Buying a ticket and having to stand the entire journey on a delayed service is also theft

Is this common? Education research conferences with AI company sponsors? I never noticed it before. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen such an obvious display of corporate sponsorship before.

Teachers & students in Catalonia are on strike next week with a major protest on Friday in Barcelona. The insta post👇 is from a former colleague. They are fighting for pay, reduced bureaucracy, reduced pupil-teacher ratios, structural/human resources for inclusion & legitimacy in social dialogue.

Democracy in Denmark. My second time voting in local and regional elections. The last time was during the pandemic. Which probably means it's time for me to move on. #valg2025

My book is officially available in hardback from today. Just in time for Christmas! A bit expensive at the moment so have your library treat you to a copy.... 🎁

It's that time of year again in Aalborg. Cruise season, when the giant ships take over the harbour. And high school graduation season, which in Scandinavia involves student celebrations on trucks. But this year, we will also have events related to the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU 🇪🇺

Canal walk to pub in Foxton. You never know what you will see. (None of this was appreciated by my moaning teenage nephew who was forced to get off the sofa for a few hours)

Back in UK after 3-day trip to Paris to present research findings with @emilywinchip.bsky.social from the Inclusive Education for All Needs project at a @etuce.bsky.social training seminar. Lovely people, positive engagement, and many commonalities in the challenges for disability inclusion.

Last week I was privileged to visit a special school in Bucharest for the ETUCE-EFEE project 'Inclusive Education for All Needs'. The visit demonstrated the creativity, resilience and resourcefulness of all personnel in their work with 270 students with moderate and severe disabilities.
