ABSTRACT
India is a land of unique culture bonded with unmatched art and crafts in every nook and corner. Apart from being one of the most important components of tourism, the handloom and handicraft sector makes a major contribution to employment generation. This case study helps the learner understand the application of a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis on the hand-loom and handicraft industry and the efforts made by artisans and craft persons. It will also provide an opportunity for: (i) critical thinking regarding the opportunities and threats to the handicraft industry;and (ii) analytical thinking on promoting handicrafts as a product and how artisans survived during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with the help of their art and crafts.
ABSTRACT
This contribution draws on the voices and reflections from young people as co-researchers in the Growing-Up Under Covid-19 project – a longitudinal ethnographic action research project to document, share, and respond to impacts of the pandemic on different spheres of young people’s lives. The research was conducted entirely online over 18 months in seven countries and has involved youth-led approaches to research, including video diaries and the use of artefacts and visual material to convey their experiences and support reflection and dialogue across research groups and with external stakeholders. In this contribution, the young co-researchers reflect on their rationale for using different visual media and why this was important for them. They also reflect on the significance of the representations in the visual images and how these images communicate how young people’s understanding of COVID and its impact on young people has changed (or given new meaning to) and how this in turn has given rise to particular responses and opportunities for young people. The article draws on examples of different visual forms selected by young people in Singapore, Italy, Lebanon, and the UK nations, including video, drawing, photography, and crafts. These different media and links to videos were included in the accompanying document. The contribution explores the different narratives and meanings behind the visuals, using the words of young people themselves, interspersed with narration from the adult researchers.

ABSTRACT
Lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic situation had started in India since 24th March 20201 and after that almost two years is going to be passed but it is very difficult to access digital education by the students of India properly though 'Digital India'1 was launched by Prime Minister of India on 1st July 2015.2 Actually Indian education system is not habituated with online education rather world knows Indian education for Ashram education/Tapoban education (Tagorian model of education) 3 and Gurukula education(ancient Indian education system where shisha living near to guru)4 where environment and students are connected with each other. Lockdown has braked this spiritual connection. Lockdown has insisted the students, teachers, and education system of India access education through digital mode where the morality, ethics, values, creativity, quality, practical knowledge, and field-based project work are affected adversely to some extent. Every corner of India may get the education through digital mode but whether the internet is present in every corner of India, whether all the Indian students have the capacity to buy the android phone and laptop, whether the uninterrupted internet high speed (5G or 10 gigabits per second) 5 is available everywhere, whether the teachers of India are habituated in the online education system, whether the Indian students and teachers access online teaching-learning education ethically, whether the controller of examinations to educational institutions is experienced in conducting digital examinations. So, there is a huge number of confusions are present in our contemporary education system to run digital education completely. Again, based on the last two years' teaching and evaluation system during a lockdown of the examination, it is experienced that almost all the students give the answers of the questions during online examination based on the pen-book method and they put the questions in google and take the answers from that. Even there are some students who do not write the answer scripts in their own handwriting rather they engage 2nd party to write it. In some cases, teachers do not check answer scripts properly and give marks just based on the roll numbers or names. In some cases, it is again observed that teacher has mistakenly provided the marks though the candidate has sent the answer-scripts in the relevant emails provided by the institution/department. Later when students saw the mark sheet without the marks on a particular paper, he/they fill up the scrutiny form with proper institutional fees, after that they pass the same paper with relevant marks. Now the question is why students will bear extra scrutiny charges due to the fault of the teacher's careless job during the checking of the answer scripts? Sometimes students join the online examination link to present their assignments but just after starting the presentation candidate leave the link and show the excuse for internet problem. Actually, the candidate has not done the assignment properly, and to hide this truth he/she does this type of malpractice. Thus, the blended learning or hybrid teaching method should be applied to the contemporary Indian education system. Moreover, the concept of 'Sustainable Thinking'6 must be incorporated in the development of moral education of the students and teachers.
ABSTRACT
What will each of us remember about life during a global pandemic? News of racial unrest, political protests, natural disasters, and skyrocketing COVID-19 rates gripped our attention. At work, I helped my department pivot to a predominantly online learning environment. At home, I quietly grieved over the death of my mother, as well as the passing of many others I had never met. During this tumultuous time, I drew solace from home improvement projects, gardening, and quilting. While I found these activities therapeutic, this article describes how developing a new skill in basket making went beyond simply serving as a welcome distraction for me;it provided new learning opportunities, connecting with others, and building resilience.
