This is a very first of its kind event in India. We have space for 4 more organizations and what we want from you is to just come and join us in this social cause and get free publicity via our Social Cause Fair in entire media. This event is a platform we have made to call as much as possible (15 this time) eminent non profitable organizations to come and stand at one place and share their views.
What you can do is send us your publicity material and we will be putting it all over the event place plus you can also send some goodies which will be given to the winners of quizzes and competitions going to held inside the event. You can also sponsor us some internships and we will be sending some sincere guys to your organization in the month of December, May and June or you can suggest us some more constructive ideas.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Green School in Bali

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a songbird will come.
- Chinese proverb -
The Green School in Bali
With natural light and a breeze that passes through, John Hardy's dream of building a green school comes alive in Bali. Created with bamboo architecture, no walls and a diverse range of teachers, this school not only teaches reading, writing, and arithmetic but also teaches how to reconnect to nature, endeavoring to develop future green leaders from 25 different countries. This 14 minute TED talk shares Hardy's amazing journey from being lit up by a small idea to the culmination of a beautiful model with these principles at its core: be local, let the environment lead, and think about how your grandchildren might build.
Be The Change
Reflect on this short passage on "True Education" by Albert Einstein. { more } DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 111,929 subscribers. There are many ways to help.
Would like to meet Kolkata NGOs Feb 8
I will be in Kolkata for a wedding Feb 7 to 9.
I would be pleased to meet any NGO in Kolkata.
Feb 8 till 3 pm is most convenient. I will be staying at Hotel Sonnet, near ILS Hospital, Salt Lake City.
If someone can take the initiative to call NGOs, do let me know, so we can jointly figure out how to do it.
In any case, please email me if you can meet.

Interpersonal Skills Training for Human Service Professionals (February 21 to April 20, 2012)

CENTRE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING Tata Institute of Social Sciences PO Box 8313, Deonar, Mumbai 400088 ANUBHAV An Interpersonal Skills Training for Human Service Professionals (February 21 to April 20, 2012) About the Programme All people need to use interpersonal skills in the course of every day living to be able to experience enriching lives. The territory is already familiar. The range of what constitutes interpersonal skills is vast. A short list of such skills would include at least the following: counselling, group membership skills, assertiveness, social skills, interviewing skills of various sorts, writing skills, using the telephone and group facilitation skills. Examples of how such skills are used in a range of settings are also numerous and would include the following among many others: Counselling skills: counselling colleagues, friends, clients and customers; Assertiveness skills: returning faulty goods, saying ‘no’, keeping to contracts and agreements; Social skills: introducing yourself, attending meetings, working with the general public, with customers and clients; Facilitation skills: running meetings and groups, chairing discussions and organizing planning meetings. All professional people need and use a variety of interpersonal skills in every aspect of their work. The difficult thing, however, is to teach these skills to other people. Very often, they are learned through the process known as ‘setting with Nellie’; the new professional is supposed to pick up various skills through observing older and more experienced colleagues at work. The problem arises when those colleagues demonstrate that they do not have particular interpersonal skills! Arguably, this situation has arisen because those colleagues were given no formal training either and so the cycle of events is continued. However, skills alone will not suffice. Behind and alongside the practice of interpersonal skills must be a set of values, a series of attitudes, all of which contribute to the ‘human’ element of interpersonal behaviour. We cannot afford to train ourselves and others in a range of skills alone. While the skills are being used, there must be a reflection of the human being that lies behind them. In fact it can be stated more strongly: the interpersonally skilled person is one who demonstrates humane, caring qualities. A basic cluster of such necessary qualities may be identified as: warmth, genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard (Rogers 1967). Interpersonal Skills Training as an enabling and resilience-building process has tremendous significance in the context of the modern day world. In this nexus, the existing geo-socio-cultural situation and subsequent changes occurring in and around us have implications on the day-to-day functioning of individuals. Consequently, human relationships and life patterns are becoming increasingly complex and challenging. As a result, pressures and demands of living place tremendous strain on our ability to cope effectively. Incidences of stress-related breakdowns are on the rise. Thus, Interpersonal Skills Training as a helping tool to aid individuals to deal effectively with adversities is gaining momentum. Application of Interpersonal Skills Training is becoming a central feature of the work of all human service professionals. In fact, a heavy demand is placed on such professionals in different settings (health, education, welfare, industrial and so on) to be effective in their interpersonal relationships at the work place. Additionally, administrators and managers of programmes/schemes also are resorting to training in interpersonal effectiveness at different levels in their organizations. As a result, such training is imperative for enhancing quality of the work etc. In response to this training need, the Centre for Lifelong Learning proposes to offer a short term programme in “Interpersonal Skills Training for Human Service Professionals”. This programme offers grounding in practical interpersonal skills training. Additionally, participants of the programme will be facilitated to explore their personal qualities, develop appropriate qualities for interpersonal effectiveness and identify directions for their self-growth and development. Hence, it will be beneficial for any one working in a caring/helping profession and also to those in a managerial/supervisory professional role. Objectives of the Programme After completing the Course, the learners would be able to: Explore and develop the essential qualities for enhanced personal and professional development Understand the importance, nature and types of Interpersonal Skills: counselling and interviewing, communication and assertiveness, exploration and effective management of emotions, problem solving, facilitation and social skills Develop competencies for interpersonal effectiveness Programme Content I. Interpersonal Skills Training Importance and meaning of Interpersonal Skills. Scope and types of Interpersonal Skills. Personal qualities essential for interpersonal effectiveness II. Practice Skills Inter-personal Communication Counselling : Nature, Scope, Types and Models of Counselling: Psycho-analytic, Behavioural, Gestalt, Humanistic, RET and Egan’s Model of Helping Counselling Plan and Process Skills for supportive counselling early identification of problems and timely referrals Creative arts as facilitative tools in counselling (dance and movement, dramatics and storytelling, art, recreation and games) Exploration and Management of Emotions Problem Solving and Conflict Resolution. Assertiveness Training Group Facilitation Skills III. Personal and Professional Growth Developing proficiency in practicing Interpersonal Skills Effective coping, stress management and self-renewal Ethical responsibilities and issues Self-awareness in the context of thoughts, feelings, behaviour towards becoming an effective professional Programme Details Mode Part-time Evening Programme (Monday – Friday : 6.00 p.m. – 9.00 p.m.) Location TISS Duration 21st.

GLOBAL WEEK OF ACTION: EU-INDIA FTA 6-10 February 2012

GLOBAL WEEK OF ACTION: EU-INDIA FTA 6-10 February 2012 In 2001, India’s generics brought prices down from $15000 per person per year to $350 for first line AIDS medicines. 80% of people living with HIV in developing countries are on Indian generic ARVs Over 90% of pediatric AIDS medicines are supplied by Indian generics. BUT ALL THIS COULD CHANGE IF INDIA DOES NOT SAY NO TO IP IN THE EU-INDIA FTA This January, another round of negotiations on intellectual property was held between Indian and EU negotiators as part of the EU-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) talks. News reports in India quote the EU Ambassador as stating that discussions on Pharmaceuticals have progressed significantly. On the 10th of February 2012, at the EU-India Summit to be held in Delhi, the EU & India will agree on and finalize the political framework for the FTA. Groups in India are worried – how have the IP negotiations progressed? Are the EC and India progressing towards an agreement which includes provisions that will seriously hamper India’s ability to manufacture safe, effective and affordable generic medicines and export these to other developing countries? WHY THE CALL FOR ACTION? 6th – 10th FEBRUARY 2012!! Since 2007, people living with HIV in India and across the world have been resisting the pressure of the EC on India to sign an FTA with provisions on intellectual property that will endanger access to generic medicines from India. We must once more show the EC and the Indian government that our lives cannot be traded away! This is a Call for a week of Action across the globe from 6th – 10th February 2012 on the EU-INDIA FTA. The week of action is a run up to the EU-India Summit that will be held in Delhi on 10th February 2012. OUR DEMANDS REMOVE: § Investment Rules, as they enable foreign companies to take the Indian government to private courts over domestic health policies like measures to reduce prices of medicines. § Border Measures, as they will deny medicines to patients in other developing countries with custom officials seizing generic medicines in transit. § Injunctions, as they undermine the independence of the Indian judiciary to protect right to health of patients over the profits of drug companies. § Other Intellectual Property Enforcement Measures, as they put third parties like treatment providers at risk of police actions and court cases. DON’T BRING BACK: § Data Exclusivity, as it delays the registration of generic medicines and will not permit the placing of affordable versions of pediatric doses and combinations of “off-patent” medicines on the market. IT’S NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE TRIPS AGREEMENT! § Patent Term Extension, as it will extend patent life beyond 20 years. The EC states that these two provisions are off the table. It must keep its word! PLEASE JOIN US -YOUR COMRADES- IN INDIA! In the coming days, groups from around the world and in India will demonstrate against the EU-India FTA. We ask you to join us in sending a clear message to the European Commission: our lives cannot be traded away. 1. Organise your own rally: You can organize rallies or demonstrations in front of European Commission offices in your countries to voice your opposition to their aggressive negotiations on intellectual property in FTAs. Don't forget that the EU is also negotiating FTAs with many other developing countries and making the same demands. 2. Raise awareness/media action: Even though you might not be able to support our rally financially or physically you can help us by spreading the word about our concerns. Write an editorial in your local paper. Hold a press conference. Issue a press release or press statement. 3. Write to the Indian Government: You can also write to the Indian Government asking it to stay strong and not give in to the demands of the European Commission. India, as the pharmacy of the developing world, has an obligation to its citizens as well as patients across the world. Please try and meet the Indian ambassadors in your countries and convey to them how important it is that India reject ALL the demands of the EU. Millions of lives depend on this. 4. Write to your own government: Public health programmes around the world depend on generic medicines from India. Ask your government to tell the EU and the Indian government to keep IP out of the FTA negotiations. 5. Share your actions: PLEASE send us photos, articles, videos of all your actions immediately and FOLLOW the actions of other groups here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-the-EU-India-Free-Trade-Agreement/144687138908841 and here http://donttradeourlivesaway.wordpress.com/ 6. Donate: In order to organize these protests, we rely on funding. Any financial support is welcome. No amount is too small – or too big! If you know organizations, which are interested in funding, if you want donate to our protest, please contact us. We plan to meet the aggressiveness of the European Commission with our peaceful protests. There is too much at stake. Join us NOW!
