It is with much sadness that Diane Tabbagh, Coordinator Learning Community, Wyndham City Council and Chair of The Global Learning Festival (GLF) Working Committee, reported that Fatma Dodurka, Coordinator of the UNESCO Learning City Hatay project Türkiye, and coordinator of "Be the Voice of Girls" was amongst the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey.

It is with great pleasure that we report that Professor Budd Hall has been made an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of 'his contributions as a pioneer in the field of Community-based research, and for his advancement of knowledge building and research capacity around the world'.

This award is administered on behalf of the sovereign, King Charles III, by the Governor-General of Canada and is how the country 'honours people who make extraordinary contributions to the nation'.

Despite wide international interest in the 16^th PASCAL Conference in Tampere Finland, we have concluded that, it is necessary to postpone the event. We have re-scheduled it for 24-26 October 2022 again in hybrid mode. We know that many reading this message will be disappointed, because many of us were keen to meet together again after such a long break. We are very confident that the later date will be much more feasible, and look forward to meeting many of you then in person or virtually.

PASCAL International Observatory, whose European base is at the University of Glasgow, has been engaged in a range of activities around the world. These include a major collaboration with the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, a successful webinar series, Learning Cities COVID-19 recovery: from research to practice, co-led by PASCAL director, Mike Osborne in 2020, which for the convenience of subscribers we are now re-posting and highlighting as a complete entity here.
