CASEL is planning to officially announce its first Call for Submissions for the next worldwide SEL conference. You may remember that I mentioned this conference at the Senior Trainer meeting in Kyiv. In 2020, the conference is planned for October 14-16 in Schaumburg, Illinois (just down the street from LCIF!) We encourage you to submit a presentation to the event if you are interested. In an ideal world, there would be a flood of sessions about Lions Quest! If your presentation is accepted, please let me know.

The latest Lions Quest magazine featured LQ Slovakia. 

"A Lions Quest Tale with a Tail!

A US$10,000 grant from LCIF helped Lions Quest make its debut in Slovakia. Interestingly, this happy tale includes an actual tail! Lions in Slovakia used the grant to pilot Lions Quest, with funds used to translate program materials into Slovakian, as the 40 teachers being trained included both Hungarian speakers and those for whom Slovakian is their native tongue."

Dear LQ Europe Team,

As you know Lions is the only NGO that has a special day with United Nations. This day is celebrated in New York UN in March and in Europe in April.

The April meeting was in Geneva on 10th April.

I was invited by IP Gudrun and PID Howard Lee - Lion Coordinator to UN to be on LQ with also suggestion of Matthew.Kiefer.

It was a great experience for me. Since it was just after the Iceland board meeting, all board was there. Participants were from 28 countries.

The theme was "How can we protect our future children's health"

Besides other partnerships with UN - sight, diabetes, vaccination and environment, Lions Quest was the main subject. The history of LQ was reported, a brand new introduction video from Uruguay was shown ( I asked the video to send you), I spoke, after me UNODC - Preventive Programs Coordinator Wadih Maaloof  gave a very impressive presentation about their project with LC

LQ was like 40 % of the day's speeches.This proves that LQ is getting more and more important in Lions and you are an important part of this success.with your immense work. 

My main approach we cannot protect our children's well being  in future but we can teach them to protect themselves with LQ. How LQ can create positive climate for their nurture, how they learn soft skills ; how to make right and responsible choices. (mentioning Mitt Valg)

I focused on the values of LQ above and beyond being an efficiency proved prevention program. How " Social Emotional Learning" is more and more important in the future world- giving the examples of the outcomes of OECD Davos meeting and Microsoft Education Conference:

21st Century skills are 4 Cs:

As you may guess I boasted with European LQ how we work as a team,  create new the new programs- Future in Diversity, Sport Coaches-  besides all LCIF team is doing; and how proud I am to be part of it.

I just want to thank all of you for the wonderful work you all are doing ;wish you all a happy summer holiday and look forward to our meeting in Kiev.

Best

Nilgün
