My thoughts about Education Humanities, Technology and Digital Culture. Interested on social media tools in educational contexts and
gamification in education.
Air pollution is often invisible, but its impacts are deeply personal.
In 2023, exposure to air pollution worldwide resulted in an estimated 7.9 million deaths, and millions of healthy years of life lost.
It affects how we breathe, how we live, how we feel, our ability to earn a living, and how we imagine the future.
Every Breath Has a Story is a global call for powerful photographs and personal reflections that reveal the human reality of air pollution: its sources, its consequences, and the hope found in action and cleaner air solutions.
We are especially proud to launch the first chapter of this campaign at theAfrica Clean Air Forum 2026, in Pretoria, spotlighting stories and images from across Africa.
Whether you are a professional photographer, student, activist, journalist, or someone who captured a meaningful moment on your phone, we want to see the world through your eyes.
What to look for :
Submissions will be welcome that capture one or more of the following:
Air Pollution Sources: Traffic, smoke, waste burning, cooking fuels, generators, industry, dust, agriculture, open burning, or other unique sources.
Human Experience: How polluted air affects daily life, movement, work, family life, schools, and wellbeing.
Health Impacts: Children, elders, vulnerable communities, hospitals, respiratory challenges (e.g., use of inhalers).
Selected entries will be featured in a clean air campaign during the Clean Air Day (September 7).
Selected entries will also be featured in global reports on air quality published by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and State of Global Air (SoGA).
Selected entries from Africa will be featured in a photo exhibition in Pretoria, South Africa in July 2026.
All selected contributors will receive full credit.
If you are a teacher in Africa or have African students among your students, it will be a wonderful activity to promote into your curricula.
Interesting activity to students who love Photography or study Arts & Photography, don't you think?
Students love participate in contests. They get excited to show off their skills no matter the contest. But a contest about Photography?
You can ask for help from a colleague who loves photography or is on the Photography Club at school.
Participating in this photo contest uploading a photo that young people can shot in a big city, a small town, a village, whatever.
The contest could be an interesting activity to those students who are enjoying summer holidays or to those students who preparing their exams. During a breack and going, a good relaxing activity.
💛Note : Photos from Africa will be spotlight. However all photos about Pollution will be welcome.

A century before GOT, Ser Duncanthe Tall, and his squire, Egg, wandered through Westeros while the Targaryen dynasty ruled the Iron Throne, and dragons were still remembered. Great destinies and enemies await the incomparable friends.
There will be no doubt who the gods have chosen to rule. #HOTDSeason 3 premieres June 21 on HBO Max.
The first teaser, revealed at New York Comic-Con, showcases a more whimsical tone than its predecessors Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, while still maintaining the epic scope fans have come to expect from stories set in Westeros.

👩👨Education:
As I wrote, some years ago, a Narrative textlets us know something. It tells us what happened. It tells us a story. Our students love to hear narrations.
They strain to hear the latest news among their friends about what happened over the weekend and they rush to see the latest films that promise a good story! We know that! Look at movies, likeCharlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl's book(children and teens) by the wonderful and creative Tim Burton, or After, some of the last teen films.
"Movies present language in a way that is often more natural than that found in course-books, the fantastic visual context aids understanding and boosts listening, and students just simply love them."

Movies based on children and teen books are an attractive and enjoyable digital resource to motivate students to read in school.
So, we can motivate young readers, presenting literary books trough movies. Gorgeous educational resource, I can say!

Hoping teachers can continue to explore The Game of Thrones at school. George R. R. Martin one of the best science-fiction writers.
"Game of Thrones is a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced."
