- Artificial intelligence (AI) is a source of great hope in healthcare. Properly applied, it has the potential to analyse images and data faster and more accurately than human beings. Its ability to perform administrative tasks can also free up medical professionals to dedicate more time to their patients. But AI comes with certain risks. What data is being used? Can AI respect privacy when handling personal health data? Can we really entrust our health to machines? The EDQM’s 60th anniversary conference (https://www.edqm.eu/en/11-12-june-2024-celebrating-60-years-of-excellence-in-public-health-protection) , held on 11-12 June 2024, featured talks and discussions on a wide range health topics, including from Eric Sutherland, Senior Health Economist at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

- This music clip introducing the poem Zahrada - The Garden by Franta Bass is a new production of When Memory Meets Art. The concept created by Holocaust scholar Raquel Orensztajn, co-initiator of the project, aspires to highlight the authentic voices of the Terezin children, adding a contemporary layer of music and art to the children's inner world, reflected in words and artwork created in the ghetto. The soundtrack brings the voices of 5 children in Prague, Paris, Montevideo, and Tel Aviv. The mix of languages presents the original Czech lyrics written in the ghetto, along with international languages corresponding to a production marking the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and Hebrew, for which the melody composed by the co-initiator of the project, musician Effi Shoshani, was written. The Terezín ghetto children saw what grownups saw - humiliation, offense, uncertainty, endless lines for rationed food, funeral carts, and weekly transports. Still - they preserved a child's o...

- The Council of Europe’s concept of digital citizenship education provides a holistic and comprehensive framework to tackle risks and challenges posed by the widespread use of digital technologies including phenomena such as cyberbullying, hate speech and discrimination. This concept aims to equip citizens, particularly young people, with the essential competences (values, attitudes, skills, and knowledge) to navigate the digital world critically, safely and constructively. The aim is to transform passive users into enlightened and responsible digital citizens.
Education for digital citizenship is an essential lever for building a more humane and equitable digital society. By training informed and responsible citizens, it helps to create a digital space where respect, diversity and democratic values are at the heart of interactions. This approach aims to empower each individual, giving them the means to contribute actively to the digital transformation while preserving t...

- Nat Shaffir was born on December 26, 1936, in Iasi, Romania. His family owned a large farm that supplied dairy products to the Romanian army. One day in November 1942 the Fascist Iron Guard visited the farm, accompanied by a priest who identified the family as Jews. Their farm and all their cattle were confiscated. Allowed to take only one horse and a wagon, they moved into Iasi’s Socola neighbourhood.
Nat and his sisters were barred from attending school and their father was sent into forced labour for the Romanian regime. Although Nat’s immediate family survived the Holocaust, most of their extended family died in the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Buchenwald concentration camps.
Nat is a volunteer with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
