[Parallel Histories @ParaHistories]

In the early 1960s, relations between the US and the Soviet Union continued to deteriorate. With many confrontations that brought both superpowers to the brink of war. This new student program explores both American and Soviet narratives.

Armistice/Veterans Day parade by my high school pipe band last weekend - awesome!

[Royal High Pipe Band @royal_pipe]

The band had the honour of leading the Davidson’s Mains Armistice Parade along Main Street on Sunday, Pipe Sergeant Izzy Webster played a beautiful lament as the wreaths were laid. This was a first for the band, a tradition we hope to continue for years to come. @Royal_High_Sch

The mood in liberated Kherson:

“We have heating, no electricity, no water, no mobile or internet connection, but NO RUSSIANS! I am extremely happy because now we are free.”

[European Union in the U.S. @EUintheUS]

Mobility and transport also relate to health, climate, justice, ecosystems, and more! Thanks @zaragoza_es 🇪🇸 for co-hosting with @IURC_Programme the Sustainable Urban Mobility & Transport Event, and to those from 13 cities 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦 who shared their expertise and challenges! #IURCNA

[Colin G Baker @colinbakerap]

Very sobering analysis here - just saw this guy on Sky News live comparing the implications of Russian defeat in Crimea (1850s), vs Japan in 1904/5, in WWI to the change in Russia after.

[Ariel Cohen, PhD @Dr_Ariel_Cohen]

While Putin is hell-bent on restoring "big, historic Russia", the West should offer a clear path for political asylum for POWs, draft dodgers, and war opponents, accelerate arms supply to Ukraine, and boost energy security for Europe. My latest @thehill https://t.co/lFpJn2zoop

@ceuttss @vasocialstudies Proud that our Transatlantic Scholars teachers and students in County Mayo, Ireland and Virginia Beach, Virginia got to Zoom last week with the EU Delegation in Washington DC. The EU Delegation loved it too! @CbsCastle @OceanLakesHS

[European Union in the U.S. @EUintheUS]

We love visiting and speaking with students at all levels. Not only do we get to share the work we're doing to strengthen the transatlantic relationship, we get to learn from THEM all the bright ideas and plans they have for making the world a better place.

My mother used to work for Edinburgh University on this street - I'll need to go by there when we're over this summer and snap a picture!
