Danas je Ejli Hamilton, direktorica British Council-a za Zapadni Balkan, učestvovala na panelu Culture as a Bridge in Times of Uncertainty u okviru međunarodne konferencije Cultural Diplomacy & the Arts in Times of Uncertainty, koju je organizovao Univerzitet umetnosti u Beogradu u saradnji sa međunarodnim partnerskim institucijama.

Konferencija je okupila stručnjake, diplomate, umetnike i donosioce odluka kako bi razgovarali o ulozi kulture u jačanju međunarodne saradnje i međusobnog razumevanja u vremenima globalnih izazova.

Pored Ejli Hamilton, na panelu su učestvovali i Ambasador Regina Rusz, generalna direktorica za međunarodne kulturne odnose u Ministarstvu evropskih i međunarodnih poslova Austrije, i Roman Bělor, direktor festivala The Prague Spring Festival i član upravnog odbora Vltava Philharmonic Foundation, dok je panel moderirala Cynthia P. Schneider sa Džordžtaun Univerziteta.

Predstavljajući rad British Councila, Ejli je govorila o značaju kulturnih odnosa zasnovanih na uzajamnosti i poverenju, kroz primere povezivanja škola u Jemenu i Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu, kao i programe očuvanja kulturnog nasleđa. Istakla je da održiva kulturna saradnja počiva na reciprocitetu i zajedničkoj koristi svih partnera.

Danas smo u kancelariji British Council-a u Beogradu imali zadovoljstvo da ugostimo predsednika Vlade Republike Srbije, prof. dr Đura Macuta, i ambasadora Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva u Srbiji, Edvarda Fergusona.
U ime British Council-a, goste su dočekale Ejli Hamilton, direktorka za Zapadni Balkan, i Stela Durutović, Regional School Systems Lead.

Poseta je usledila nakon nedavne posete premijera Univerzitetu Cambridge i pružila je odličnu priliku za razgovor o saradnji između Srbije i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva u oblastima školstva i visokog obrazovanja, kao i za predstavljanje rada British Council-a u ovim oblastima.

Posebno smo istakli uspeh programa „Škole za 21. vek”, kroz koji je više od 25.000 nastavnika i preko milion učenika širom Zapadnog Balkana razvijalo veštine kritičkog mišljenja, rešavanja problema i digitalnog građanstva.

Radujemo se nastavku saradnje sa partnerima koji dele našu viziju kvalitetnog i inkluzivnog obrazovanja koje mladima pruža znanja i veštine potrebne za uspeh u svetu koji se brzo menja.

Mike has a plan to make you rich. It involves £20,000, Bitcoin and some investment advice from a man he met while DJing last night. What could possibly go wrong?

At first, you try to disagree politely. Then Mike keeps talking.

What would you say to him? Watch today’s Mini English Lesson to learn some polite (and not so polite) ways to disagree, then tell us in the comments which expression you’d use.
