I chaired one of the Symposia at the World Forum, held during August 2008 in Oxford, UK which was organised by the American Biographical Insitute (ABI) and the International Biographical Center (IBC). Many interesting lectures, papers and presentations were given.

In 2007, I attended this World Forum, which was then held in Washington DC.

I have had articles published in the following journals this year.

Education World - February 2008 - Developing Multiple Intelligences

Teacher Plus - March 2008 - Bringing Multiple Intelligences into the Classroom

Visit 6
Travelling by overnight train, planes and taxis, I covered very many miles.

My first school was:
The Aditya Birla Public School - Renusaga (a very different setting from other schools I have visited, as the school provides for the community that serves the coal mine and electricity plant in this quite remote area. A five and a half hour taxi drive from the airport at Varanasi began this visit.)

From here I went on to run a two-day workshop in Bal Bharti School - New Delhi.

Then to Chandigarh to carry out Parent Consultations and enjoy a family Multi-Faith festival weekend with friends. A wonderful drive up the Morni Hills near Chandgarh to Tikar Tall Lake, celebrations in the Nadha Sahid Gurdwara and Christ Church - The Church of North India, and a dinner party with friends are among many happy memories.

Back to SunCity World School in Gurgaon to run a one day workshop - I had visited the school before, and was interested to hear about the progress they are making in multiple intelligences planning.

From there to Delhi Public School in Jalandhar for a two day workshop. On the way back from here I was honoured to visit a family involved with renovation historical buildings in the village of Ladhran. This is such a worthwhile project as historical buildings cannot be saved once lost. They need all the help that can be offered them.

Daly College - Indore kindly invited be back for a second time, to observe lessons and provide written feedback, and were kind enough to arrange for me to stay four nights at their guest house in wonderful surroundings.

Then to Bangalore to contribute to the TAIAI Conference for Teachers and Middle Management. I was indeed honoured to be invited to take part.

And lastly a third visit to Springdale - Amritsar - for four days, to carry out classroom observations and general education consultancy.

Back to Chandigarh to meet a fellow International Education Consultant and compare notes on what we each offer in our workshops, and then time for one more unexpected pleasure - a weekend at Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, somewhere I have wanted to visit since I first came to India. Another pestigious school in a wonderful setting, up in this Himalyan hill station. Thank you so much for having me to stay as your guest.

Another truly amazing visit, with so many friends and colleagues now across the country. Thank you all for your continued kindness and hospitality.

A wonderful week in Algeria! I was kindly invited by the linguistics department to contribute, in February, to the students' teacher training programme. The students will be leaving university this year and most will apply for teaching posts. The first language of people in Algeria is Arabic but most people also speak French fluently. French is taught as the main, second language and English as a third language.

Three hundred 4th Year university students joined me each morning for a lecture in the auditorium, and this was followed by workshops in smaller groups of about 30 students with a teacher/lecturer in classrooms. There was much enjoyment when practical activities were the plan for the day!

The students were enormously generous, enthusiastic, warm, friendly and very keen to learn. A wonderful group of people.

I was also extremely well looked after by two colleagues, who joined me for meals and from whom I learned much about Algerian culture. They also organised and took me on many site-seeing visits. We walked through Setif shopping area and market, visited the countryside where I saw the very 'French' villages, and travelled further afield, with appropriate security, to Djemila to see the extensive, well preserved ruins of a Roman city. Absolutely amazing!

Yes, what a wonderful week! Thank you so much everyone.

I have now visited India three times in the last six months to run workshops, introducing teachers to the concept of multiple intelligences and showing them how they can plan for their pupils' different intelligences in their classrooms.

The December visit took us to:

• St George's College - Mussoorie
• Spring Dale Secondary School - Amritsar
• and a return visit to Sanskriti School - New Delhi

The February visit has taken us to:

• Scindia Kanya Vidayaya School - Gwalior
• Assam Valley School - Assam
• Daly College - Indore
• Mayo College Girls' School - Ajmer
• The Sagar School - Alwar
• Mallya Aditi International School - Bangalore - where teachers of two other schools joined us from Bishop Cotton School and Indus International School
• YPS Patiala
  

More is planned and future consultancy may be possible, depending on availablity.

Warm thanks go to all the schools who have hosted these workshops and provided accommodation, often on site at the boarding schools.

Teachers and principals from other schools also joined the workshops and in all 226 educationalists took part.
