Behind scenes across #Glasgow there were acts of kindness yesterday & just sheer practical care - folk ensuring food & water supplied, phone calls, peace talks & messages zigzagging every network. People sitting with those dawn-raided or detained in past & shaken to core 💚🙏🏾💚
This doesn’t happen by accident. This is built up over years of many strong small organisations that mean everyone’s who fae somewhere can know someone. The kinds of community trust #KenmureStreet demonstrates was also policy in Scotland over 10 years #NewScots
The policy is built from the ground up, through many, many grassroots organisations, NGOs, public service & endless practical & caring and sometimes fraught conversations & debates. Social bonds are actively foster BECAUSE it keeps people safe. And our neighbours. #NewScots

Our UNESCO Spring School on Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts begins next week and its going to be amazing. @UofGUnescoRILA @UofGlasgow @UofGEducation @UofGVC @UNESCOUK

gla.ac.uk/research/az/un…
Forget any normal ideas you have about zoom and 'online conferences' - just come and join our online cinema, games room, bed time stories, talks, outdoor activities (kinda online) lectures, learnings together and workshops with makers and magicians and marvels. @scotrefcouncil
The pre-activities are a joy - I've just added to our shared play list (@IAMKP a tradition of course) & to @Tawona_Sithole's comforting sounds.
Its FREE (very very small charge for our cookery keynote) and there is the gorgeous complex social space we've built in gather town.

Today was the day #UKRI required my University and hundreds of others to submit their decisions on what to cut, how hard and what to terminate.

And required this with a timescale of 3 weeks which included Easter, Ramadan, Passover, up to Orthodox Easter. And school holidays.
To all the research and finance staff, PIs, Co-Is, and University leaders who have worked flat out to find ways of responding with integrity to this unprecedented situation and who have just been colleagues - thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 we still have far to go. But it’s made a difference.
For #GCRF hubs deadline looms next week. So more pain ahead. Forthright comments from @heavencrawley & @profrichdawson
on #UKRi letter some PIs have received to send to partners.

“We are not sending it on”

“Too little too late”

⁦#UKRI announced award of 141 new projects under #GCRF all addressing #SDGs

Global challenges being tackled by projects include [d]:
👉🏼environmental disasters
👉🏼education for children living through conflict
👉🏼malnutrition.” #odacuts ukri.org/news/ukri-anno…
Many of these 141 #GCRF award holders had been under strict @beisgovuk imposed embargo on #UKRI for over a year. I know, I was one of them. Delivering during the pandemic meant constant requests to ‘reprofile’ our grants meaning using resource to make projects Covid compliant
Between and in secret because of the embargo we worked out how to ensure partners had access to good enough internet for our partner meetings. This meant investing in and rapidly learning g about mobile technologies #odacuts #gcrfcuts #ukricuts
