time is now. Hey, somebody make a multi twitch with both of our streams, guys. Somebody make a multi twitch so y'all can watch both pack openings. This is going to be what weekend wheel is. You guys are familiar with the wheel. Basically, it's weekend league, but we spend this wheel to make it harder on ourselves. Things like pun on four down. You have to use a gold quarterback. You have to, you know, take out your you have to use a silver running back stuff like that. Different challenges on the wheel. We spend before every game we play. And this year, since we know that we wanted to do it, we're going to be starting our team from scratch with just one bundle each. The way that we upgrade our team throughout the year is going to be like based on rewards that we get from weekend from weekend league, obviously. And then we might have like things like rewards like say W has a better record this week than me. He might be able to like take a player off my team and he's on his team next week. So we could do stuff like that. You know, it's limitless as far as ideas go. And we're up for ideas as well as like stuff you guys want to see. So we are both going to be opening up a bundle right now. You already bought your points? I bought my points. My points locked and loaded. All right. Let me hold on. Let me go on here and buy some points real quick. We're doing 140 bundle, right? What's 140? I put 100 on there. I don't know what we're doing. That's what I mean. Yeah. I think the 40 packs is going to be best. Oh, 40 packs, three elite packs. It's $100. Yeah, that's what I put on there. I don't care what we do. I'm definitely going to post on the lease right here. Did you just see the bundle I pulled? I was going in between every time I look back, I saw red. So I just left and I was disappointed. I put my head down. I just see red, red, red. It was tough. It was that tough? I had 23 elites out of the 43 packs.   We should do squads with Dub and someone else. Yeah, we can do. Man, like I said, I'm planning on doing a lot of cool stuff this year. Something. Dub even grinding too. So I mean, like I said, y'all check out his channel. The multi twitch is there. All right. You have your bundle ready? You're on the 40. I'm on the blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub. All right, let me see. I thought he was going to legend fantasy. We're not doing that. What's the 40? All right, players. Oh, the hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. The what now? Eight times legend bundle. Why are we not doing that? That's that's not a card. That's what I mean. It was not going to be. We're not going to get enough cards probably. We do the bundle, the big if we do that bundle. We're not going to get enough cards probably. We do the bundle, the big if we do that bundle. How many cards is in that shit? I don't even see the eight times legend but hold on. I did. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, we're not going to get a lot of cards. I'll put a whole team out there but I mean, we could get better cards. We could do we could do let me see here. 5050 four times legend bundle and then 20. No, we can do the eight times legend bundle and then is there a smaller like 20 pack or something? I thought we'd do four times legend and then 20 gold premium bundle. That's the whole hundred. Oh, yeah. That's that's not the whole hundred. Almost more than that. No, it's not. You said the eight times. No, the four times legend and then we do the 20 gold. So we do the legend bundle and then we do the 20 gold. All right, let's do that. You want to do the gold first or do you want to do that? Let's go. Let's go gold with the babies first. You know what I'm saying? We're going to do them at the same time. I'm assuming. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm ready. I'm I just want the gold. We're guaranteed to want to leave too. I'm going to do this first pack man. These are our roster. This is our starting rosters for uh for weekend for weekend league, y'all. Weekend wheel.  You ready? I want to do the next one. Oh, I got a Suggs. 82 Suggs. He might start. He might start. Look, he's starting. He might start. I'm going on the third. Suggs might start. Alright, 77. I got four golds. That's all. I got one elite 81 Devante Parker. He might be tough. He's definitely starting. Alright, I'm on four. Definitely starting. No, next. Oh man. I wasted all my my pack on the other account. It's on the account where you ain't needed. Oh, I got Blake Bortles and Michael Crabtree. That's that's a starting tandem right there. That's going to catch a lot of touchdowns in weekend league right there. Bortles the Crabtree. I like it. Jesus. Damn on the next. I need at least like three elites in this in this 20. Michael Pierce the tackle. Fat guy clock it up so I don't get ran on a weekend league. I like it. He was pulling out of leaves. I'm on the next. Nothing. Same. Alright. Next. Team is. Hey, we got in the league. Come on. 86. Todd Gurley talk to me. Oh my god.  Jesus. Alright. What a car of that. I haven't even tried this car. Oh, Red. Casey Hayward 86 corner needed. Let's go. He'll make some plays for me. Hold on one second. Hold on one second. Alright. The Gurley guy. Alright. I'm ready for the next. Alright. So for the weekend league, players aren't allowed to use their muds. Yeah, we are but we're going to we're going to we challenge ourselves with what we call the weekend wheel and we're starting it with we're starting even with just one bundle basically. I got another elite center. Student has at least seven. I'm on the next. There's one for me 82 83 Lashama. You got two. That's good to run it back from over. We're able to sell cars though, right? I mean, yeah, we can do that. We can make your team do whatever it does. I don't care. I'm with that. I probably keep both of them in your life right now. It's not a bad pull though. Yeah, I'm on the next.  Alright. I don't even have like good goal players. See how many packs you got there? I think we're might be off. I have eight, eight left plus an elite. Is that right? Oh, I got Drew Breeze. Let's go. Y'all should be able to trade with each other. Oh yeah, that's kind of glitchy too. I don't know how many I got left because he likes McCoy. We could we could definitely I could definitely I got I got I got seven and an elite player. Alright, let me open up one more real quick. I have Crabtree. I don't need a Y receiver. I have McCoy. Alright, I'll give you Crabtree from McCoy. Alright, no. There's a nine. I need Crabtree and Alignment. Oh, you get all my linemen. Listen, you have all these red linemen.  Let's go. Hey man, someone over here. Got Crabtree and some linemen before you. I'm on the next. Oh, another corner. Two being Johnson. I got a secondary now. Alright, I'm ready for the next one. Yeah. McCoy and McCathrie could both play a slot for me if I need. Jesus, this is going to get rough. One of us playing fullback in my eye form, yo. I think this is girly apple. Girly fullback. Alright, next one. Next one. I might play red. Let's get it. Jerry Hughes the end. That's not bad. I feel like I have no defense. Next one. Alright, let's see. Michael Vic 83. Oh, he's playing. I don't care. 79 speed. Let's go. Yeah, let's do this. I just pulled Gino though. I got some big hitters in here. 86 overall Gino. That's a big pool. Lead of that. Yeah. For the middle, especially when we can leave. Yeah. 83 Vic. I have Breeze Bortles and Vic. I'm ready for the next. Yeah, we could power up play. We could do it. We just can't buy no more pack. Tyler, another quarterback. Who your quarterback? I got the quarterback for you, man. I send you a breeze. You seem like a breeze type. No, definitely not. You have the elite pack left. Is that it? No, I got gold. I'm opening the gold. Open the gold. I think the elite's the last for me. I know the elite's the last for me. You should be close to that. I got the elite fantasy or I got my man Myrick. I had an elite fantasy pack because I had two packs. I didn't open. Yes. Elite player pack. No team elite fantasy pack.  All right, I'm ready. Yeah, they were just all you had those from your account. All right, I'll open the elite John hit it from the back. Legend. Alex Smith. 85. I got all the quarterbacks in the world, man. I got a big I got 85. I mean, I got seven quarterbacks. All right, let's open up that other. We're doing the one for a legend bundle, right? Yeah. Let me know when you're ready. I got these net unauthorable players from this loyalty. Yeah, I had a couple too. I had a couple too. Did you use any of those or you just get rid of these shits? Yeah, we could just leave them in our binder. I guess I'm not using it's up to you. I don't care. I just got Brandon cooks. Yeah, cooks. I'm going to cook something whenever to help for training. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I'm just quick sell these guys because I could have cooks but yeah, I'll do the same. I don't know what this elite player is to also say let me know when you're ready for the four legend. I'm just quick selling these players. All right, guys, we both have five packs left for legends fantasy packs and then we guarantee legend we'll be at our more packs. Yeah, we'll both buy the special offer pack for 150. We will. We will at the end. That's the last one. Special offer. Mm-hmm. All right, I'm ready. Legend fantasy pack. We already qualified on both of our accounts. Are we really just automatic qualification? Wait, you didn't qualify? I didn't. I'm going to play right after this. I got Leukeakly Power up. Let's get it. Vic Beasley in the middle. 86 Darrell Williams. Second round. Second round special boys. Anthony Barr and your legend in the last round. Hey, hey. Rodney Hudson. Who's my who's my middle guy though? Who we taking? Let's get it. I got Dan. Sean Taylor. I got Rodney Hudson too. If you don't take Dan Jones. What's up, Bob? You ready for the next? Yeah. Well, let me go back to my... Call it. All right, I'll open the... I'll give you some red in the second round. Yeah, that's glitchy if you could pick up a red. Yeah, I ain't picked it. I got enough red as well. TJ White. Melvin Gordon. That's not bad. Michael Vic, 84. Maybe I could do the Vic set. I got two Vicks. I think I got to go with Vic. We got to go Moss, right? Because I have a million running backs. I got to go Moss. I don't think I have a running back. I think we got... I think we got to go Melvin Gordon. I'm going Gordon just in case I use him here. We're both going to look at both of our rosters right after this... Last few packs. We'll see what we both have. All right, I'm opening the next one. I'll open this one. Ooh, red in the second round. Mark Barron, let's go. 84, Melvin Ingram. Hutchinson or... Bang, bang. I feel like this pass rush might be the move. We don't have a... Well, we have Jesse James we can use if we have to. 84, Vic. You got two Vicks? I got two Vicks, yeah. So now we got two Vicks. I'm going to do the set. You get the real Vic. Are you looking at the guard? Is this where we're at right now? Is this where we're at right now? I want to just scroll to guard. I wanted to see what I had out there. Oh, my lord. All right. I'm opening it.  That was just rough. You started scrolling to guard. Oh, we got gold in the first round. There we go. Right tackle, baby. Come on. This one has to be good. Please. There we go. Your boy, Jesse Peter. There you go. That's it. James Winston. We picked up our two tackles. Steve, I'm going Freeman. All right. Last Legends pack. Let me know when you're ready. I'm just on Legends Player. Oh, yeah. That's all we got. It's just one player. Yeah, it's an 86. 89 Vic. 89 Vic. 83 Reggie White. Oh, my God. She me. 83 Reggie White. I got two Vicks in this bundle. All right. We can sell players, guys. Like I said, it's one bundle each. We can sell. Oh, you... Oh, yeah. Get the Elite Pack, W. Oh, the Elite Pack. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. They said it's 150. You should have the... Under Special Offers. Elite Player. All right. Let's get it. I'll get to pick one. All right. Mine was terrible. All right. I got a Quicksail card. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What do we want to do out here? Mine is so bad. I don't even have options. You got an 84. 86. He's 80,000 coins, y'all. Oh, my God. This is rough. I got cheated. What should we do? Get the coins? Just take Jenkins in and trade him over here.  I'm taking the coins, bro. We got some work to do on my roster. Jesus. All right. Let's both pull up our rosters. Let's generate the best lineup. Yeah, generate the best lineup. That was rough. Generate the best lineup. The best team overall. Okay. I'm 79. I'm 80. Oh, my God. Cheat me. Oh, my gosh. As of right now, before I make any changes, you want to make any trades? What you got? I got two running bags. You want a running bag? You want a bar? I know you like bar. I have multiple running bags. I know you like Anthony's bar. What's up? What do you got for him? No, I really need secondary.  Oh, my God. I got an 86 corner case of A-word in Jermaine Johnson. What do you have? You want these corners? You don't have nothing for me. What's up with Gino? Casey Hayward in Jermaine Johnson. What's Casey Hayward's overall? 86. He's a killer. And his speed? That's a strong 83. All right. McCoy for Hayward. Oh, McCoy? Is that what you put on the board? What about Gino?  Freeman and Melvin Gordon. They're both better than McCoy. And you know this. Wow, y'all hear him. I'm just negotiating. He sold out against his team. No, listen. Freeman and Melvin Gordon. I don't need a running bag. I have two linemen I'm getting rid of. I'm getting 80K for him. Are you selling Peters? No, I'm keeping Peters. Jesus. I'm selling this 80K. And then I have Conflin as well. No, I'm definitely going to sell. I'm going to buy this. Bar can go. Baron can go. All these guys can go. Sugs can go. You want Sugs? Terrell Sugs, man.  That's why trades are pointless. You guys think we should be able to sell stuff? Or no? I mean, I think there's a way we can show how we can make this one team work. I mean, the only coins we're going to get is on Weekend League. That's it. We're not going to play any games. We're not going to play any solos. Pretty much we're just going to be able to work with what we have here and put a team together. You know what I mean? And then, I don't know. I don't want to play with this team. This is what I think we should do. I don't think we should be able to sell the Silver's, Gold's, all that. But I do think right now, since we're just starting the team, I think we should be able to sell our extra players or whatever we want. Like, I have three running back. I should be able to sell the two that I'm not going to use. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, for sure.  I think it's going to be too easy if we're able to sell everything, though. As I would sell everything or sell nothing. Where do you draw the line? Is that a yes or a no? No, that's what I'm saying. We do it right now.  And we can only sell stuff that we have an excess of. Like, you have a lot of quarterback trades. Our two running backs have, like, three quarter backs, yeah. What's your thing, chat? I mean, this is just... This is looking dark right now. We got to play with these teams. Trades only? I say sell whatever sells, sell all, sell whatever sells. I say if we sell right now, I mean, that's the only time we're going to be a little crazy because then we're going to have a team that we're going to play with and we're going to get awards and maybe just buy a little bit each week. Because you figure if we turn, we're going to turn this in. I don't know how much I got, but we're going to turn it in. How about you could only sell elites? Well, first of all, I'm not selling. I'm not sitting here selling golds. I don't know what type of time you think I have with my hands. I'm going to sell all these elites. We could only sell elites. Well, I might quit selling all the golds and silvers for the training, right? I don't know why I wouldn't do that. We could sell all the golds for the training and sell the elites that you don't want. Sell, but it has to be the cheapest card up to avoid any donation. Yeah, we know that. We're not going to cheat. We're not going to cheat. I say we just do whatever we want. It's only going to take it. It ain't going to take that long. We sell all these cards and then we might have 500k and then you can make a little team. It's not like we're going to have the greatest players in the world. We're going to have a base team and then it's going to get crazy anyway with the wheel after the first weekend. It's going to be torn apart, really. Yeah, that is true too.  Let's just sell.  Yeah, I feel we just... And when we start on Sunday, we're going to say, boom, this is what my team looked like. Now, this is what I did in two days and then we start. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, say no more, bro. Bitches are already getting shipped over here. I believe it. This whole team will look different. Listen. Who are these guys?  Put that 80k up there in the top right. Jesus, I got 250 coins in the top right. Jesus. You're going to get coins for playing though. Once you play those games, they're going to give you coins. I earned 11k earlier. Yeah, I need to get in those games. All right, so we're going at noon. My time is 9am. Your time on Sunday. Yeah. Perfect. We're going to bang out all these games. We're playing all 25 on Sunday. Starting at 9am. My time. So we're going to need tons of wheel ideas though. All wheels are going to have to be crazy. I think we could almost have a game wheel and a team wheel.  Because it could really get wild. We got two separate spins. Just with your team. And the other one is for the gameplay. You know what I mean? Yeah, okay. Or we could put it all on one. You could have 50 different things on the wheel, honestly. And just like last year, if it says quick sell your best player, that might be or take five shots so you don't have to do it. That's going to get wild. I'm going to get me a little baby bottle of Patron. I'm going baby bottles. We're only going baby bottles. Quick sell your best player going to be rough. I'm telling you, it's going to be on there. Quick sell the best player. What's that? Put your ideas for the wheel, y'all. Quick sell your best player is already locked in. Throw some more ideas out there right now. No, empty your whole bank.  This guy go away. Boom. Somebody got to put a donut in it. Bang rough on there. And the big ones need a big shot. Cancel out. Five shots. That has to be at least five. All right. Player still, definitely a player still. Swap. So listen, for bank rough, bank rough is going to be, because we're going to use all our coins before we even get into the league, right? So it's not going to be nothing up there, right? Yeah, but that wheel is going to be all year at all. So like next week, we might have like 50k. And you know, in freaking December we might have 200k. You know what I mean? It's going to change. So that's something that could be there all year? Yeah, I'll get you. Oh, pick the playbooks. Swap bank accounts, let's see. Use all your training on opponent's choice player. Random playbook? Yeah, random playbook is definitely one of them. Yeah, that's an easy one. There's one that's going to be your opponent like, picks your playbook. That's always one of them too. That's going to be on there. Keep shooting ideas in the chat, guys. Pun on fourth down is definitely there. We're not doing the pun on third down, though.  No, the pun on third down is wild. You could take a shot and get out of it. You got to be able to pun on third down sometimes. That's the roughest thing to do.  No, it was not.  That's why it was rough. Yeah, true. Pun on third down is definitely wild. Kicker at fourth down. We're about to look at our team right now, guys. See what we want to get for real.  Oh, yeah. I got to play some games with this team. But we definitely got a lot of stuff to sell. I don't see one elite that's going to make my roster. And I have... I like our tackles, guys. I have 19 elites. Halfback straight. Halfback straight. I'd be cool with all gold, honestly. Give me an elite... elite trade. An up to overall player of your choice. That's kind of cool. Only pass play. Some of that stuff is easy. Play on aggressive, everything. No, you can't because then someone will just... if they find it, they just don't know you're going... you keep going off sides. Conservative, everything would be better than aggressive. Yeah, true. You can play on conservative, everything. All gold offense? Yeah, stuff like that is possible. Last year we did gold running back. The silver quarterback, I think. All gold receivers. We did it by position groups. All gold secondary, which is what I have right now. Gold line, yeah. Gold line all game. I think there was one that said you can't kick field gold. No field gold.  Steel card is definitely... that's definitely an option. Steel card or opponent drinks 3 shots. Steel card? Yeah, we could definitely do that one. Can't buy any new players for next weekend? That's a good one. If you get inside the 10, you got to take 3 right away. Basically, you got to score a TD from outside the 10. Yeah, that could definitely be one too. That's hard to remember. Partner at QB? That's too wild. Well, for ideas. We're going to be working on these teams. We both have our teams ready for Sunday. Definitely just wanted to introduce it to you guys how we're doing this. Yeah, this is going to be something that we can do all throughout the year. Me and W are starting it off, obviously. If we ever want to add in somebody, we can get them into it with them buying a bundle or something. But as of right now, they even ask me or anything like that. So, me and W are going to do this. It's called Weekend Wheel. It's going to start this Sunday. Make sure you all tune in. 9 a.m. Pacific, noon, Eastern. All 25 games are going to be played. And we're going to see who does the best. We will have some liquor, alcohol with us. There are challenges that say you have to take a shot for every touchdown your opponent scores. Jesus. It's going to be a long day. It should be dope. Yeah. So, W, he's streaming right now too. So, make sure you all follow him. We'll link up Sunday then. I'll be ready. 12 o'clock, man. I'm going to get this team right. I'm not going to level one and mutt. So, I'll play these games right now. Yeah, fight. That was the Weekend Wheel. That's what we're doing. This is the team I have. I have to play these games to be able to sell. I'm pretty much going to sell everybody on this team right now. Pretty much. They probably already got 500k. I believe it. But I feel like I got a lot of coins here. I got a nice little team right here. Because these guys, at least these guys can get me. I think this top row right here can probably get me 200k, right? I'm not going to work with 200k. You know what I mean?  Yeah, but I got to turn this team in. I'm going to update you guys on what I do with this team. I'm probably going to sell everybody. I might keep breeze. Because I'm going to need a quarterback. Maybe I'll get wins. I don't know who I'll get. Honestly, if I quick sell all my silver and gold, I might get power up, Vic. You know what I mean? So, yeah, Weekend Wheel is going to be a lot of fun this year. Make sure y'all tune in. I don't know if we're going to do it every Sunday. It might be a Saturday. It might be a Friday thing. Whatever it may pop off is going to be here. So make sure you stay tuned to the Twitch and stay tuned to the YouTube. I'm going to update it with pretty much everything that we do on here. I'm going to probably sell all these players. I'll look back and Weekend Wheel team update. I might have a Weekend Wheel team update whenever I do something major. But the next thing you do, you'll see this team I have.  And then I'll proceed and show you who I pick up, who I'm going to go ahead and start the Weekend Wheel with. And that's who I was going to be. So like I said, hit the like, hit the comment button if you're going to be excited for Weekend Wheel or if this is something you're going to get into, something you want to follow closely. Because I know me and Proms is trying to keep it really fresh, keep mad and really excited for all y'all watching, whether it be just playing or having fun with it. We can League because I know it's stressful when we can League playing all these guys, so we're going to have a good time with this. So like I said, hit the like button, comment on what you think. Comment on what you guys think should be on the Wheel. That's what we need. Good ideas for the Wheel, that's the move. But all right y'all, stay tuned for the update on what I do with this team.


Hello everyone and welcome to the 1.30pm session in the content and community track. As a reminder to our in-world and web audience, you can view the full conference schedule at conferenceopensimulator.org and tweet your questions or comments to atopensimcc with the hashtag OSCC14. This hour we are happy to introduce a terrific session called the Camelot Project, Language Learning with Machinima in Virtual Worlds. Our speaker today is Michael Thomas, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. His research interests are in e-learning and language education with specific interests in learner collaboration using computer mediated communication. He is the lead and founding editor of two book series, Advances in Digital Language Learning and Teaching and Digital Education and Learning. From all, let's begin the session. Okay, thank you everyone. So I'm going to talk about an EU funded project called the Camelot Project. It started in December 2013 and runs until November 2015 and I'm the coordinator of this project and it has nine European partners and we have around about 12 affiliate partners and now over 30 network partners. I'm going to talk about the motivation for the project. It really derives from the Lisbon key competencies which underline the importance of language learning, online learning and intercultural communication among its key priorities. With ever increasing widening participation in education and the turn towards open access in educational resources, it's important to identify new ways of engaging language learners and learners in general utilizing new pedagogies and new technologies to motivate learners in the pursuit of lifelong education. The motivation of the Camelot Project, which stands for creating machinima to empower live online language teaching and learning, derives from this network of key factors. Moving pictures, sounds, stories are becoming one of the most powerful ways of communicating learning content in the digital age. An increasing number of learners today across all educational sectors use digital video as the favorite means of communication. YouTube for example has become the second most popular online community after Facebook and the second largest search engine after Google. Not only as a tool of self-expression but also as a tool for learning. Camelot derives from the shared interest of the partners, the consortium partners, the network partners in the use of the new generation of cost-effective digital video tools and applications to enhance the student experience in a European Union language learning context. Compared to language learning conversations recorded with traditional technologies, there's a distinct difference in the case of recording in virtual worlds such as Second Life. In the latter, learners can join online environments and navigate to the virtual site where the videos were shot and reenact the conversations with avatars at hand. This is independent of the location where the learners connect. This is why the process can be referred to as a live video production. So the distinctive foresight of Camelot are evident in four main development areas. So language learning in authentic virtual environments with a task-based approach, so we really focus on task-based language learning which derives from an experiential school of learning. We focus on real-time animation, video production, we engage in field testing the machinima across four educational sectors, that is the school sector, the higher education sector, adult education and vocational education, and we produce a teacher training course and we pilot test the teacher training course as well. So machinima can record authentic conversations in situated learning contexts and it derives from digital storytelling and a lot of research that's taking place in that field. So digital storytelling and emoting, that's a way of expressing action in the third person singular, often using role-play, these are important new skills that learners and teachers acquire in the process of actually creating machinima. So the technical challenges of producing real-time animated videos in three-dimensional environments are manifold. Traditional film production techniques include recording, camera control, editing, storyboarding, costume design, designing settings and drafting scripts. So prerequisite is familiarization with the 3D environment and it's inherent technical challenges of navigating avatar movements, etc. So after editing, machinima are uploaded to video sharing sites such as YouTube's or video for example. Interestingly such ubiquitous sites help exploit the creative content because these videos can then be played even on mobile devices by interested learners. So in Camelot the field test phase will involve a number of data partners in various educational sectors with the goal of determining the best use of machinima. It needs and challenges that we face in the Camelot project. So while digital video presents learners and educators with numerous educational opportunities, Camelot is also aware of the technological and pedagogical challenges, especially in terms of presenting the structured and meaningful use of ICTs. So Camelot takes up the challenge of video as a new language of learning and proposes to train and equip language educations in particular to produce authentic target language conversations in a visually appealing way that is motivating and highly engaging. So Camelot uses machinima to create cinematic productions. The technology produces 3D computer graphics in real time and is already used in video games and virtual worlds. In these digital environments the avatars take the roles of actors and the stage is provided by computer generated imagery. The camera used to record the interaction of the characters is screen recording software making these productions highly cost effective. The finished videos which are often highly sophisticated narratives based on intricate tasks planning by the learners can be disseminated to learners and teachers as video podcasts. So this is a more appealing genre than audio only resources. So the aim of Camelot then is not simply to provide visually appealing authentic conversations in the target language that teachers can readily use but to provide the know-how both technological and pedagogical for teachers to create and adapt their own machinima to their own particular teaching environment. So by providing example materials as indicators of the potential for language learning and training guidelines both concerning the technical practicalities necessary to create machinima and how to use them the Camelot project will provide a range of educational benefits. It is fit for purpose because teachers can create learning environments for their own students. It focuses on learner autonomy for students learn and practice at their own pace. It focuses on empowering learners because learners can try a new language without feeling self-conscious within a three-dimensional virtual environment which is quite anonymous in many respects. It focuses on collaborative learning because teachers and students can jointly create these environments and jointly create machinima and it's low cost and yet high quality video productions that we actually produce at the end of the process. So by addressing these five areas Camelot combines cutting-edge technology with an innovative task-based language teaching approach. So Avalon in many respects Camelot actually builds on a previous project called Avalon which took place in 2009 and 2010 and Avalon had outcomes in four main areas. It provides scenarios designed to encourage communication and toolkit to enable learners to make best use of materials within three-dimensional virtual worlds. It provided a training course and a school where the course could be taken. In the technical area it provided a 2D and 3D platform which was able to host a community of participants who could either learn languages or engage and teach education. And finally it made available a series of reports, presentations, a blog, web page and various other dissemination activities, creating a community for language educators. So Camelot in many ways builds on the Avalon project and it does this in four main ways. It provides structured and creative opportunities for learners and teachers to use immersive worlds. It extends the pedagogical potential of immersive environments by allowing learners to create videos in the target language and then experience authentic cultural artifacts. For example by creating and recording a dialogue in French, by actually visiting Paris within a virtual environment. Number three it promotes the know-how of live video production to a community of educators and finally it attempts to cascade teacher autonomy by powering them with the relevant pedagogical and technological know-how. So the use of immersive digital games and virtual environments has led to an increasing amount of research in the field of education over the last five or six years. Developing from this potential educators are now considering how the use of recording video production that is Machinima can be used to stimulate task-based learning. How it can be used to stimulate learner motivation and engagement in authentic contexts. So Camelot deals with the use of Machinima that is recorded videos made in the virtual environment such as Second Life or a digital gaming environment specifically related to the under-researched area of language learning. So Machinima is a Portmanteau word that combines cinema and machine refers to filming actions, role plays and dialogues between 3D virtual characters. So learners and instructors engage in a wide variety of creative preparation and planning tasks such as rehearsing, scripting and storyboarding. Users can then edit and refilm where appropriate to construct a complex and sophisticated video narrative that is potentially of immense value in many ways in a variety of fields that equips the users with a variety of technical digital literacy skills as well as presenting opportunities for language practice in the target language. An impressive array of Machinima resources have already been developed. For example there's the SL Shakespeare Company which provides an excellent example of the power and creativity of Machinima. You also have an impressive and extensive array of Machinima in digital gaming contexts of course. So these examples demonstrate that users can quickly learn the skills required to make complex and powerful Machinima. The technology is accessible and educators do not require complex programming skills. What's important however is that in order to exploit the potential of Machinima, language educators require a structured relationship with technology and to understand the pedagogical potential. So the Camelot project specifically addresses this gap in existing research. So a number of Machinima techniques have been identified and Camelot explores these specifically in the context of language education. These include puppetry that is game characters are manipulated to perform actions according to a screenplay which is recorded in real time for later editing. You have recamming builds on the puppet approach and combines it with recording or re-recording. Additional characters might be added, lights changed or cameras moved for example. And you also have scripting which involves programming the game's characters to perform in a particular and specific way as well as of course simple recording of what actually appears on the screen. So the value of Machinima is in building connections between people who feel strong affiliation with digital worlds and those who are new to them as well. That's a key point. So the appeal of Machinima is the range of skills that can be learned as well as the rich variety of ideas that can be explored. So Camelot also obviously has the ambition of trying to get people into three-dimensional virtual environments in order to experience this potential. So creating authenticity in the language classroom has long been a challenge. Obviously it's directly related to the communicative language teaching approach and the task-based language teaching approach as well. But with Machinima learners and instructors can design backgrounds, environments, film sets and locations as well as the costumes that are required to make roleplays realistic. And this gives learners opportunities to explore the languages that sorry the languages they are learning in a real world context. So utilizing technical skills, learners can occupy a range of roles from sound engineer to actor and set designer. So we move in many respects from a task-based approach into a project-based approach as well. Learners have been assigned different tasks within the project from like we said from director to sound engineer to editor to people who write the script to actors for example. So everybody's engaged in this collaborative authentic experiential engagement with the target language. In terms of aims and objectives then Camelot has a series of aims and objectives which we can identify. So aims to create and test Machinima but are designed to promote language learning, intercultural exchange as well as digital literacy skills. So it's not just focusing on target grammatical structures but trying to inculcate a range of other skills. Trying to develop learners' socialization intercultural skills and technical skills. So Camelot stores the Machinima in open access repositories. That's a big commitment that we have to sharing the resources that we make to enable language learners instructors and teacher trainers to use to reuse and to share these digital films during the life cycle of the project. So we aim to make this a sustainable project as well. So along with the language-related Machinima there will be guidelines about how to create them in immersive environments. Camelot creates an online community of practice around Machinima promoting their benefits among a broad cross-section of educational sectors and disseminates good practice via a wide range of academics and practitioners. Camelot intends to impact national policies in the area of language learning in relation to intercultural communication, digital literacy skills, raising awareness of creative and flexible forms of learning, and the potential of immersive virtual environments to promote tele-collaboration and networking between educators across the European Union in the first instance. The video recordings aim to promote intercultural communication opportunities for learners from different cultures to co-produce digital artifacts that can be shared and reused. It attempts to stimulate rich and meaningful intercultural exchanges among language learners and this is one of the key consequences of the project. It aims to explore the role of visual communication techniques, to support language conversation in relation to new digital environments that younger learners in particular utilise to great effect outside traditional learning environments. So rather than merely focusing on the gaming experience within 3D environments, Camelot examines how they support genuine opportunities for structured communication and deep learning by allowing learners to visit the in-world environments they are actually discussing. So Camelot contributes to changing the previous field of operation by demonstrating how Machinima can lead to genuine communication acts that take place at a distance. Exploring the creative potential of immersive worlds offers learners an effective experience beyond the classroom, linking it to the real world and providing a social network which is engaging for learners. So Machinima tries to empower language teachers to record conversations in a variety of languages and Camelot foregrounds the importance of stimulating language learning in less commonly used European languages. Although e-learning is more accessible than for previous generations of instructors, it remains nevertheless far too marginal within educational institutions across the European Union. So Camelot empowers language teachers to see the benefits of e-learning and promotes cost effective and creative ways to engage in multimedia learning material design and creation. So while Machinima has become popular to pockets of specialists within the immersive worlds environments and that kind of research area, Camelot is concerned with transferring the knowledge into the mainstream showing how it can be used to promote learners' cognitive and analytical skills and immersive language learners in creative approaches in the language learning process. So Camelot also promotes teacher autonomy and professional development, prompting a reconsideration of the role of instructors and how they provide a blended approach that facilitates and guides language learning rather than adopting an overly prescriptive approach. Focusing on the added value of the Camelot project then. So Camelot promotes cooperation among teachers and teacher trainers, policymakers, administrators and learning technologists across the four educational sectors that I previously identified in order to research new ways of utilizing digital videos for language learning. And building on this objective, Camelot produces guides in multiple languages to facilitate the creative and creative use and reuse of digital video production, in particular in relation to Machinima and digital video creation. So Camelot adds value to the European language learning context so its foundational commitment to advancing open educational resources, open courseware and creative commons licensing. This commitment to transparency in core production will be reflected in many of our dissemination activities. We currently have a webinar series which has just started. The next webinar will be with Randall Sadler from the University of Illinois. For example, he'll be talking about a Machinima project that he's undertaken with young learners. So we have a wide variety of dissemination activities that you can take a look at if you go to our website. You can also, of course, become a network partner of the Camelot project if you're interested in collaborating with us and extending our knowledge and teacher training materials and resources outside of the European Union and around the world. So one of the strongest aspects of Camelot then is its live appeal. So language learning is not an add-on to the curriculum. It should lie at the very heart of the curriculum across all four sectors that I've identified. So Camelot uses immersive online environments to enable live communication between learners from different member states in the EU, promoting opportunities for learners to interact and speak to one another. So it has a strong emphasis on telecollaboration. Now, so these are mainly the key points. In terms of the expected impact of the project, so the impact of Camelot is targeted at a number of areas like we've seen focusing, in particular on the European language learning community, but like I said, we hope to transfer this knowledge more widely throughout the course of the project as well as after the project when we enter the exploitation phase and we cover, like I say, all those four areas. We cover the Erasmus program, the Comenius sector, Grundwig and Leonardo da Vinci, if you're familiar with these particular sectors in the European Union, lifelong learning program. So assuring the impact of the project and measurable outcomes is a top priority of the project. The synergies between practical language learning skills, digital literacy skills, learner creativity, collaboration and innovative pedagogy through the use of creative commons licensing and open educational resources, these make Camelot a very distinctive networking community. We have a strong commitment to open resources in particular, as well as an online social networking community. And this attempts to situate the project at the cutting edge of innovation that helps us to bring the project closer to communities of language learners and language educators. So we aim to make Camelot an inclusive project. It's committed to dialogue, to intercultural communication and linguistic diversity. It uses web 2 and social media technologies, virtual online environments and open educational resources and promotes interactive and collaborative task based pedagogies. This inclusive approach utilizing innovative ICTs will continue after the lifecycle of the project. We've developed a project website that you can take a look at. We have multiple social media channels, for example, syndicated content. We have a dedicated YouTube channel as well. We've developed an online social networking community for teachers and learners. And we participate in other relevant online social networks as well. We attend and present at many European conferences. And we engage in monthly activities as well as disseminating our newsletter and webinar series. So that is an overview of the main aspects of the Camelot project. And like I say, we are now into, well coming up to the end of year one, we've engaged in creating Machinima in a variety of languages in Czech, in English, in Polish and in German. And we are now moving ahead into the field testing phase. We are looking for field testing partners. If anybody out there is interested in field testing Machinima and joining with us in order to create suitable and appropriate lesson plans, we'd be very grateful to hear from you. So the field testing phase is in operation now and runs until January, February time. From December, we start to create our online language teacher training course to help educate language teachers to make and produce their own Machinima. And we already have a, in MOOC, we've called it a Machinima open online course or MOOC actually Machinima open online training course.  And you can learn all the different techniques concerned with producing Machinima from storyboarding all the way through to actual video production. So it runs as an autonomous MOOC if you like, a massive open online training course. And it also runs as a facilitated course as well. And the next course that will be facilitated will be in January. And you can sign up for this on our website if you wish. And the training course starts in December and continues into year two of the project. And we will continue throughout year two to create Machinima in a variety of different environments in second life. Also exploring, of course, using open sim. And in particular, we like to focus on the use of Minecraft as well in relation to young learners. We think that is one of the areas where this potentially has, that potentially has something that can be used and be taken forward in the school sector in a variety of languages. So I think I've given you an overview of the Camelot Project. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to take them. If you're interested in being one of our network partners, please take a look at our website. If you Google Camelot Project EU, you will find a website and you can sign up there for our massive open online training course as well as become a network project partner if you wish. So if you have any questions, please let me know. Be happy to take any questions. There's a couple of questions in the chat. Yeah, I'm just trying to read them there. How much time do students spend on learning? What we're trying to do is to define this whole area of Machinima production and obviously it's a kind of continuum. At one end of the scale, you have high production. If you like, it takes a long time. People want to invest a lot of time in creating really detailed, sophisticated Machinima and obviously that can be quite time-intensive. In many respects that presents barriers to educators, I think, and particularly to students. But at the other end of the scale, what we really want to emphasize is that anybody can make Machinima and do it very quickly by going in world. This could be a team project, taking it through from the storyboarding phase. In a language learning context, they can do that quite quickly. In order to use screen recording software, I think it's something that learners can pick up very, very quickly within a matter of a couple of hours. Basically, it is really a case of focusing on getting learners into the three-dimensional virtual environment, whether that's a digital gaming environment where they may already be, in many respects, and just getting them to actually learn by doing and trying to take away all of the obstacles that prevent them from doing that. It's really focusing on getting them to do it very, very quickly and with minimum challenges from a technical point of view. Obviously, from a school sector point of view, in the UK and in Europe, Second Life presents certain issues in terms of firewalls and things like that. What we really are waiting for in terms of Machinima production is the movement of digital environments into browser settings where you take away many of these restrictions and they have access directly via a 3D browser into an immersive environment. Sorry, I don't know if there have been any other questions there. If you want to take your questions out there, I'll see if I can respond to them. Or maybe you can repeat them for me, Ruby, if I didn't get that. Yeah, I think there's a couple of questions. One of the question is, you will provide a course for teaching students to build a virtual world and make Machinima. How long are these courses? And another one asks about your budget at EU. Well, the course that we have is, like I say, we call it a MOOC or a Moot, but we've replaced, I think, massive with Machinima. Machinima open online training course. So at the moment, we have one segment and it's actually five weeks long and it's aimed specifically at teachers. So that's what we aim to do in the first instance is to provide a teacher training course. And that focuses on the technical aspects of it at the moment. And we hope to develop two further modules at least, which focus on the pedagogy. So we imagine that this teacher training course, which will be offered entirely online for free, will consist of at least three five week blocks of teaching materials aimed at teachers and making them proficient in the first instance. Another one asks, how is Camelot organized and who is doing what? How is it organized? Well, take a look at our website and you can see all the different deliverables in the projects. And you can see all the different work packages that we have and which of the partners actually coordinate the different work packages. So I think if you're really interested in that, have a look at our website and that gives you more information about the consortium and their particular responsibilities in the project. Yeah. Any other questions? Another one says, you were talking about future development and open cinema. I'm actually working in an open sim environment run by the Italian department of education. So might I use it after following the moot course? Moot, of course. Yeah, of course. Definitely. Yeah, we aim to produce, you know, guidelines, as it were, that could be transferred across a range of immersive digital environments. We don't want to overly focus on second life, for example. We certainly would like to develop a lot more materials in open sim. And if you're doing that already, I think that would be great if you could get in touch with us and we certainly like to collaborate on that. I think, like I said, I identified these different sectors that we focus on adult education, university education, school education or vocational education. I think there are challenges in all of these areas in relation to using machinima in in a language learning context or using machinima in an educational context. One of the areas I find that has the biggest potential is the school sector. And through, for example, Minecraft, I think that is something where we would like to investigate a lot more. But yeah, definitely, if there are people out there working in Italian, we would certainly be very interested in working with you, maybe as a data partner, as a network partner, and looking at what you're doing in open sim and seeing if we can develop some synergies there. Someone else asked about the budget. I don't know if you have a specific question you have on that. The project itself is worth €489,000, so nearly half a million euros in total. Any other questions? Is there anything you'd like to close with, Michael? Well, like I said, Camelot project is ongoing. We're nearly up to the one-year mark at the moment. We're entering the most exciting phase, if you like, of field testing. And like I say, if you're really interested in this particular project, please get in touch with us. Have a look at our website, camelotproject.eu, and we'd be happy to collaborate with you. And maybe we can report back next year, and we can report some of the findings that we have based on our data. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you, Michael, for a terrific presentation. As a reminder to our audience, you can see what's coming up on the conference schedule at conference.opensimulator.org. In this room, the next session will be the new association for grid owners with Mark Wiseman and Terry Ford at 2.30 p.m. Thank you again to our speaker and the audience. We'll be back shortly with the next session.


I'm Terry Toyoda with the World Economic Forum and I'm very delighted to welcome you all to this inaugural Sustainable Development Impact Summit event convened here in New York alongside the UN General Assembly. We're particularly excited about this new and unique event that will help move progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals as well as the Paris Climate Agreement. We really aim to showcase and expand some of the best examples of innovative solutions and partnerships that harness public-private cooperation and the creative technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And today I'm honored to be joined by my co-chairs for the summit, which I will introduce briefly in a moment. We'll hear from each one of them regarding their hopes and aspirations for the meeting. Also let me start with, to my left, Afsane Beslach, Founder and CEO of Rock Creek Group. Next to her, Madam President Garib Fakim, President of Mauritius, Marianne Jammet, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Spot 1 Global Solutions, and Stefan Loven, Prime Minister of Sweden. We're delighted to welcome them all to this summit and look forward to hearing from each one of you shortly. After all, each of the co-chairs speak. We'll have some time for questions and answers from the floor. And I will ask that all of you keep to the theme of the Sustainable Development Impact Summit in your questions. There will be time, I'm sure, to catch up with these individuals to speak about their individual organizations or portfolios separately. So Afsane, let me start with you. Financing has been one of the most pressing and hot topics, let me say, since the Sustainable Development Goals were launched. We've heard a price tag of somewhere between $2.5 trillion to $4 trillion. This is a lot of financing. Tell us how this platform might be useful to mobilizing additional capital to support this implementation. Thank you, Theri. And I wanted to thank you. I'm very thrilled to be here with this great group of co-chairs. And I'm looking forward to the next two days, especially the reason I'm very excited about the meetings over the next two days is because we'll be talking not just at a very high level about the debate about SDGs, but actually how do we implement them. And financing, obviously, has been one of the reasons that things have either moved or not moved. If we just sort of put the SDGs, as you said, sort of three, four billion, sorry, three, four trillion, have to use the right number in perspective, if you look at the size of total markets globally, they are around $120 trillion based on our estimates at Rockbeek. So if you think about that sort of situation, and that is increasing around three to four percent, so actually just around the amount that we're talking about for the SDGs, it's a very different number than, let's say, my previous employer, World Bank or Multilaterals. When you add up those numbers, those are in the billions, you know, maybe a hundred billion if you add all the multilaterals, and let's not forget those are gross numbers. So you really need a very, very close partnership and collaboration between private sector and public sector and civic society and individuals and academia. However, you also need to make sure that the financing is at the global level, at the regional level and at the local level and the individual level. Let's not forget there's going to be 30 to 40 trillion of assets of baby boomers that are going to transfer over the next 20 to 30 years to the next generation. They have very different aspirations in terms of the subject of this summit. And in terms of financing, the only other thing I wanted to mention, Terry, is that when you look at sort of the investment world, there are two groups of people.  The other group who knows that there will be returns, that group is having a problem because the data is scattered, very difficult to find the data, and that's why one of the initiatives that we are starting is to create a marketplace for sustainable and impact. Great, thank you very much. And the numbers definitely necessitate the need for a public, private cooperation here. Great, thank you very much. So, Madam President, Afzane, laid out the kind of what's needed to invest in countries. How do you invest in people and what have you found most effective in leadership of your country? Thank you very much, Terry. Again, thank you for the invitation. It's great to be here and great to be also at this forum in New York next to the assembly. I think Afzane has touched on two very important issues. First of all, the issue of investment. And the other issue that she has touched on is institution. And I think if we are going to make a dent in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to invest in both. We need to invest in the people and we, of course, need to create those institutions that will end up giving us credible data. Because if you don't get credible data, you cannot develop the right policies. And the continent I come from, if you look at all the indicators, there is a dearth for real big capacity building in all sectors, especially in the stems. I think this is where we need to empower the women. And I will be cliche here, and I think if we look at the issue of food security, I would be very blunt to say that women feed Africa. And so this is where we need to bring on board a lot of capacity. Now, how do we tackle this? I come in this space being an academic, being an entrepreneur. So I know the impact of quality research, translating into the space of entrepreneurship, translating the space of development. And how do we engage with philanthropies as well, so as to actually cross the valley of death and create more impact based on academic research? So based on this, from this background, this is where I decided to chair the Coalition for African Research initiative. And this is being led at the global level with big names like the Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, the USNIH. And more importantly, it is not to be driven only by donors. And this is where we're trying to get on board African philanthropists and also government. Because while donors provide us with the seed capital, we still need the sustainability, and this is rightly the word, to maintain, sustain this effort. And this is where we need government. And government need to come on board with the percentage. I'm not going to give any figure, but we know that the desired figure will be the famous 1%. But to go with the Africa strategy of 2063, get government to bring, but of course, bring these African philanthropists who want to invest in that space, but they need to do it through credible people, through credible people who are empowered. And I think this is the kind of narrative that we'd like to see emerge from the continent, but notwithstanding the fact that they also come from an island state. And here, we're talking about the climate change, we're talking about the Paris Agreement. And again, we come back again to the issue of funding because these are global issues, global challenges, requiring national, of course, regional approaches to tackle these. Excellent. Thank you very much. And connected to that, I would say, Marianne, you embody many of the aspects that we've been speaking to about the need for entrepreneurship, the investment in girls and technology. Tell us what this summit means to you. Thank you, Teri. I'm so honoured to be here. So my name is Mariam Jam. I'm from Senegal. I'm a young global leader. I was born in 1974. And the reason why I'm telling you that date is because I'm data. I'm here as a... I stand here as a testimony that being poor, being uneducated, being marginalised, being trafficked, is not a barrier to stop you from feeling your dreams and be successful in life. And learning how to code unlocked that for me. This summit is so important. I've been working on the MDGs and the Sustainable Development Goals for over 20 years. I was a recipient of aid. I'm going to tell you three things. First, a little bit about my story. Second, why I'm committed to the Sustainable Development Goals. And third, why I am the code, is the answer to have girls and women as active participants to the Sustainable Development Goals. I was born in 1974, as I said earlier. I was trafficked to Paris when I was 14 years old. I never had any education. I was in the hands of NGOs, all my childhood, orphanages in Senegal. Today, I'm a successful businesswoman in London.  The second, why I'm committed to Sustainable Development Goals. This platform is an amazing platform. It's the first time that the World Economic Forum engaged through Sustainable Development Goals. Because Sustainable Development Goals is for people, is about people, young women like me who was growing up in Senegal with no education. I started reading and writing when I was 16. I learned how to code seven languages in two years in the South East of England, in Starbucks, in my local library. Those Sustainable Development Goals mean so much to me because I know that young girls growing up in Africa today or in Mauritius, wherever they are, they can have an opportunity to learn. This is the book I learned how to code 10 years ago. 10 years ago, I learned my first language of how to code HML. Today, I am the code, it's in 7,000, 7,000 people. I am the code, I've reached 7,000 young women and girls. So that's why I am here today. And in conclusion, what I would like to do is for us to think about partnerships. We are the first organization that I am the code, it's the first organization teaching Chinese girls how to code. The Sustainable Development Code is not just for us, but it's for all of us around the world. How do you make sure goal number four is affecting young girls? Goal number five, gender equality. All these goals are really important. And so I want to thank the World Academy for giving me this platform to chair this. I'm here, I'm talking from my heart because they mean a lot to me. And I hope that the press will take that one. It's really moving and inspirational story, so thank you for sharing that. And I'm sure that there's many personal journeys that you'll inspire and motivate, so thank you. Prime Minister Levin, you've also been a tremendous champion since the beginning of the SGG, particularly on the implementation and on the action orientation. So I know you are an initiator of the informal high level group on implementing the Agenda 2030. You also launched last year at the General Assembly, the Global Deal, this social dialogue for improved working labor markets. So tell us, what does this summit mean for you and what's the opportunity? Thank you. First, let me say I'm also very proud to be here as a co-chair together with these three colleagues, both a political leader, but not least also important non-state actors. I believe we have so many possibilities with the Agenda, but we need to work together. Politicians and civil societies, enterprises, and so on. Of course, we as political leaders, we carry perhaps a particular responsibility for implementing the 2030 Agenda, but we can only succeed if we mobilize jointly together. I'm convinced of that. Some of us political leaders, we came together in 2015 to, we wanted to make a push for the implementation and to do whatever we could do to make it happen fast, as fast as possible. 2030 sounds like a long, long time. It is quite a long time, but time flies very quickly and there's so many challenges that we had. And we wanted to give it a flying start and here are some of the experiences that we have now from working with the 2030 Agenda and the implementation. And I hope that could inspire others as well. I hope that everyone during these two days now will explore new partnerships as well as innovative approaches, as well as effective policies so that our efforts can have much more impact. And one such impact, a real impact, is the SDG, especially on SDG 8, is social dialogue. I think, I don't think I'm convinced that social dialogue is crucial to make things happen. So together with the OACD and the ILO and with several countries, enterprises, trade unions, we have launched a global initiative on how to strengthen the social dialogue, the collaboration between employers and employees and the employees organizations and for governments to support because I know that social dialogue, enhanced social dialogue, will benefit decent work, yes, but it will also increase productivity in enterprises and by that it will also strengthen these societies and we know that the labor market will be key to shaping our societies, how we manage the continued globalization which it'll be there, it will happen, but we have to make it happen in such a way that everybody feels, yes, I'm also on board, I also have a good future in the globalized world. So social dialogue is a win for workers, it's a win for enterprises and it's a win for societies, it's a win, win, win and I look forward also to the global deal session here later in the plenary. We did launch also a new research project if you want to take part of that on how social dialogue actually affects business because that is something we need to look into more and I know from my own experience with the good social dialogue, businesses will also win and I look forward to more of businesses to contribute also to that perspective. Thank you so much. Fantastic and I think stressing the urgency is a very critical point. So now we will open up the floor. We'll ask you if you've got a question or something on your mind to raise your hand, I'll be calling on a number of you at the same time and then turning over to our panelists. So please, in the front. Thank you so much. Please also state your name and where you're from. Thank you. My name is, thank you, Excellencies. My name is Irene Hel, I report for Newsbit Middle East and I want to thank you all for your big efforts to get the goals going. My question goes to the Prime Minister and you're an example, so it's possible to work your way up from the bottom to the very top and you've been a union man all your life, fighting for social justice, now you fight for the goals. How do you experience when you go to the UN and meet all the world leaders, the atmosphere? Did it change, is there hope? And now you talk to the business community very much so and this is all a business community thing, like you are working very hard too. So can the business community fix what governments fail? And what is the biggest thing you're doing? What are you most proud of? Thank you so much. Thank you. We'll just take a few questions and then we'll give you. Yes, sir. Thanks, Mark Engelhardt of the German News Agency. Probably my question to you, Ms. Bufloss, is pretty much the same just the other way around. I'd like to know, this morning we heard at the UN General Assembly, Amina Mohammed saying not enough is being done so far. What is the interest of the industry side and why do you think they should come forward with trillions which are needed? And then lastly, why discuss this in this particular forum, the World Economic Forum and not, for instance, in the global compact which is already there? What's the benefit or what's the idea behind that? Thanks. Thank you. Other questions? Yeah? Okay. Mr. Prime Minister, would you like to start? First, is there hope? Yes. When we decide upon this agenda, I could feel yes. I mean, we have a situation in the world that is very dramatic, problematic. The climate change, all the conflicts that we see, refugees, we have widening gaps between rich and poor. That is definitely challenges, huge challenges. At the same time we've seen that the middle class is grown in the world. So more and more people are getting out from the extreme poverty. Nine out of 10 boys and girls go to school today that didn't happen 20 years ago. So we have plus and minus. But there's one thing we know, we need to work together and I'm talking globally now. That's what we must assure in the global economy. We need to work together so much more. You have to do the right thing at home domestically but you have to be present outside of the world and work together with colleagues and friends all over the world. That's how we meet this climate change and the refugees issues. And so that's what we know. Can the business community do what governments have failed to do? Well for me it's like, it's not this part or this is working together. Once again, you need to work together because business community can achieve a lot. But governments have to be the political side have to be there as well. As well as the civil society, the trade unions. So we have to do this together and that's why I'm talking about the win-win-win. It's a social dialogue. Employers and employees need to meet. You need to find a way to adapt to change not only to adapt but to make the future, a better future. You need to be able to look forward to the future. Not being afraid of tomorrow, you need to look forward. And one way of doing that is to be involved in the dialogue. How do we do this? How do we handle changes in technology and changes in the labor market? But also give the government an important role. How do you support that social dialogue? How do you support a change where people need training, for example? You need constant training and retraining. We know that that's the future of the labor market. Well that is something for the enterprises, yes. But it's something for the governments as well. So I think the crucial thing here is to make this social dialogue work together with all these three actors. Very good. What I'll add, I completely agree with the Prime Minister in the sense that it is the private and the public sector collaboration. Sort of taking it from the other perspective, if you like. In my case, I've worked at a bank. I've worked at the World Bank for 20 years, multilateral. I've worked, I've been on the board of multiple foundations. I have run an entrepreneurial investment firm. I've worked on private equity, oil company, et cetera. But sort of in the last 20, 30 years, there's been sort of a sustainable threat through all of this. And in my observation, through all the places where I have worked, private sector and public sector, there has been a huge interest in doing the right thing so long as you can measure it. There's always, I remember, first day at the World Bank. I think Bob McNamara asked somebody who then passed on to me, could you come up with the poverty indicators for this oil pipeline? It was impossible. And they asked me to make up a number. So I think we have to be very careful because the issue of impact and sustainability does need hard data, does need hard numbers. Whether you're in the public sector or the private sector, but we need to all come up with a better set of data and information going back to your point. At the same time, you yourself, if you draw a line and you look at many markets, you'll find that many of the social sectors, in fact, have very high returns. And we'll talk about some of the specific examples in the next session and the following ones. But people who are interested are not seeing those. So why would private industry be interested? They're looking at bottom line, absolutely. They're not going to invest in something that does not have bottom line unless it's their community affairs or their PR parts. However, they're now seeing that if millennials are interested in buying goods from companies that are taking this source of things seriously, they're going to sell more of their goods. The other thing I think to just be aware is, for those of you who've been in the States for a few days, the cover of the New York Times, yesterday was kind of sad because it had sort of various multinational companies who cannot sell food that makes people obese in the developed countries. So now they are selling it in developing countries, in fact through networks of women. And the question is first, do no harm. And I think some of the things we need to discuss are practical things. You said why should WF be involved in this? There's a lot of people talking about this. I think the reason I'm very excited about today and tomorrow is we need to start implementing. It's nice to have the high level debates. It's nice to discuss the broader topics. The question is take examples and actually do them. Exactly. And so it looks like how do we make this mainstream and how do we build those market systems, whether it's the metrics, the instruments, the dashboard that makes it look like something that we all currently recognize and want to mobilize. Great. The second part of it, why does it need the world to come out like a part of it too? I think because I think all the other platforms, as I was just saying, and as Terry just mentioned, are still at the level of debate. And I'm exaggerating slightly. I think a lot of people are looking at, there are some groups in the US and globally who are looking at data and measurement of impact. Academics are doing that. But I think the role of the forum is very much to look at how do you take something that people really want to get done and get it done. I was also a long time ago a young leader. And I think what I've been impressed by the forum is making things a little bit more practical, not just debate them. I think, sorry, to finish up, Terry. That's why in my day job at Rock Creek, we're very excited about this sort of creating a marketplace and working with governments. We've talked to a lot of companies who are very interested. We work with a number of foundations, but you really also need governments to be interested so that there's one place you can go to have open data on impact. And that really does not exist because either it's scattered or people want to be very proprietary about their data. Marianne, you're nodding. Did you want to come in there about the role of technology? That's true. I mean, that's what I said earlier. I'm data. If you think about it, I'm now 43 years old. And when I was growing up as a young girl in Senegal, I was actually part of the inaccurate data you saw around the world. And now the reason why it's important, I think your question is very valid, why we're doing this other world economic forum is because this is a platform, it's an amazing platform. And for the first time, the world economic forum is putting his eye on the sustainable development goals. And the indicators are there. The targets are there. So we can put governments, when we mobilize government, private sector investors, we can actually put them into account and say, hey, what's happening in the next 10, 20 years? For example, how do you make sure young women and girls across the world are learning basic digital skills that they will need to be part of the digital world tomorrow? So I think the data is really crucial. And I think that being here this week, we can measure what goal four is doing, what goal five is doing. And now nobody can hide anymore. And I think what I've just said is that the data is really crucial. And because like I said, we are the data. We, the people who are growing up in orphanages, in a hand of government NGOs, now our data is actually out there. And on top of that, you have the refugee's data. You have all these people data, AI is coming, machine learning is coming, but the people who are on the ground, they actually don't even have access to the technology. So it's really crucial that we focus on tech and innovation. And I think the World Economic Forum is the right platform for it. Madam President. Yes, thank you. And this, again, links up to the initiative of the World Economic Forum for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Because if we are going to talk about sustainability, if we are going to talk about, I'll just take a very good example of the ocean economy. If you want to look at sustainable fisheries, I can see how blockchain, for example, can help the customer gets access to all the information. And we talk about refugees. I mean, how can you get all the data together so that they can actually come on board faster? So I think we are talking about inclusiveness and we've talked about communication. But communication, the tools are there. But I think increasingly, we need to see how we have this dialogue. And this is what we're trying to build on this forum to promote the dialogue and to promote understanding with the technology, notwithstanding the fact that there are challenges associated with AI, associated with all these. But I think we need to have this dialogue to see how these challenges can be translated into opportunities. Excellent. Final word from anyone? All right, we'll have to... Yeah, final question. My name is Jean-Côme de Alley. I'm from Trimine de Genève. Two questions. So you mentioned the need for government and business to work together. This morning at the UN the two big words were sovereignty and accountability. So the movement is going the other way, basically. And second, what is the WEMEF gonna make different? Because the talk about girls' access to technology has been going on forever. And there's a lot of discussions and a lot of goodwill coming out of these summits. And then it feels evolved. So what's this summit is gonna make different to make sure really that these girls, for instance, are gonna have access to technology? Definitely, Jennifer. That's a very good question. I think I'm just gonna answer very quickly. That's a very good question. We had girls' education. Everybody talks about girls' education. But no one has ever talked about STEM education in the STEM field. And so at the World Economic Forum, we have an initiative called I am the Code, which is a young global leaders who are committed actually to making a difference. And so now the I am the Code is actually mobilizing government, private sector and the philanthropic foundation to actually invest into STEM education, the skill development of those girls. So really crucial. And it's a really hard topic that they're looking into. It never happened before. And so we are actually going on the ground and finding girls, getting girls into coding. Girls can code now if you go to China or go to Argentina, which is very clear when we had the World Economic Forum in Buenos Aires. You can go now and see young girls in Argentina coding in Spanish in five minutes. So we have really real data and real hard facts. And I think that you're gonna see the next five, 10 years do what the economy from actually showing you this data. Excellent. Thank you for energizing your very rich conversation. You're energizing in your leadership. Look forward to having you participate over the next day and a half in some very interesting sessions. I think you've given a wonderful preview of what's to come. So thank you very much. Thank you to all. Thank you. Thank you.
