I have handed in my MSc project report. It is done. I'd like to thank my ever-patient girlfriend, friends who haven't seen much of me for two years, work for letting me use hack days on school work, coffee, tea, custard creams, my mother, my producer, etc. etc. And @timberry for talking me into it! #adultlearning #msc #compsci #beeroclock

Well, it might not look like much but this is the culmination of a few months of design, research and development.

Adult education centres, for instance the ones in Mykolajiw and Nikopol, are providing psychological support and first aid courses."

I want to start a social engineering competition, maybe at defcon or the like, where the aim is to communicate security concepts to non-tech people, and say, teach them to use a password manager or MFA.

We could have levels, like can you teach a teen? A CEO? A person who says "the google"? Can they explain the concepts back to a judge when you are done?

Not kidding, who wants to help me set this up?

I am seriously thinking of doing a qualification in art therapy... It would involve signing up for a postgraduate course at uni... (been 25 years since I finished my own advanced master at uni!!)
Any mature students out there (or ex mature students)? How was it like for you?

It was a pleasure to be part of the 'EPALE Ireland National Day' on #futureskills. And it was a great surprise to find myself in annual review brochure. Such a wonderful graphic with an apt quote.

On the train after having taught a class on fermented shrimp in the city.
Very aware that I have five bottles/packets of various kinds of funky smelling things in my bag and they are wafting through the train carriage 🤣

Hey #Melbourne folk!
Ever wanted to learn more about the history and production of fermented shrimp in Southeast Asia?
Come hang out with Annie and I this coming Tuesday at Laneway Learning as we talk cincalok, belacan and kapi.

Join us for a pungent evening as we tumbuk and mix up some quick and tasty condiments for everything from seafood to fruit! 😁

Just agreed to co-teach a little adult-learning class on the history and uses of fermented shrimp in Southeast Asia.

Would love any interesting ideas, stories, activities and/or recipe suggestions! 😊

What would *you* like to see if you were to sign up for an adult-learning class?

📌 The European Year of Skills could be "the perfect occasion for education stakeholders to campaign for the #EuropeanYearofSkills to go precisely beyond this misconception that education is responsible only for preparing people to be tomorrow’s workforce." says Andrea Lapegna Andrea Lapegna, Deputy Director of the Lifelong Learning Platform
❗️We should follow his advice.
