Great new ad for Oslo debuts the week we’re leaving. Looking forward to California, but will miss this place.

@bkdefend Congratulations! Such a great place.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars…Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” https://t.co/EgPQSx1pRW

Has a city ever remade itself as quickly and thoroughly as Oslo? The Norwegian capital has opened two major museums and a stunning public library, and striking neighborhoods have sprung up along its iconic fjord. Here's our guide to 36 hours there. https://t.co/UGTGt2Krjn

The B-52s were right: We should roam if we want to.

Research shows that wandering to new, varied and unexpected places boosts happiness and sharpens creativity.

Resolution: Make 2023 a Wander Year.

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

“Are you who you used to be?” asks Rebecca Solnit. “Specifically, are you the person who made that mistake, held that view now regarded as reprehensible or ignorant, committed that harm years or decades ago?” https://t.co/cBVqrVd9QO

The inaugural “Untold Tales Writing Competition” is an invitation for young people to tell authentic stories highlighting the importance of human rights as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A very cool project! https://t.co/xWRlOR0dGD

Seletzky is a Ukrainian name. My great grandfather was a Russian Orthodox priest from Zhytomyr exiled in the U.S. after the Russian revolution. I’ve never been to my ancestral home. 1/2

@PSassersWorld Way to go! Congratulations. They’re lucky to have you!

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We can learn from the great achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. to recognize that non-violence is the best long-term approach to redressing injustice. If the twentieth century was a century of violence, let us make the twenty-first a century of dialogue.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Culture isn't slogans on the wall or ping pong tables in the hall. It’s a set of shared values that people fight to protect and promote.

Values aren't the ideals people claim to hold. They’re the principles people uphold when they decide what behaviors get rewarded and punished.

[Visit Norway @visitnorway]

Wow! Congratulations to OSL❤️ for being one of top 8 cultural experiences in 2022! @VisitOSLO

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care. Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. The Democrats’ spending bill tries to shrink the gap. https://t.co/convDaRSG6

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.

Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today.
Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.

Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

"Being intentional and reflective about the way you deploy language is the key." Regular use of these seven statements can create a supportive environment in the classroom and at home.
