Part 2 of the Lighthouse Reports investigation in collaboration with El Pais, Unbias The News and Financial Times ran last week, leading with people, not numbers. A deep dive into the failure of Spain’s degree recognition program exposes why migrant doctors are blocked from working in their specialised fields despite Spain’s looming doctor shortage. https://lnkd.in/gVvmM8Ft A character-driven explainer in Sweden describes a sweeping failure to integrate migrants with advanced degrees into the professional workforce. https://lnkd.in/ga6vtKeT If Part 1 utilized startling visualizations and huge numbers to convey the sheer scale and scope of brain waste across Europe in the Financial Times explainer and the El Pais expose, Round 2 stories intentionally tell quieter, more nuanced stories. For Part 2, I’m sharing some reflections on centering the stories of impacted communities. This was the starting point for our approach. “We are not doing nearly enough narratives — we are seeing data used as an end in itself, rather than a jumping-off point for strong journalism,” said Sarah Cohen. “I’m a judge [for data journalism awards,] and I can tell you we throw out 90% of the submissions because they are great data exercises, but not great journalism. We get to do both — but if we forget to do the part that we’re good at as journalists, then what’s the point?” https://lnkd.in/g3taHxPQ The first thing we learned was we needed data-savvy journalists who are great storytellers for a data story to become strong journalism. With Beatriz Ramalho da Silva from the Lighthouse Team and Justin Yarga, a data journalist from Burkina Faso living in Sweden reporting for Unbias The News, we had a lead reporters passionate about both finding the nuances in the data and the characters who are most representative of the trends surfaced by the data. Trust was essential for the characters featured in the story to share their experiences.  Reporters went through the data findings with everyone in the story to help them both understand that they would not be exploited for a sensationalist headline and they are emblematic of the multiple barriers locking migrants out of good jobs. Our team believed that if the reader feels emotionally invested in the characters, they will make it through the complexities of the story. Exhaustive storyboarding ensured a smooth narrative flow as we transitioned from the stories of victims of brain waste, to the data findings they represent, to the experts who explained the structural barriers behind the lived experiences and data. The storyboarding also served as a strategy to get buy-in from busy editors skeptical of their audience's appetite for a long-form piece on the migrant experience.

Under certain conditions, double (duplicated) structures in the family business are a fallacy; a procedural error that is attractive, but not effective to educate and develop Next-Gens as CEOs.

As equestrians, are we aware of the pivotal link between equine welfare and the horsemen/horsewomen role? It's not merely about mastering the saddle or perfecting our form; it's about understanding and respecting the needs of our partners. The Five Domains Model offers a holistic framework, as riders, it's our duty to ensure each domain is nurtured for our horses to thrive. But how do we bridge the gap between theory and practice? Here's where innovative tools like pedalo come into play. By leveraging technology and collaborating with seasoned professionals, we can cultivate awareness among riders. We can champion a culture of responsibility and empathy in the equestrian community. Let's equip riders with the knowledge and tools needed to become partners, not burdens, to our beloved horses. After all, their happiness and health are inextricably linked to our actions in and out of the arena. Join us in advocating for equine wellbeing and rider accountability. Together, we can ensure our horses lead fulfilling, joyful lives.

Les papallones parlen sobre els canvis en els hàbitats; expliquen el passat, el present i tal volta el futur del paisatge. Per això és necessari "escoltar-les", és a dir, fer-ne seguiment durant anys i anys com els 30 que porta el #CatalanButterflyMonitoringScheme i saber interpretar les dades obtingudes. Per altra banda, la seva conservació és clau pel manteniment d'aquests hàbitats com a insectes pol·linitzadors. https://lnkd.in/dngRgfSe Las mariposas hablan sobre los cambios en los hábitats; explican el pasado, el presente y quizás el futuro del paisaje. Por eso es necesario "escucharlas", es decir, hacer seguimiento durante años y años como los 30 que lleva el #CatalanButterflyMonitoringScheme y saber interpretar los datos obtenidos. Por otra parte, su conservación es clave para el mantenimiento de estos hábitats como insectos polinizadores. Butterflies talk about changes in habitats; they explain the past, the present and perhaps the future of the landscape. That is why it is necessary to "listen to them", that is to say, follow them for years and years like the 30 years that the #CatalanButterflyMonitoringScheme has been running and know how to interpret the data obtained. On the other hand, their conservation is key to the maintenance of these habitats as pollinating insects.

#política #democracia #centrismo Este artículo de Yair Zivan en The Atlantic explica muy bien lo que significa ser “centrista” en política, en tiempos en los que se intenta antojadizamente equiparar tal cosa con ser tibio o indefinido. En caso no tengan acceso al texto, les pongo aquí algunas citas destacables: “…centrism is frequently dismissed by its critics as too poorly defined, too short on passion, too weak to serve as an effective response (…) In fact, centrism offers the most potent antidote to the excesses of populism.” “For too long, centrism has been defined by its critics, while actual centrists have shied away from making the case for their approach loudly and proudly. That has to change, not just for the good of political centrism but for the good of liberal democracy as a whole.” “Centrism has a set of core values, a set of beliefs that underpin the entire political approach: a focus on moderation and pragmatism; an embrace of complexity; a deep and unwavering commitment to liberal democracy, including the essential institutions that uphold it, an understanding of the value of compromise; a belief in equality of opportunity; a positive liberal patriotism; and a trust that through balancing the tensions that exist in every nation, we can make people’s lives better.” “Centrism doesn’t look for total victory over one side or the other, but rather for the most effective approach to dealing with complex and ever-changing challenges. Most often, that means managing the never-ending tensions between competing sets of values.” “At a time when politics too often feels like a negative force, when politicians are more divisive and divided than the public they seek to represent, and when intransigence feels unavoidable, centrism can offer a dramatic break from the trajectory of politics across the world. It is the antidote to populism; it is the politics of hope.”

Large photographs of one of the AVE Madrid-Valencia trains and a wind farm in Denmark decorate the spacious ninth floor of the European Investment Bank (EIB) headquarters, where its president, Nadia Calviño, has her office. Both projects reflect the most well-known aspect of its activities: large infrastructure projects. But as many citizens are discovering, often in Calviño's weekly videos, the EIB's actions "affect very specific aspects of citizens' daily lives," from urban transportation to housing, innovation, and, in the future, more intensely, defense. "The current geopolitical context requires Europe to mobilize all possible instruments to invest and make the twin green and digital transitions a success, while also strengthening the continent's capacity to ensure peace and security," Nadia Calviño explains in an interview with La Vanguardia in Luxembourg. Check it out to learn more about the latest on the European Tecn Champions Initiative, the first Spanish fund for start-ups (the 'megafondo') and the support to the European Defense industry.
