Very useful.

I'm now living very close to where my family came from! Taking it slowly, I'm going to visit the relevant places and find out more.

An interesting story, and inspiring

@ReginaldMills FTM is rather expensive (£79.95) and will presumably increase in price for the 2024 update.

I definitely want the context. Thank you for these online reources.

Anne Kiely made a comment
I'm really interested in putting into context the life of my maternal grandparents and great-grandparents, as I'm now living fairly close to where they lived.
-

I've found a few gravestones but I'm still keen to find more. I won't be using the DNA route just yet but it's certainly interesting to now what can be done.

Gosh - I need to watch that a few times!

Anne Kiely made a comment
Now that I'm living in the same area as my ancestors, I'm hoping to explore local societies.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
I'm enjoying finding out about resources. I've already found two generations back from my maternal grandfather.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
It's a fascinating story. Perhaps there was animosity towards people with German names?
I've recently moved to the county where most of my family, on both sides, were born.

I'm so pleased that we can download the Italian dialogue!

Yes. I'm appreciating these tips.

Good advice for me! I want to focus on my maternal grandfather, Albert Edward Chester, born in Lincolnshire.

I'm enthused to get going, in a methodical way, focusing on one person initially.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
I'm only just starting on a different strand of research, my maternal grandfather. I'm already finding different names relating to where he was born.
-
I wonder whether there is an index of evacuees during World War 2, their names and where they lived as evacuees. Also, records of National Service e.g. in the RAF in the 1950s.
-

More than one child in a family with the same first name. Certain first names being popular at a certain time or in a place e.g. William, Charlotte, George.

Ciao a tutti. Mi chiamo Anne

I am interested in finding out more about my maternal grandfather, wholived quite close to where I'm living now (Louth, Lincolnshire). The social history interests me as I know very little about him before the 1960s.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
I've done some research before but it's a bit scattered. I'm looking forward to a more structured approach.

Hi. I live in Lincolnshire in England and I enjoy learning languages. My husband and I are planning to visit Sardinia soon.

I was married to a man who I think was probable on the autistic spectrum, but I have only realised this since our divorce. Perhaps if he had been diagnosed and I had known, I could have dealt with various situations differently.
-

An interesting question and certainly not one I would have thought of asking.I look forward to learning much more.

I’m really interested in reading about the SMILES trial and how a specific diet might help with depression.

I’m just starting on the road of increasing my physical activity and modifying my diet.

The outline is very clear and concise (another two Cs!). It’s important to engage fully with the course so that we can all learn from each other and our different experiences. I’m hoping not to come ip against barriers as I’m used to online learning.

Anne Kiely made a comment
I live in the English East Midlands, an area full of pits in recent history. I'm interested in learning more about the industry and the people.

I enjoyed the meditations and the suggestions of how to make these a habit. The focus here is understandably on working, studying and coping with busy lives. Being retired, it's sometimes difficult to get the balance right between keeping busy and being mindful.

Interesting .. I use social media quite a lot but also enjoy days when I'm not checking it!

I find these articles about listening and speaking really interesting. I'm looking forward to putting the ideas into practice

Some statistics from the UK charity Young Minds -
1 in 8 children have a diagnosable mental health disorder – that’s roughly 3 children in every classroom (i).
1 in 6 young people aged 16-24 has symptoms of a common mental disorder such as depression or an anxiety disorder (ii).
Half of all mental health problems manifest by the age of 14, with 75% by age... -

I'm a voluntary trustee of a small charity which supports women, men and children who are victims of domestic abuse. We're looking at how we can support children and young people.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
A small group of trustees/directors made the decision to ask two long-serving trustees to resign.One of these was one of the founders of the charity 40 years ago- a really hard and horrible action to carry out. The organisation has moved forward, widened its mission, established agreed values, renamed, rebranded and has grown!

Anne Kiely made a comment
Founder's syndrome can be a major block to change. I was involved in a decision to ask a founder to resign from a board to allow the charity to move forward and change.

I haven't done a Future Learn course for a while, but this year I'm planning to catch up on reading some classics of English Lit so thougt this course would be interesting.

@MickeyMeji I follow and retweet a lot of the key influencers and commentators in the field of domestic abuse.

Thanks for the link to the article about tools. I hadn’t heard about most of them.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
A great summary of what’s needed. I would say that the soc med manager also needs to liaise with many different people and departments in a large company to know the business inside out. Also, following thought leaders is important to keep in touch with what’s happening in relevant fields.

I use social media a lot - Facebook, Twitter , Instagram and LinkedIn. This is mainly for personal use, but Ialso use it to keep up to date and to share information.

I live in Colchester, England and enjoy a wide variety of foods. I'm vegetarian and considering being vegan, at least when I can control the food I eat. I'm really interested in this course and learning more about how I can manage the food I cook for myself and others.

I live in England, where I was born. I lived in southern Ireland for 11 years and noted many cultural differences. I consider myself European, but recognise that each country in Europe has its own different culture in communications.

I've just briefly visited Singapore and Bangkok on the way to and from Australia. I'm fascinated by the different communication styles.

Anne Kiely made a comment
I think "culture" means different things to different people. Reflexivity is a rather high level activity.

Europe for me is a continent of which I'm a resident. It's made up of many different countries, languages, traditions and histories. This for me makes it an exciting and interesting continent with many possibilities for travel, learning and experiences. The EU is, for me, a different concept, which both enables and disables, brings together legal entities and...

Having worked as a manager in the National Health Service in England, I had to handle several crises - mostly small ones thank goodness. I'm currently a Trustee of a local charity and managing crises of staff management and finance.
I am not a supporter of Brexit and can foresee many problems - but this is probably not a crisis, more a set of large problems!

I live in Colchester in England. I'm retired from paid work but I'm a busy Trustee of a charity and want to make sure that I can understand the accounts as well as do some basic book-keeping.
-
Anne Kiely made a comment
I think all business owners and managers should have a basic understanding of book-keeping, even if they hand over the main job to a professional.

I live in Colchester innEngland and am very much against Brexit. 40 years ago I finished my degree in French and German - there have certainly been lots of changes since then!

Good luck!

I'm inspired by lots of things in different places. Putting the ideas into practice is the challenging bit!

I mainly use colour in craft - embroidery and knitting.

I'm a volunteer with a women's refuge and completely agree with the points you have made.

I agree, the involvement of celebrities needs to be very carefully managed.

Local government could be more involved in supporting social enterprises by offering premises at a discount for start-ups

I'm really enjoying finding out more about the different ways of working and like the information about different organisations.

Anne Kiely made a comment
The challenge is to benefit from the best of both rather than the worst. It also might be difficult to find or recruit the right people to work in or manage the organisation.

I think I ne'er stand social enterprise and entrepreneur best.

I used to live in South west Ireland where I was involved with Action Lesotho. Through the charity, development worker from Ireland now lives and works in Lesotho, helping local women and men to sell their crafts and design new products. There are many other parts of the project. I would like to look at extending this to a "branch" in the UK to provide more...

It's really interesting to see business models being used in different ways to solve social problems. The entrepreneurs are asking "why not?" rather than seeing problems and obstacles.

I live in Colchester in the East of England, where I see the problems of poverty amongst different communities. The food bank and support for homeless people are both really busy and fairly well supported by churches and other organisations and individuals. However, I think one of the main problems us loneliness, across all strata of society.

Anne Kiely made a comment
Really interesting examples. It's great to see creativity applied to problem solving.

The growing gap between rich and poor is a major issue. Of course, there are a lot of broad bands between the two extremes and many different definitions, varying within and across countries. I am often sickened by the over- consumption of almost everything amongst many people who can afford it.

I will be really interested to find out more about all of these theories. I have always assumed that my own depression started when I had both ovaries removed i.e. hormonal reasons but looking further back I suspect it was lurking around before that.

My mother has just started to show signs of dementia but we're right at the beginning of the journey as she has not yet acknowledged that she might have a problem. I live 160 miles away but my husband and I will consider moving closer if it becomes clear that she needs more help.

I've read it and really liked it - I had forgotten the Shakespeare connection though.
