If you can - please vote! And please tell your friends/colleagues as well. You can give myself up to TWO VOTES, (and anyone of your choice) and please give the rest of your votes to my team at ALEBA - Un syndicat pour tous. Everyone in group 5 has 28 votes to give out. It's important that List 3 ALEBA gets enough votes to have seats in the Chambre des salariés for me to even have a chance of being elected. If you're not in group 5 - you can still vote List 3! (just be careful to verify the total number of votes you have to give- every group is different). Why the Chambre des salariés Luxembourg is important: • Consultation through the preparation of opinions on bills and Grand-Ducal regulations as part of the legislative process • Representation through its participation in Government consulting bodies • Information by means of a series of publications for salaried staff and the working world • Formative training by contributing to the design and organization of professional training programs • Continuing education by offering adult training programs through the Luxembourg Lifelong Learning Center • Designation of employee representatives to the Social Security organizations and Assessors to Labor and Social Security juridictions

This iconic photo shows one of our most senior Elders, Mr Timmy Douglas, being supported by young Yindjibarndi man, Dakota Barry. The connection between Elders and the next generations is vital in keeping traditional cultures strong. Our young people are raised to respect Elders. It is part of our Galharra (Lore). Young people have a cultural responsibility towards Elders, which is defined by Galharra. An older man can be ‘son’ or ‘grandson’ to the younger man or boy. You may hear a young person calling an Elder, son. And Elder may call a young person ‘father’, and so on. This is part of Galharra. Different mobs have different names for the Lore. Each system of Lore is different across each nation. It defines who one can marry, joke with, avoid, and have obligations towards. It is a complex social system, part of the oldest continuous culture on earth. And it is part of the workplace too, for many communities. Understanding Lore, is an important part of working with Traditional Owner communities in Australia. Especially in places like the Pilbara, where it remains strong and informs every day life - and the professional work environment. If you’re interested in learning more, take the time to watch Exile and the Kingdom, a documentary made in Ieramugadu some time ago: https://lnkd.in/guWaMeAV While this documentary relates to the Pilbara it is essential learning for anyone working in Aboriginal communities. Understanding the experience of different nations is a key part of informed engagement and reconciliation. #firstnations #australia #culturalawareness #culture #indigenous #westernaustralia #roebourne #pilbara #karratha #reconciliation

Naming with Purpose: How Consultation Shapes Our Communities   One of the many things I cherish about Botswana is its deep-rooted consultative nature. In our culture, decisions, big or small, aren’t made in isolation.   When it comes to significant life events like marriage, the process is not just about the couple and their immediate families; it extends to the entire clan or even the village. This collective involvement showcases our commitment to shared values and respect for tradition.   This consultative approach isn’t limited to personal milestones. It plays a crucial role in community governance as well. For instance, when it’s time to appoint a new chief or name a new road, a kgotla meeting is called, inviting members of the ward or the entire village to voice their opinions.   This open dialogue ensures that decisions reflect the community’s aspirations and needs, fostering a true sense of belonging and ownership.   I am particularly impressed by the lengths we go when it comes to naming our physical features such as roads, schools, airports, and more. Involving the community in these naming processes brings several benefits:   Naming places after local leaders, historical events, or indigenous languages preserves our history and cultural identity, ensuring that future generations understand their roots.   When a community participates in naming local landmarks, it fosters pride and a sense of ownership. This connection often leads to better maintenance and care of these facilities.   Involving diverse voices ensures that different perspectives are heard, leading to decisions that resonate with the broader population, not just a select few.   Collective involvement in naming creates a sense of unity among community members. It reminds us that we are not just individuals but part of a larger tapestry, woven together by shared experiences and mutual respect.   In a world that often prioritizes individualism, I believe we must hold on to this ethos of consultation for these reasons and more.   I'd love to hear your thoughts! How do you see the impact of consultation in your community or culture? Have you experienced any decisions that brought people together?

New Jersey isn’t just home to many wealthy folks or Springsteen worshippers and Bon Jovi freaks; it is also home to the most non-English community enclaves from across the globe and has a history of receiving immigrants. Notably, one can’t help but notice the influence of Italian-Americans around the state. But today, you’ll see a vibrant mix of cultures from the Caribbean, South and East Asia, and Africa. New Jersey’s centralized location means that its counties are part of several major metropolitan areas on the East Coast, including New York, Philadelphia, and Leigh Valley. New Jersey is an economic powerhouse and home to various industries, including #finance, #manufacturing, #agriculture, and #tourism. That means many brands founded in Jersey have gone global, but there are also many local gems you may have only seen on shows like The Sopranos or Jersey Shore or heard about from natives craving local treats. So get your gym, tan, and laundry situated, and join us for some beloved New Jersey brands and products. https://lnkd.in/eVnXpEx4
