just a few notes on peoples interests in case that can help our zoom tomorrow get off to fast start
i think young people can change the world by being fluent in multiple languages part of martas work at american international school in barcelona
and by celebrating arts song's mission in life
i think zooms give us great chance to connect students across borders in both of these areas
i first met song when she was escorting chinese architecture student competition winners around the un as the sdgs were being launched in 2015 and she gave me a day of her time to do some work linking in black lives matter in brooklyn- medgar evers college
if we are ever allowed to travel again, many things now intersect in brooklyn- this is where many of jaumonts dual language schools are planted- as france's education and cultural attache to un in ny -its where soros and musician LEON BOTSTEIN recruit disadvantaged students for their liberal arts school bard in new york state which soros is using to connect 30 sdg universities around the world including my favorite brac of sir fazle abed- soros has moved his own 30 year old university out of hungary to vienna alongside ban ki moon's and other un mission's there- 2021 expects to see 2 deep climate summits one coordinated by ban ki-moon and the other cop26 nov 2021 glasgow/italy- i have often found glasgow-barcelona-rome to be peopled very differently than brussels eu -most deep community networks advancing sdgs that i have written up are inspired by either franciscan or some branch of confucian cultures

one of marta's global projects involved taking her 12th graders to help with translation in the peruvian amazon of a project staffed with medics out of michigan which i believe is christian's home state
both song and christian jobs and networks in beijing are diverse and interesting to explore
marta's own web of projects which every student and teacher works on in serving communities is at WIN-WIN CONNECTION, responsabilidad social empresarial
the barcelona school finished the year with students making 12 sdg project pitches that they wanted to keep progressing through summer
on these 75th birthday of un, everything is zoom - and the fringe festival of events hosted sept 15-30 outshines the official ones -in a normal year leaders go not only to the un but to bloomberg and summit world economic forum hosts in ny
so if we can come up with any zooms to pitch sept 15-30 or rehearse with schools this can be a unique time
cheers chris -see you 9 beijing, 3 barcelona time friday at zoom
