datt. An horizontally emphasized essay in squares and rectangles, and in the contrast between brick and timber. The poles supporting the porch are a nice touch and the chimney is good too. Not so sure about the Vent-Axia fan (probably an addition, to extract niffs from the toilet, or cooking fumes from the kitchen) and ...not that you can blame the owner... wheelie-bins are always unsightly.
