Monday 5th July at UEL's Cass School of Education

Yesterday (Monday 5 July) Dr Bakari and Mrs Alfa visited the Cass School of Education at the University of East London (UEL) where African Diaspora and development day was held on Saturday.

Here is a short video's of the Cass School of education, shot with a small camera to show AFFORD volunteers the venue for African Diaspora and Development Day (AD3), at which Dr Bakari made his very effective presentation on Saturday.

36 evaluations had already been returned when we met for the plenary at 6 pm on Saturday. This was when Thelma Bowlay-Williams (Operations Manager of RemitPlus) made her call for people to remember to return their evaluations. When AFFORD reviews these evaluations, we shall be able to report what people said they would be doing as a result of attending AD3.

During their visit to the School of Education the team:

  • Reviewed their Calendar and activities for the rest of their visit to London using Google Calendar.

  • Proposed activities were added to the calendar so that Development Impact for Nigeria (DIFN)volunteers, and others, can follow their activities and plans.

  • In the process of reviewing their calendar, they looked at this blog and I agreed to add the links mentioned in the course of our discussions to the page.

  • Hopefully, the blog will help with reviewing the visit on their return to Nigeria next week.

  • We took an online tour of the University of East London (UEL) using the web site to visit:
..........- the services the university runs: to manage its business, for its students and for its staff;
..........- the 9 schools of the university and
..........- the programmes of study in the Cass School of Education.

  • In the course of our discussions about the programme for their visit, we went to Teacher's TV and discussed how we might use the permission we have obtained to download programmes to show in Nigeria.

We finished at about 1.30 when the team left UEL to go and meet with the Governor of Adamawa State Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako (Rtd.) who is also in London for a visit. We sent them home with some Nigerian food from our local 'Tasty'.
