Mandela says goodbye

Funeral will follow an imagery-rich route each morning until Friday, allowing people to pay their respects.

The memorial to Nelson Mandela was held at the stadium where he made his last public appearance [AFP]
Family members and South African President Jacob Zuma were among the first to bid a final farewell to Nelson Mandela.
Graca Machel, Mandela's widow, and his ex-wife Winnie Mandela also paid their tearful respects at the State's Union Building.
South Africans have been queuing for hours for a chance to say goodbye to the man they affectionately call Madiba before he is laid to rest in his ancestral home of Qunu.
The funeral cortege of Nelson Mandela passed through the streets of Pretoria on Wednesday morning, and South Africa's first black president will now repeat the journey twice more, lying in state until Friday before being sent to his final resting place.
The procession, which will be repeated on Thursday and Friday mornings, passes the one-time home of Paul Kruger, who was the president of the Transvaal and lead a resistance movement against British rule during the first Anglo-Boer War, which began in 1880, and will pass the central prison where Mandela was jailed in 1962 for incitement and leaving the country illegally.


His conviction and subsequent life sentence marked the beginning of a 27-year jail stint, from which he finally emerged in 1990 as the structure of apartheid crumbled around its white minority supporters.
The funeral procession will be repeated for three days, ending each time at the Union Buildings - the seat of government where previous presidents had signed aspects of the apartheid system into law.
South Africans are being encouraged to line the route of the march, from the city's 1 Military Hospital to the Union Buildings where Mandela was sworn in as their president nearly 20 years ago.
Members of the public will then be given a chance to say their final, personal goodbyes to Mandela while he lies in state.
It is going to be a more sombre reflection on the life of Mandela than the celebration of the anti-apartheid freedom fighter that took place in the national stadium in Soweto on Tuesday.
The raucous crowd greeted speakers with a chorus of cheers, and in some in some cases boos, as they took to the stage to try to eulogise Mandela and express what he had done for the nation.
'Giant of history'
In his speech, Raul Castro, who earlier in the day shared a handshake with US President Barack Obama, quoted his brother Fidel Castro, former Cuba leader, and said, "Mandela will not go down in history for the 27 years he spent behind bars ... but because he was able to free his soul from the poison that such unjust punishment can cause."
Obama himself was greeted with cheers as he took to the stage, saying "It is hard to eulogise any man ... how much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation towards justice."
Current South African President Jacob Zuma, however, received boos and jeers, a reflection of the ongoing criticism of the nation's current leaders and their seeming inability to continue Mandela's legacy of justice and equality.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

 
- In December 1999, the 54th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 54/134 declaring November 25th the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The origins of November 25th go back to 1960, when the three Mirabal sisters from the Dominican Republic were violently assassinated for their political activism. The sisters, known as the "Unforgettable Butterflies", became a symbol of the crisis of violence against women in Latin America. November 25th was the date chosen to commemorate their lives and promote global recognition of gender violence, and has been observed in Latin America since the 1980s.
Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. According to UNIFEM, at least one in three women in the world has suffered from violence, usually by someone known to her. In many societies, bias in the legal system and community attitudes add to the trauma.

he Issue

1 in 3 women and girls experience violence in their lifetime #orangeurworld
Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. According to a 2013 WHO global study, 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence. However, some national studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner [1].
To raise awareness and trigger action to end this global scourge, the UN observes International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November. The date marks the brutal assassination in 1960 of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic.
Dos personas saltando con pantalones naranjos #orangeurworld
Every year, 25 November and the ensuing 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence which follow (ending on 10 December, Human Rights Day) are commemorated around the world, providing individuals and groups a chance to mobilize and call attention to the urgent need to end violence against women and girls.
Ending violence against women is one of UN Women’s key priority areas, with programmes addressing the pandemic implemented globally. UN Women also coordinates the UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign and supports widespread social mobilization through its Say NO – UNiTE to End Violence against Women social media platforms on Facebook and Twitter. In addition, UN Women manages the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women which commemorates its 17th anniversary in 2013.

As part of this year’s theme “Orange the World in 16 Days”, we invite you to wear orange – the official colour of the UNiTE campaign. On Orange Day, now observed on the 25th of every month, worldwide activities by UN country offices and civil society organizations strive to highlight efforts to prevent and end violence against women and girls. This year, the UNITE Campaign is extending Orange Day throughout the 16 Days of Activism.

UN LONDINENSE EN EL IES LAS SALINAS

Así nos relata la coordinadora  CLIL del IES Las Salinas la visita  a su centro de un  Londinense que se encuentra disfrutando de una beca Leonardo da Vinci en Canarias.

On November 8th, we had the opportunity to receive Nick Appel, a Londoner who studied Philosophy and he is now in Gran Canaria with a Leonardo da Vinci grant.

We had planned some activities related to Maths, Ethics, Biology and Music before the visit:

1º ESO: they compared the way we do long divisions with the way English people do it. The main objective was to show our students that different algorithms give the same answer to the same problems. The idea is to open our students’ mind to other ways of thinking. And we took advantage of Nick’s visit to do this.

As he was coming to the island as a tourist, the students decided to give him some information about Lanzarote.

 4th ESO: they also talked about history, food, population, ways of living, Philosophy, Ethics, legends, etc.

At the end of this activity they asked him some questions about him, his hobbies, his daily routine, his studies, and so on.

They enjoyed the activity because it broke the daily routine of the classes.

The activity was quite satisfactory.
