"No More Excuses" Report
The Industry Skills Councils have released the "No More Excuse" Report calling for urgent action to remedy literacy and numeracy problems. "No More Excuses" outlines the literacy and numeracy challenges facing the Australian workforce and the impact this has on industry. International studies have shown that over the past two decades Australia's literacy and numeracy skill levels have stagnated while those of other countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, have improved. Copy of the report is available from this link: https://www.cshisc.com.au/docs/nomoreexcuses_final_single_page.pdf

Sydney Facilitators Network - April Meeting
The Sydney Facilitators Network is holding their meeting on Monday 11 April 2011 at 5.30 pm. The Topic is:
“Strength Flags” - Applied Creativity meets Positive Psychology with Sally Swain
"Have you succumbed to the Western epidemic of self-niggling-and-nagging? When faced with facilitating a big group, or with art materials …or just with daily living…does your Inner Critic run riot?
In this session, you’ll be guided through Sally’s ‘Strengthogram’ – a strategy for identifying and reinforcing your successes.
We look at the skills, passions, positive traits and values that contribute to an activity you enjoyed. We translate your observations into visible form. We play with simple art materials to create a ‘Strength Flag’. We fly this flag as a symbol of personal/professional power and joy.
Both ‘Strengthograms’ and ‘Strength Flags’ are adaptable tools you can apply at any time. You can use them even with the tiny activities you manage to do on a Low Self-esteem Day (psychological equivalent of a Bad Hair Day), or use them with clients.
Sally believes that creativity flourishes in a safe, encouraging, respectful environment. Whether you have art experience or not, feel free to come along and explore."
Venue:
University of Technology Sydney (UTS),
Room CB10.02.410 (follow the signs)
Building 10, Cnr Jones and Thomas Sts. Ultimo (same as usual venue – different room)
Time:
Monday 11 April 2011
From 5:30pm to 7:30pm sharp | No RSVP - Just turn up
Emergency contact Greg Jenkins m: 0418 486 501 e: greg@changeagent.com.au
