Digital resources to support education for sustainable development, health and well-being, and global skills
January 8, 2025- Education for sustainable development extends beyond the simple study of environmental and social issues. It cultivates a deep understanding of global challenges, develops essential 21st-century skills and abilities, and inspires a sense of responsibility for the future of our planet. Education for health and well-being aims to promote a culture of healthy living, including physical, reproductive, and mental health. Meanwhile, the digital transformation of education involves the active use of modern technology to improve the effectiveness of the educational process and develop digital skills in both students and teachers.

Utah’s spellbinding ‘Spiral Jetty’ has been added to the National Register of Historic Places
January 2025- Robert Smithson constructed the famous 1,500-foot-long land artwork on the shore of the Great Salt Lake in 1970. From the shoreline of Great Salt Lake in Utah runs an unusually long and undulating limb of land. Titled Spiral Jetty, the large-scale swirl was constructed in 1970 by artist Robert Smithson, who was known for manipulating earth into abstract shapes. Now, the land artwork has been added to the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places (…) Dia acquired Spiral Jetty in 1999, when Smithson’s widow, Nancy Holt, donated the artwork. Over the years, the foundation has collaborated with the Great Salt Lake Institute, the Holt/Smithson Foundation and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to care for it. Spiral Jetty is one of the world’s most famous works of land art: art that’s created directly in and from a landscape, either by sculpting earth or building with natural materials. The medium became popular during the 1960s and ’70s within the conceptual art movement, which prioritized artists’ ideas, plans and intentions over the artworks themselves. (…)

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems
(by Anne Trafton)
January 13, 2025 - For many industrial processes, the typical way to separate gases, liquids, or ions is with heat, using slight differences in boiling points to purify mixtures. These thermal processes account for roughly 10 percent of the energy use in the United States. MIT chemical engineer Zachary Smith wants to reduce costs and carbon footprints by replacing these energy-intensive processes with highly efficient filters that can separate gases, liquids, and ions at room temperature. In his lab at MIT, Smith is designing membranes with tiny pores that can filter tiny molecules based on their size. These membranes could be useful for purifying biogas, capturing carbon dioxide from power plant emissions, or generating hydrogen fuel. (…)

Indian villagers claim bamboo forest to turn poverty into prosperity.
December 24, 2024- From India comes the story of a tribal community that has taken ownership of a lush bamboo forest and used it to improve the future of its otherwise impoverished residents. Under a monumental piece of legislation passed in 2006, any indigenous community can claim ownership of federally owned land to which it has a traditional claim. Called the Forest Rights Act, its effectiveness has been patchy, as many indigenous forest dwellers are unaware of it and few are willing to sue on their behalf.

Women weavers: resilience and tradition in the heart of the Amazon
January 2025- Johayne is part of an extraordinary community of women weavers in Brazil’s Central Amazon Biosphere Reserve. The rich cultural traditions of weaving techniques have been passed on through generations, but it has not been easy to earn a living through their craft. Now with support through the Amazon Biosphere Reserves Project, a collaborative effort between UNESCO, LVMH, and the Fundação Vitória Amazônica (FVA) the women have learnt business skills. Finally, the sales of their handicrafts are a way they can support themselves.(…) Strengthening the Novo Airão Artisans Association has made it a pathway to economic independence. The weavers now attract visitors to the building, and the sales of their wares provide a steady income and allow them to continue their traditions. Using natural materials like arumã fibres, vines, and bacaba stems, the women create not only beautiful pieces but also continue a cultural legacy that links their families to the land. Weaving here is a tribute to their heritage, promoting responsible resource use.

However, the gift economy is also widespread in our Western societies, within families, circles of friends and volunteer networks. The purpose of gift economy networks is to make this type of human relationships more evident and widespread. Although the gift economy may seem like a new concept, there are already initiatives in Italy that share some of its principles, such as the Banca del Tempo and Freecycle.
