From Europe to Africa to southeast Asia, tens of thousands of climate activists around the world launched protests Friday to call for an end to the burning of planet-warming fossil fuels as Earth suffers from dramatic weather extremes.

Ça va tranquille, la rentrée se passe bien, et toi ? 😁
Là où j'habite les gens se disent bonjour dans la rue ou à vélo (et j'habite pas dans un patelin de 200 habitants). Je dois exploser mon score de bien être ! (En vrai j'aime beaucoup cette pratique depuis que j'habite ici alors il y a peut-être du vrai...)
Et bonjour à tous les voisins de c/France :D

What's the best ice breaker exercise for the class that a professor used on your first day of class?
I am myself an introvert so I get that very much. The pairing is about trying to diffuse the anxiety. If I feel it is not working well, there are ways to mitigate the issue. For many exercises, interaction can be a nightmare for introverts. I was organising a role play in a master course and I know I would have hated that when I was a student, but I am trying to rely on my own experience to avoid huge mistakes and making people too inconfortable. It is important to read the room but also to experiment to see what works and not!
What's the best ice breaker exercise for the class that a professor used on your first day of class?
Lecturer here, and I would say it really depends on the setting and the content of the class. I tried different things that worked, pairing students to introduce each other for two minutes, then they have to present each other (small groups). Surveys with menti for large crowds, and I am also answering the questions (mix of personal/content/opinion questions to understand the general atmosphere ok the lecture hall).
In a summer school, I did something I really liked, the walking exercise. 3 rounds, 3 questions: students have to walk in the room, and when I clap they have to pair with the closest person and discuss the question. Then we share altogether. But again the content of the questions may really depend. The summer school was about transformations for sustainability, targeting PhD candidates. We were asking about an important event explaining why there were studying sustainability, one question was 'what are you good at' and the last one was 'what do you think should be transformed to become sustainable.'
Des milliers de clients reçoivent depuis quelques semaines leur régularisation de factures d'électricité et la note est parfois très salée. Certaines vont jusqu'à 10 000 euros dans les cas les plus extrêmes.
Bonne nouvelle en soit, maintenant attendons les détails (montant, redistribution, moyens d'y échapper, etc.), et voir si d'autres pays voudraient suivre. Je suis assez pessimiste mais faut dire que les politiques écologiques ça donne pas envie d'être optimiste en général...
C'est un bon résumé de la situation aussi avec quelques liens intéressants pour ceux qui ne sont pas trop au fait ou veulent aller plus loin ensuite :)
Haha damn I really need to work on it, I am already bad in real life at noticing satire, it is even worse online 😅
"Lower class hexbear mob"? Seriously?? Or is it a satire?
If not, you are using your free speech against others here, showing how superior you think you are. Why couldn't they also express their voice?
How is the second statement problematic? It is a fact, that is largely documented in academia and many movements everywhere in the world. Disappointing decision....
Le Mali et le Burkina face à la Cedeao : prise de bec et bruits de bottes
Les régimes malien et burkinabè considéreraient une intervention militaire internationale, au Niger, comme « une déclaration de guerre » contre leurs pays. Mais quels moyens auraient-ils pour un double-front sécuritaire ? – Jeune Afrique
Non-native English speaking scientists work much harder just to keep up, global research reveals
Our research found non-native English speakers face higher rejection rates and 12.5 times more revisions than their native English-speaking counterparts. But there are solutions.
So true! I was really sceptical at first, not being a huge fan of either western movies and Kung Fu ones, but this TV show is definitely something else! Starting season 3 now 😁
Science for sale? Why academic marketization is a problem and what sustainability research can do about it

Merci beaucoup ! Je suis arrivée tout récemment sur Lemmy, j'avais commencé sur Lemmy World, mais pour aider un peu la charge, je suis passée sur une autre instance, c'est donc mon deuxième premier post sur cette communauté !
Pour l'article, de rien :) je n'ai encore rien vu de précis en français la dessus, mais je me suis dit que c'était quand même une nouvelle importante, avec beaucoup de conséquences des deux côtés.
Le niger suspend les exports d'Uranium
Reports revealed that Niger issued a decision to stop gold and uranium exports to France.
Finished the two seasons of From that are out recently :) more like binged watched them actually 😅 I loved it, I was afraid of watching a modern kind of lost (never really got into it), but it is totally different, and rally my type of sci-fi horror/thriller. The actors are also doing a great job!
