What if your brain at 77 were as plastic as it was at 7? What if you could learn Mandarin with the ease of a toddler or play Rachmaninoff without breaking a sweat? A growing understanding of neuroplasticity suggests these fantasies could one day become reality. Neuroplasticity may also be the key to solving diseases like Alzheimer’s, depression, and autism. In this program, leading neuroscientists discuss their most recent findings and both the tantalizing possibilities and pitfalls for our future cognitive selves.

ORFC Global 2021 Session

Across Africa, a network of Earth Jurisprudence Practitioners is accompanying traditional and indigenous communities in the revival and enhancement of their Earth-centred customary governance systems. African Earth Jurisprudence Practitioners from West and Southern Africa will share the philosophy and practice of Earth Jurisprudence and the work that Earth Jurisprudence has inspired on the continent: stories of accompanying rural communities in the revival of their seed and food sovereignty and traditional knowledge and practices, the restoration of their sacred natural sites and associated rituals, and the strengthening of their ecological governance systems derived from the laws of the Earth.  

These civil-society-led initiatives to re-establish Earth-centred governance on the continent are founded on Africa’s rich indigenous legal traditions and cultural heritage and inspired by Earth Jurisprudence – a legal philosophy and ethical framework conceived of by eco-theologian Thomas Berry in the late twentieth century. Through the lens of community stories and Earth Jurisprudence, panellists will explore the role of the sacred in farming and how the revival of traditional farming practices and indigenous seeds can strengthen a sacred human-Earth relationship.

Welcome back to the 2nacheki channel. Migrants were seen sitting on the ground, guarded by police after being recaptured by Libyan security forces, Tripoli, Friday. The people were recaptured following an escape attempt from Al-Mabani detention centre, with at least six people killed during the recapture, according to media reports citing the International Organisation for Migration. Around 3,000 people are thought to have been held in the facility and the area around it, with the number three times exceeding the area's capacity. Many people are thought to have escaped during the shooting, the exact reason of which remains unclear

Dr. Rebecca Futo Kennedy presents on the Antiquity and Middle Ages Channel on the differences between Afrocentrism and Eurocentrism.

Join us in this thought-provoking video as we delve into the contrasting ideologies of Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism, exploring their impact on our understanding of history and culture. Eurocentrism, a widely dominant view, emphasizes the achievements and contributions of European cultures, often overlooking the perspectives and contributions of other cultures. Afrocentrism, on the other hand, focuses on centering and celebrating African history, culture, and achievements, challenging Eurocentric narratives that have historically marginalized Africa and its diaspora. We delve into the historical context that shaped these perspectives, examining the legacy of colonization, slavery, and the struggle for cultural recognition. Eurocentrism tends to portray European history as the pinnacle of human progress and often ignores or minimizes the contributions of non-European civilizations. Afrocentrism seeks to rectify this by highlighting the rich history and achievements of African civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, Mali, and Great Zimbabwe, showcasing their impact on world history and culture. We explore how Eurocentrism has influenced academia, education, and media, often shaping our understanding of world events and perpetuating stereotypes and biases. Afrocentrism challenges this narrative, striving to reclaim and center African perspectives, voices, and experiences. The video examines the ways in which Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism have influenced art, literature, and social movements, shaping cultural identity and promoting inclusivity. We discuss the importance of recognizing and embracing multiple perspectives, fostering a more balanced and nuanced understanding of history, and appreciating the diverse contributions of different cultures. Join us as we engage in a respectful exploration of these contrasting ideologies, aiming to encourage dialogue, understanding, and the celebration of cultural diversity in a global society. Subscribe now to broaden your perspective and embark on this enlightening journey into the world of Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism
