Met Sid Khan last week — one of the Scottish activists from the Gaza Flotilla, recently detained after Israeli forces intercepted the aid mission. He spoke with courage and conviction about justice, humanity, and the cost of bearing witness.

Very happy to share I’ve officially completed my Masters in Education!
My thesis explored assessment in project-based learning through Derrida & poststructural pedagogy. A challenging but deeply rewarding journey—grateful for all the support, inspiration & conversations that shaped the work. 🗻🎉

I had the privilege of meeting the inspiring @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social and hearing him speak. It was a real joy to share some of the work we’ve been doing on our own Doric Lost Words project, exploring the links between disappearing language and the loss of biodiversity in Aberdeenshire.

Had a wonderful morning in the childhood home of Lord Bryon, with Scotland’s Makar Dr Pàdraig MacAoidh and @drfairbairn.bsky.social, sharing our work on Doric and Sustainability. Language, land, and legacy—aye, they belong together. #Doric #Sustainability #ScotsLanguage @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

Our PBL & Scots students in Banff are using Doric to reply to Gaza pupils’ stories of place, loss, cultural loss & resilience—linking lost words with biodiversity decline. Language shapes our bond with nature & connects us across cultures. @karenadamsnp.bsky.social

At the Scottish Parliament earlier this week for White Armband Day, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre — a solemn reminder of the consequences of hatred, silence, and inaction. Thank you so much for your support @karenadamsnp.bsky.social

Just a quick note to share that—as you know—we held our Banff to Bethlehem exhibition in Banff earlier this year. I’m delighted to let you know that the exhibition in Bethlehem has now taken place too! @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social @karenadamsnp.bsky.social

The ceasefire ended on 18 March. With the sound of F-35s overhead, the pupils of Hussan Boys’ School took this photo to showcase their collaborative work with the pupils of Banff Academy. A powerful testament to creativity and connection in the face of adversity.

End of an amazing week of PBL! We wrapped up feedback with our Palestinian partner Taqi, met the Chair of Philosophy at Aberdeen Uni, and spoke with professional storyteller David Heathfield about including stories from children in Gaza in our project.

Another wonderful day of our partner, Palestinian street artist Taqi Spateen, giving one-to-one feedback to our S2 PBL classes direct from Bethlehem. Completely inspiring, overwhelmingly enriching! #ArtEducation #GlobalConnections #TaqiSpateen @karenadamsnp.bsky.social @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social
