Jonathan Livingston Seagull Audiobook read by Richard Harris

A skilled flyer but very rebellious young seagull is kicked out of his clan. However, instead of being sad or lonely, he decides to enjoy and explore his newfound freedom.

Narrated by Richard Bach

Producing clothing is bad for the environment, but fast fashion companies H&M and Zara have come out with eco-collections that claim to reduce the harms involved. They also say that they’re moving their whole brands in a more sustainable direction. But is it all greenwashing? 

When Muzon’s family fled the war in Syria in early 2013, they briefly considered leaving her behind. The bright 14-year-old had been studying hard all year for her grade-nine school exams, which were just a month away, and her aunt urged the family to let her stay and continue her education.

Η νέα ταινία της Ύπατης Αρμοστείας του ΟΗΕ για τους Πρόσφυγες υπογραμμίζει την αντίφαση που ζήσαμε όλοι μας αυτό το καλοκαίρι. Από τη μια όμορφες στιγμές μιας μαμάς με το παιδί της στις θάλασσές μας και από την άλλη, στα ίδια ακριβώς νερά, ο αγώνας και η αγωνία μιας μητέρας και ενός παιδιού, που είχαν την ατυχία να γεννηθούν στη λάθος χώρα, τη λάθος στιγμή. Η πλοκή της ταινίας λειτουργεί σε συμβολικό επίπεδο, αντιπαραβάλλοντας ξέγνοιαστες οικογενειακές στιγμές από την μία και την προσπάθεια για επιβίωση από την άλλη.

TEDxAthens (2024, October):

Muzoon Almellehan is a Syrian education activist and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She fled Syria at the age of 14 years old with her schoolbooks so she could keep learning. At Za’atari refugee camp, she advocated for children to go to school. Today, she continues to raise her voice on behalf of millions of children around the world and advocates for their rights. Muzoon Almellehan, 26, is a Syrian refugee and education activist. Muzoon has been campaigning for children’s education in emergencies since she was forced to flee Syria in 2013 with her family. Muzoon started her campaign in Jordan, where she was living as a refugee in camps for three years, including 18 months in Za’atari. As part of a UNICEF-supported back-to-school campaign, she first advocated for more girls to go to school in August 2013 and went from tent to tent speaking with parents of children who were at risk of child marriage or early labor. Over the next two and a half years she became synonymous with standing up for the rights of children, particularly girls, to stay in or go back to school. She accompanied Malala on two visits to the camp. Muzoon now lives in Newcastle, United Kingdom, with her family, and is a graduate of Newcastle University. She is the first UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador who is a refugee and offers a powerful, credible, authentic voice on education in emergencies. In April 2023, Muzoon travelled to London with UNICEF to speak at a parliamentary event where she highlighted the importance of education in emergency contexts. In September 2022, Muzoon travelled to Jordan with UNICEF to meet children and refugees affected by the impact of COVID-19 school closures and raised awareness of the global learning crisis. Muzoon has received the following awards and honors: Dresden Peace Prize 2020, Cle de Peau Power of Radiance award 2019, BBC’s list of 100 influential and inspirational women in 2017, TIME’s 30 Most Influential Teens of 2017, Teen Vogue’s 21 Under 21 Class of 2017 and a 2017 Glamour Women of the Year Award. In 2019 Muzoon was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Glasgow Caledonian University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
