The annual CINIUU Conference is always something I look forward to. Not only an opportunity to share the work of the fabulous #SWC Confucius Hub team, but also to enjoy the company of our partners and learn together to develop further. Xié xie to the Ulster University Confucius Institute friends ❀️

Great to see intergenerational cooperation. There is a need for a lot more of these projects. Excellent for both older and younger participants emotional well-being as well too.

200 weeks of kindle reading πŸ“š. Rarely make a full week but the app a good companion when waiting in the car for the children’s sports activities to end, and to wind down before sleep πŸ₯±.

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

As the community migrates over, I thought I’d create a #furthereducation starter pack to help people connect with those who post about FE and skills practice and policy. Let me know if you’d like to be added πŸ‘‰ go.bsky.app/6ESkNFf #loveourcolleges

Hi! I’m new around here and wanted to say hello.

My name is Dan Wuori and I have dedicated my social media channels to helping explore the wonderment of early childhood development.

The NY Times wrote about this project back in March. I’d love to connect! www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/u...
