As faculty and administrators of programs that involve teenagers and young adults in collaborative community-based participatory research and outreach (CBPRO) programs in Ambos Nogales, a region that encompasses the municipality of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico and the cities of Nogales and Rio Rico, Arizona, we recognize that our communities face tremendous challenges which require creative and innovative approaches. These range from serious environmental and health problems to educational systems that fail to prepare students to diagnose and address the root causes of such problems. With a persistent shortage of resources directed toward these issues, we must find ways to address multiple concerns at once. The University of Arizona in Tucson lies about fifty miles north of Nogales and draws students from this region, throughout the state, and beyond its borders. Working within a CBPRO model, we recognize that the problems faced by communities, educational institutions, and young people are intertwined and that in addressing them we are all pushed to be more and do more than we might have thought possible. By involving young people in CBPRO programs, we bring energy and resources to problems that otherwise receive little attention and provide students with integrated educational opportunities.

This paper speaks to a potential dilemma between the R and the CBP of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) within the context of a partnership called the Asociación de Reforestación de Ambos Nogales (ARAN). We focus on the relationship between students and educators from the University of Arizona (UA) and two high schools from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico that constitute part of this organization. ARAN has been influenced by but not restricted to a framework of CBPR where community members and academics engage in all aspects of research.

1519 was a special year for the city of Poznań, owing to the foundation of a new school, the Lubrański Academy. It was the first school of humanities in Poland to follow the best models of Renaissance education and employed illustrious teachers like Krzysztof Hegendorfer and Benedykt Herbest. In the 16th century, the Academy was considered a rival of Krakow University; ultimately in the early 17th century, the Academy was affiliated with the University. As a result of the affiliation, the Poznań school enjoyed stability, a group of experienced teachers and a curriculum recognized by the society. The curriculum stood out in Poland by its inclusion of practical preparation for performing various political functions, especially in the field of law, and, as in other educational institutions, by preparing young people for cultural life in the country. Its relations with Krakow University also had drawbacks: during the Enlightenment reforms of the education system, the Lubrański Academy adopted a conservative and reactionary position. Despite this, the authorities managed to introduce several modern solutions, especially in the realm of teaching modern foreign languages.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has tremendously affected every aspect of global structures with its fast and lethal reach. Originating from Wuhan, a Chinese city, this highly infectious virus has forced to impose nationwide closures in many countries impacting onsite educational systems to shut down. Considering the safety of students and following other infected countries, the Bangladesh government has closed all the educational institutions until further notice. Although online teaching-learning is promoted for educators and students to streamline their educational activities from home, it has several drawbacks from different perspectives. Post pandemic scenarios in higher-level education system pose some questions and doubts which requires scholarly works for a thorough investigation. To analyze these scenarios and describe the trends towards effective teaching-learning, in this research work, we have proposed a model by interviewing students from the university level. Our proposed Model provides some rationale and guidelines for its post-pandemic implementation in the higher-level education system in Bangladesh.

The relevance of the development of electronic educational systems has long been one of the main topics for discussion not only at the level of universities, but also at secondary and basic education. Many higher educational institutions in Russia are actively using distance-learning technologies, which bring them to a qualitatively new level of interaction between the teacher and students. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of the process of informatization of educational resources in the discipline “Physical culture and sports” at the university for further substantiation of the path of development of the digital environment in this discipline, regardless of the health level of students and their place of stay. The issues of the effectiveness of electronic educational resources in organizational and management activities in the field of physical culture and sports are analyzed. The directions of creation of a unified educational information system for universities with the possibility of maximum use of information resources in pedagogical activity, for specialists in physical culture and sports are considered. Thus, the main challenge for modern education in the field of physical culture and sports is the construction of an adaptive educational system that responds to the transformation of the environment, and the creation of conditions for the implementation of individual (personalized) educational trajectories using modern educational technologies.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
