Bakhmut, with the endlessly interesting and enigmatic Dave Young. A scary privilege to make a film, Another Man’s War, about his work in the battle zone. ⁦@federicadecaria⁩

@paulorogeros @ChrisSaintyUK @jl_carneiro @ainterna_pt Well said. It’s an unnerving and stressful situation arriving into a Schengen airport outside Portugal and having to try and persuade border guards it’s a legitimate paper, especially since it only states we have applied for a residency permit, not that we have been granted it.

@ThatAlexWoman @GBNEWS Thanks @ThatAlexWoman Plenty of time yet for the the Alex Phillips College for Philanthropy…

[Andrew Wigley @andrewwigley]

Thank you again to @GBNEWS for inviting me to join @AlStewartOBE and Friends to discuss the power and potential of philanthropy, a $151bn economic activity in the UK alone in 2020! Its potential to education and society at large is colossal. More at https://t.co/tfWvi2e8rW

Many wealthy people - 66 out of the top 100 in the Sunday Times #RichList - give to UK universities making a remarkable contribution to Higher Education. That’s a cause of great celebration. #universityphilanthropy #oxford #highereducation #institutionaladvancement

[Andrew Wigley @andrewwigley]

@AlStewartOBE @UniversityPhil1 @GBNEWS Thanks for the opportunity @AlStewartOBE Your analysis on philanthropy at the outset of the show was spot on. It’s brilliant that @GBNews is paying the attention this $151bn economic activity (2020) in the UK deserves.

'If you really are interested in making a contribution and a selfless act of philanthropy, you wouldn’t be looking to be getting some name recognition out of it'

@andrewwigley on if philanthropy is the way forward.

Thank you to @uniworldnews for the opportunity to make the case that Latin American universities deserve more of the share of global philanthropy

[UniversityWorldNews @uniworldnews]

Philanthropy: Latin American universities deserve more write Andrew Wigley, Marcelo Mazariegos #philanthropy #GlobalEd #HigherEd https://t.co/ZlAdgafwy1

Esquecido ou pouco amado? Por que o ensino superior da América Latina merece mais atenção dos filantropos #WhyNotLatAm #philanthropy #universityphilanthropy #institutionaladvancement

[Andrew Wigley @andrewwigley]

Why does so little global philanthropy go to LatAm universities? Higher education is a big beneficiary of philanthropy. Most big foundations give to universities worldwide. But very little goes to Latin America. Why?

@Teleperformance @Apple Shocking. Call centres pressuring lowly paid staff to be monitored by webcams in their own home. Surely a step too far by a business which treats staff and their well-being so abysmally? https://t.co/I3UZ3U94LN

Sir #LenBlavatnik heads the UK's Sunday Times Rich List 2021. According to our research he is the most generous UK donor to universities worldwide, a vivid illustration that high net worth wealth is a pre-requisite for philanthropy #RichList2021 https://t.co/eyfz6D0b3l
