While it's democratic to conduct activism and to exercise the right to protest, we should consider how these protests impact everyone. They can disrupt daily campus life and make it more challenging for students to focus on learning. Protests lasting a long time or becoming aggressive can make the campus tense and divided. Sadly, many students cannot attend their classes and lectures and access campus facilities; such scenarios aren't just causing inconvenience but also affecting the right to education and mental wellbeing. This situation reminds us to consider campus protests' long-term effects. It's a warning that focusing only on immediate concerns can be dangerous.

Short-term thinking can cause significant issues in society, like chaos and disruption. When decision-makers only consider short-term gains without considering the long-term effects, it can hurt society. This narrow approach prevents us from making intelligent, fair decisions.

These discussions should consider how our actions and decisions will affect everyone in the long run. This will help us build a peaceful, prosperous, and fair society. When we approach other scenarios, such as the campus protests and other complex issues, with an open mind and meaningful conversations, we can create a society where decisions are made with a long-sighted vision considering their long-term impact. #personaldevelopmentcoach #univeristies #colleges #growthmindset

Embracing the Freedom to Learn this Independence Day! Today, as we celebrate the independence that our nation fought so hard for, I find myself reflecting on the freedom that has shaped my own journey— the freedom to learn. As a Learning & Development professional, I've come to realize that true freedom lies in our ability to grow. It's the freedom to challenge old beliefs, to explore new perspectives, and to continuously evolve—both personally and professionally. For me, every day is an opportunity to learn something new, to push beyond the boundaries of what I know, and to help others do the same. This freedom has empowered me to take risks, try new things, and embrace change with an open mind. On this Independence Day, I’m grateful for the privilege to learn and to share that knowledge with others. I encourage everyone to use this freedom wisely—never stop learning, never stop growing, and always seek to empower others through education. Happy Independence Day to all! 🇮🇳 #IndependenceDay #FreedomToLearn #PersonalGrowth #LearningAndDevelopment #Gratitude

Throughout my life, I've often found myself in positions where standing up for what I believe in was not just a choice, but a necessity. Whether it was advocating for fairness in education or pushing for transparency in professional settings, the path hasn't always been easy, but it has always felt essential. In recent events, as I navigated the complexities of academic admissions, I was reminded once again of the importance of voicing concerns and striving for systemic change. It’s never just about one’s own journey; it's about paving a smoother, fairer path for those who will follow. Advocacy and resilience are not born from a desire for personal gain but from a vision of a world where equity is not just an ideal but a reality. Each challenge we face and speak up against is an opportunity to contribute to this larger goal. It's about creating legacies that outlast our immediate struggles. As I continue to advocate for what's right, I am reminded of the power of collective action and the importance of persistence. To those who stand at the crossroads of decision and action: your voice matters, your actions make a difference, and your courage can inspire waves of change. Let’s keep paving the way, not just for ourselves, but for future generations who deserve a world marked by fairness and opportunity. Together, we can craft a future that reflects our highest ideals. #Leadership #ChangeMakers #Advocacy #Education #Justice

Today, on August 1st, we remember a pivotal moment in India's history—the launch of the Non-Cooperation Movement by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920. This movement, rooted in the principles of nonviolent resistance and self-reliance, marked a significant stride in our nation's fight for independence. As teacher educators, this day holds profound relevance for us. Here are some key takeaways and reflections: 1. Embracing Nonviolence and Patience: Just as the Non-Cooperation Movement advocated for peaceful resistance, we can instill in our students the values of patience, empathy, and nonviolent communication. These skills are essential for creating a harmonious and inclusive learning environment. 2. Promoting Self-Reliance: The movement encouraged self-reliance, urging Indians to boycott British goods and use indigenous products. In today's context, we can foster a spirit of self-reliance in our students by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation. 3. Encouraging Civic Responsibility: Mahatma Gandhi's call for non-cooperation was also a call for active civic engagement. As educators, we can inspire our students to be responsible citizens, actively participating in their communities and contributing to societal betterment. 4. Relevance in Modern Education: The principles of the Non-Cooperation Movement resonate with contemporary educational goals, such as promoting sustainable practices, encouraging local entrepreneurship, and supporting inclusive education policies. 5. Building Resilience: The movement teaches us the power of collective resilience and perseverance. In the face of challenges, both in education and beyond, we can draw strength from this historical example to motivate ourselves and our students to strive for excellence. Let's take a moment today to reflect on these lessons and think about how we can incorporate them into our teaching practices. By doing so, we honor the legacy of the Non-Cooperation Movement and contribute to the development of conscientious, empowered future leaders. #NonCooperationMovement #MahatmaGandhi #TeacherEducation #Empowerment #SelfReliance #NonViolence #CivicResponsibility #EducationForAll #HistoricalLessons #August1st #IndependenceMovement

Meet our Speaker: Bayo Akomolafe We are thrilled to welcome Bayo Akomolafe for an Activist Classroom that promises to stretch our ability to radically reimagine. Specific worlding events at large now suggest that the human is no longer the exclusive, independent subject we once thought we were. We must now contend with a world that exceeds us, a material world with intelligence and agency. How do we meet this world? What does it mean to think about activism and change through the posthumanist constraints now seemingly forced upon us? In this talk, Dr. Bayo Akómoláfé examines his theory of postactivism and invites a reformulation of the notions of change sponsored by the dominant ideology of humanism. At the heart of his exploration is the curious insight: “The way we address the crisis is part of the crisis.” Register to attend this session at our learning festival To Register Visit: https://lnkd.in/erAnMANH #youthxyouth #learningfestival #yxyactivists #youthactivism #educationtransformation
