Sovereignty is a foundational concept for the globally dominant systems of jurisprudence, international relations and governance. But this Western thinking about sovereignty is stuck in the European and colonial past, making it hard to deal with a whole range of urgent global and local challenges from climate change, to ecosystem protection and renewal, to honouring the wisdom of indigenous cultures.
Sovereignty’s expression in the theory of the nation state since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 and the sovereignty of the individual according to some readings of the US Constitution of 1787 have become inimical to the viability of our own species and many others as well.
A new conception of sovereignty vested in the Earth and asserting the preeminence of respect for the matrix of life, the integrity of the biosphere, and the inalienability of our global commons has become a necessity. The redefinition of Earth sovereignty as prior to and more fundamental than human agency would provide a basis on which to reframe all our doctrines of authority, justice and responsible governance. In this respect Australia’s indigenous knowledge systems and traditions of Caring for Country have much to teach the hegemonic cultures of crisis prone techno-industrial growth societies.
This symposium will invite a dialogue between four principal praxis streams within a context of indigenous understandings of human participation in and responsibility for the natural order.
The four praxis streams will be:
• Law, Governance and Politics
• Earth System Science
• Planetary Health
• Society and Culture
Particpation in the symposium will be by invitation following a call for expressions of interest. Participants may offer to present a paper, convene a panel, facilitate a roundtable or dialogue circle, or simply contribute to the deliberations.

Take your child to the next level with Object-Oriented Programming
This course focuses on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), a programming language model employed by most of the widely-used programming languages.
Students who wish to attend this course are expected to have a sound fundamental knowledge of Python programming. They will program and model advanced mathematical simulations, including modules to handle Integration and Differentiation (Taught in the GCE “O” Level “A” Math syllabus). Using OOP, they will also be challenged to develop modules based on Geometry, Fractions Manipulations and more.
Programming concepts taught in this course (OOP, Inheritance) are easily applicable to other languages such as C++, C#, PHP, Swift, and Objective-C, putting our students in good stead for further learning in both Mathematics and Programming.
Students must have completed S111: Python II and done sufficient lab practice in the S100P: Python Perfect lab series.
This 3-day course is held in CZECH and covers the software testing fundamentals, providing you with the necessary foundations for a software testing career. It is also useful for other IT professionals who wish to gain a knowledge of the terminology and processes of software testing.
This three-day course follows the ISTQB® Foundation Level syllabus (which can be downloaded free of charge from the ISTQB® website). Exam is not included in the price, it takes place several days after the course and we will be happy to assist you.
