Engagement and Culture: Engaging Talent in Turbulent Times
When businesses confront an external environment
characterized by challenge and confusion,
why should they be interested in human capital
management? The answer is simple. In times

School Assessment Feedback – Holland
One powerful thing is that children are not biased on values: they love to talk about it. As we filled it within in the classroom, children started to ask questions, which gave space to discussion about some values and which helped teachers to get really in contact with them and enabled to talk about classroom issues … really beautiful process.

In Search of Now
Where is now?
There is no memory in now.
There is no future in now.
It is not in any place, but it is in nowhere.
It is here and now. It is now here.

It is what it is, and it is not what it isn’t
