Resettlement and integration of Vietnamese refugees, 1979
In order to facilitate the integration of newly arrived refugees, the Canadian C.O.P.I (Centre d'orientation et de formation des immigrés) organizes language classes and outings during which refugees can get to know their new country, the people and the local customs. Here, a group of new arrivals tries maple sugar at a "sugar party," a typical Québécois entertainment.

Wo wir schon bei #2026 sind: Das Fasnachts Comittee z'Basel hat auch schon eine neue #Blaggedde veröffentlicht.

Gefällt mir richtig gut! Schade, dass ich die Fasnacht mal wieder nicht mitbekommen werde.

Photo from behind the statue of the Duke of Wellington in front of Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art.

For over 40 years the Duke has sported a traffic cone on his head. The traffic cone was replaced with a new one, many times of a different design.

This photo, looking from behind the Duke shows the traditional traffic cone replaced with a pigeon reading a newspaper (titled 'Droppping') and wearing a pigeon sized traffic cone.

What #AI doesn’t know: we could be creating a global #knowledge collapse

As GenAI becomes the primary way to find #information , local and traditional #wisdom is being lost. And we are only beginning to realise what we’re missing

Hello! This is Mohammed from Gaza. How are you today? Did you sleep well? What are your plans for today? 🫂🌹🤍

Sit with me, let’s have a coffee together (or a tea if you prefer), and let me tell you a little bit about my family’s history. ☕️📖

I put some old photos, they’re not mine, just here to illustrate.
