Thank you to the Fall 2023 protégés for participating in our mentorship program and participating in another successful launch. ❣️ We truly could not have done it without your support and dedication! 🌟

ALT In the centre of an orange square, you'll find a photograph from the Fall 2023 launch featuring ten protégés. Featured alongside them are our beloved mascot and an interVivos sign. In the backdrop, a rich gold curtain adds an elegant touch. At the top left of the frame, you'll notice a heartfelt message exclaiming "Thank you!" in bold, light brown letters. At the top right corner of the orange frame are nine subtle beige dots. At the bottom right, crisp white text , "Fall 2023 Protégés".

Hot off the press! Access our NEW scoping review about Culturally Responsive Eval for FREE until Aug 1!
We found that CRE evaluators prioritize community involvement & attend to power differentials, but gaps in how culture/eval are interpreted cause inconsistent CRE practices.

I have no time for folks who say we need to give up on 1.5C. Everyone needs to think like an athlete: Set a long-term stretch goal, have a plan, work hard on it every day. It's super tough but you dig deep. You never give up. Focus on finish line: A sustainable 🌎 for all. #IPCC

Great piece by @pimientacarlos. "Each individual and community carries only one piece of the puzzle, a limited part of the knowledge and embodied practices needed to sustain life within Earth’s living metabolism. Let’s continue putting those pieces together."

If this was the way to school (within a reasonable distance) as compared to the yellow school bus would parents / guardians / families invest in it. The bike bus! @EverActiveAB
What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy
