The integrity layer: using #assessment to scaffold peer #learning_at_scale
▻https://redasadki.me/2026/08/05/the-integrity-layer-using-assessment-to-scaffold-peer-learning-at-scale

Peer feedback is the engine of #The_Geneva_Learning_Foundation’s learning system. A new screening tool protects that engine, and its design answers three questions education specialists have been circling for decades: what peer assessment is for, how much verification a learning system can afford, and what a certificate can honestly claim. “Ok ok ok […]

On the first day of the OECD Digital Education Outlook 2026 conference on “Exploring Effective Uses of Generative AI in Education,” we saw what happens when education system stakeholders ask not whether AI can improve performance, but whether it helps human beings learn and grow. The focus was K‑12, but the implications reach far beyond […]

The future of #hybrid_engagement: accelerated action to tackle #global_threats
▻https://redasadki.me/2026/01/21/the-future-of-hybrid-engagement-accelerated-action-to-tackle-global-threat

How can we use the new physics of digital connections to save lives? What is the future of hybrid engagement? The ultimate test of any #digital_architecture is whether it can deliver results in the real world. In the context of global health, the challenge is bridging the “know-do gap.” This is the chasm between high-level strategies written in Geneva or Seattle and the messy reality of a health clinic in a conflict zone. Traditional capacity-building often relies on the “transmission” of knowledge from experts to novices. This approach assumes that a lack of knowledge is the primary barrier to action. However, evidence suggests the binding constraint is often a lack of social scaffolding. Without the trust and shared context that physical presence historically provided, knowledge fails to (...)

Digital #propinquity: how to engineer serendipity and build connection in #remote_teams
▻https://redasadki.me/2026/01/20/digital-propinquity-how-to-engineer-serendipity-and-build-connection-in-re

We cannot teleport physical proximity, but we can replicate its psychological effects in remote teams. This has everything to do with propinquity. If the physical world provided connection by accident, the digital world requires connection by design. The most critical loss in the shift to remote work is “propinquity,” a fancy word for physical nearness. In the 1950s, psychologists discovered that the single best predictor of whether two people would become friends was how close their apartments were to each other. In the professional world, this is the “hallway track” at a conference. It is inefficient, but it is highly effective because it facilitates passive, frequent interactions. You bump into someone at the coffee station. You exchange a nod. You accumulate data points about them (...)

#trust in #remote_work : what is the psychology of #social_presence ?
▻https://redasadki.me/2026/01/19/trust-in-remote-work-what-is-the-psychology-of-social-presence

Why does a video call feels empty compared to a handshake? How does physical absence break the social contract? What happens to trust in remote work? For generations, professional trust relied on a simple, physical toolkit. We shook hands. We looked each other in the eye across a table. We shared coffee during breaks. These were not just social niceties. According to decades of research in sociology and communication theory, these physical acts provided a high-bandwidth environment where we could rapidly verify if a person was trustworthy. When the world shifted to remote work, we removed the travel but we lost much more than the commute. We lost the underlying machinery that makes human connection effective. To understand why a day of video calls leaves us feeling isolated rather (...)

On November 12, 2025, the 18th European Public Health Conference hosted a symposium organized by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The session, “The heart of resilience: lessons from #mental_health support for #children and young people affected by conflict in #Ukraine,” explored the large-scale mental health and #psychosocial_support (MHPSS) initiative developed by the IFRC with support from the European Commission. The panel was moderated by Dr Aneta Trgachevska, who coordinated this initiative at the IFRC Regional Office for #Europe. She was joined by four panelists: Emelie Rohdén and Ivan Kryvenko from the Swedish Red Cross Youth, Martina Dugonjić, a primary school teacher from Croatia, and Reda Sadki, Executive Director of The Geneva #learning (...)
