Title: Global Competence Professional Learning Modules for Kentucky Educators
Body:
Kentucky educators now have access to nine free Global Competence Modules that are self-directed and can be completed anywhere there is an internet connection.
Written and created by Stacy Shipman and Karen Loper in coordination with the Kentucky Department of Education, the eight modules and final review module help educators understand the concept of global education and how those ideas can translate into global lesson for all students in all content areas.
Each module is in a PowerPoint format with narration. Hyperlinks within the modules deepen learning when participants explore the referenced resources. Reflection questions are included in each module and post-module reflections help learners synthesize the information. An additional resource guide contains all referenced resources and suggested citations.
Educators can complete the modules individually or in professional learning community teams or groups. Each module takes 15-20 minutes, or longer when fully exploring the linked resources and engaging in the learning through active reflection.

Title: Invitation to Submit: Babel Film Festival
Body:
From http://www.babelfilmfestival.com/en/
Babel Film Festival is the first international film competition intended solely for film productions that describe and narrate minorities, in particular linguistic ones.
The aim of Babel Film Festival is also to become an annual event for the city of Cagliari, the Sardinian capital, to create a place for discussion and exchange that well fits the vocation of a city where diversities meet, talk to and understand each other. It is also an important opportunity for the people of cinema, and art in general, so that they can enrich themselves with this source of creativity, granted by the diversity of minority languages (a definition that includes also dialects, slang and more) and their figurative and communicative force.
