Dear Education Providers and Students, We are delighted to invite you to be one of the participants in the Model Global Parliament Program (MGP) 2024. A joint initiative of the World Citizens' Association of Australia (WCAA) and the Institute for Global Peace and Sustainable Governance (IGPSG), the MGP 2024 will be held in the Legislative Assembly Chamber of the NSW Parliament, 6 Macquarie Street, on Monday, 11 November 2024 from 8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Growing up in a digitally connected world, many students already think of themselves as global citizens. MGP 2024 will provide them with a platform to explore, together, which global issues need their attention and how they think a global parliament could formulate effective solutions and make a difference to global governance in the future. The theme this year is "Towards a Sustainable Future", inspired by ideas to be discussed in the UN Summit of the Future in September. At the Model Global Parliament, students will play the role of MPs in a democratically elected global parliament, empowered to seek solutions to global problems through a group representing either a geographical region or a global civil society organization. If you would like to participate as an MP (Member of Parliament) or as Speaker of the House, simply send us an email to join.mgp2024@gmail.com and fill in the form. More information is available on our website: https://lnkd.in/guEYxazK. Deadline for submissions is 5pm, Friday, 11 October 2024.

The news by Western Sydney University VC George Williams (“Debt until death”: VC slams fees as degrees hit $50,000) that the fee for a Humanities degree has been increased to $50,000 came to my attention. The statement that hints that “Arts degrees are often the degree of choice of low socio-economic status students, for indigenous people, and for women,” somehow denigrates the value and importance of the Humanities in comparison with other high-status courses. As an Arts student of long past, my Humanities subjects have given me invaluable lessons in critical thinking, and as an Historian, have taught me disciplinary knowledge, particularly in interpreting the complexities of history. I have been made fully aware of real-world problems of the past and their effects on our present and future lives. Humanities should not be a “last resort” degree. For me, Humanities is the nucleus by which we view the world, teaching us how it should play a part in making the world a better place for the global human family. The Australian government should do all it can to make Humanities a more affordable course and elevate its importance on par with other degrees.

Here's the second memorable experience -- staying at Koh Lanta, Krabi a beautiful island off the coast of Thailand reached by an hour's plane trip, followed by an hour's drive, a boat trip and another hour's drive to arrive at our destination. It was well worth it! https://lnkd.in/gMPJpvW8
