Taking our past into the future with Carolina Reviglio! Carolina enjoyed a carefree childhood in the Piedmont countryside. With many cousins and friends, the passion for culture was instilled from an early age. Surrounded by beauty and art in the family mansion Cimena, expertly curated by her grandmother namesake, Carolina. On the paternal side of the family, her Venetian grandmother was equally influential. The unique character and rich culture of Venice, epitomizes Carolina. While travelling often, she feels most at home, in the isles of Venice. Schooled in Italy and the United States, lived in provinces throughout the length of Italy, Carolina considers herself truly Italian, with an international vision. “My country is rich in heritage, but poor in the pocket to keep it so. It saddens me to see so many buildings in a state of disrepair.” She has honed the skills of renovation and interiors of historic buildings, since 1987. Learning by trial and error, spurned on by failure and ultimate success, Carolina has grown and prospered. Now is the time to give back. Helping artisans of all disciplines to find work and ply their trade with pride. Matching projects to professionals and vice versa. As Heritage Doyenne, Carolina’s primary contribution to this unique initiative, is to encourage the participation of Heritage Ambassadors. This cause is yet another open avenue, to take our past into the future. By intertwining culture and heritage, to create more synergy. “Only once we fully understand where we come from… and truly appreciate our heritage… can we imagine a fabulous future filled with the richness of our past. Life is ours to design!” ~ Carolina Reviglio.

I grew up in a small farm community in the Eastern Cape. The world I knew then was only what was surrounding me; the farm, farm lands, livestock, bushes and forest and two or three other farm dweller families. That was my reality, no big cities or big townships. I never knew anything about big rivers, oceans, lots of animals, no idea of big mountains etc. When I grew up my parents moved to the city, things changed, it was a total new world. My world got so complex and vast. It was when I started visiting beaches, zoo, animal sanctuaries, visit nature reserves and botanical gardens and travelling by boats, ships and fly in aeroplanes. I am now an avid traveller, I also go for walks in the natural environments, listen to birds singing and so on. The world has so much to offer for those who grab these opportunities. As a family man, I often visit with my family to city parks, nature reserves, and lots of community projects that take care of animals and the environment. I am both an environmental and social activist, and I have spent most of my life either being involved directly in the protection of fauna and flora or training those who are involved in the same. When I travel or visit other countries, I visit mostly destinations that would offer natural and aesthetic beauty to tourists. I also have a huge interest in climate change as it is, among others, influenced by human behaviour, more especially air pollution. I am also interested in religion, more especially African Traditional religion. The reason for my interest in this branch of religion is because it is mostly nature based. In other words, it is religion that does not separate between humans and nature. For the adherents of this religion life is one and God manifests himself through nature and therefore taking care of nature is a religious duty. As an environmental and social activist, I am involved either through making financial contribution or contributing my time in community projects of different kinds. These projects would include contributing shoes to primary school learners who have no shoes, contributing money to soup kitchens for crèches and unemployed jobseekers and many other projects. I am hoping to sustain these initiatives to a level where they can help more people.

I am a 28-year-old woman who is passionate about youth work in communities across South Africa. I have volunteered my time with NGO’s specifically tailored for the youth in Cape Town, Port Shepstone and East London. I believe that the youth are capable of great things in our country and the entire world, I take great pride in mentoring young girls to believe the above-mentioned statement and to push themselves to get to their goals. The concept of hard work is simply lost in the generation of instant gratification and I believe that every person needs to learn this, starting from a young age. I have dedicated my time to schools as a sports coach, tutor and during Holiday Clubs that teach children ages 12-18 about life skills and the potential that they have. I am family oriented and believe in working hard in all areas of my life. I think of myself as an intelligent and super energetic being, I love all things that make me laugh and I am a super fun person. I am a wife and mom who is devoted and loves her family very much. I am in my final year of a Bachelor of Theology and look forward to working towards a Master’s specializing in Pastoral Care/Social work. My skills range from retail, online teaching and proofreading and editing, and I put my all in what I do. I do not believe in taking shortcuts and giving up when the going gets tough, trying and trying again is an attitude that I have taken a liking to and I pour my all in every project that I am involved in. I am a firm believer in serving others and I do that with no motives, other than to be a memory in their lives that brought hope and a new determination. That is who I am and what I stand for, to be a part of something that makes others lives better and gives them the ability to believe in themselves.

Alfonso IX de León quiso tener estudios superiores en su reino y por ello creó en 1218 las ‘scholas Salamanticae’, germen de la actual Universidad de Salamanca que se acerca ahora a cumplir los 800 años de historia ininterrumpida creando, promocionando y divulgando el conocimiento. Alfonso IX fue un hombre ilustrado y adelantado a su tiempo, no solo por haber creado la Universidad de Salamanca, sino también por otras acciones como plantear las primeras Cortes que permitían la participación de diversos sectores de la población además de los habituales nobles. Este primer Estudio contó, según el decreto de 1254, con un maestro en leyes, otro en decretos, dos de decretales, dos de lógica, dos de gramática, dos de física o medicina, uno de órgano, un apotecario, un bibliotecario y dos conservadores. Así, la Universidad de Salamanca se convirtió, junto con París, Oxford y Bolonia en una de las primeras universidades europeas y hoy en día es la única española que ha mantenido su actividad a través de los siglos. La Universidad de Salamanca cuenta con un importante patrimonio material en forma de edificios históricos y espacios emblemáticos que aún se encuentran en activo y reciben cada día la visita de cientos de personas, bien porque quieran apreciar su valor artístico o histórico, o bien porque tengan que realizar alguna actividad académica en ellos. Destacan especialmente el Edificio de Escuelas Mayores con su fachada plateresca, en el interior del cual se encuentra la Biblioteca General Histórica con 2.774 manuscritos, 483 incunables y alrededor de 62.000 volúmenes impresos entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. Visita obligada es también el Patio de Escuelas Menores que alberga en una de sus salas la conocida pintura del ‘Cielo de Salamanca’, obra atribuida a Fernando Gallego que recoge temas astronómicos y astrológicos. Son obras de arte y reflejos de la historia de la institución. Una historia cargada de tradiciones donde destacan, por ejemplo, las tradicionales ceremonias de investidura de los doctores honoris causa con su tradicional y colorido desfile de togados, la celebración del patrón Santo Tomás o las aperturas solemnes de curso en las que el rector repasa los principales retos que aborda cada ejercicio la institución. En la actualidad, la Universidad de Salamanca sigue manteniendo su gran capacidad de atracción y tiene un alumnado estable en torno a los 30.000 estudiantes. Cuenta para atenderles con nueve campus distribuidos entre Salamanca, Ávila, Zamora, Béjar y Villamayor entre los que se reparten las 26 facultades y escuelas superiores y los 12 centros de investigación que abarcan aspectos tan variados como las biociencias o el láser, pasando por desarrollos agroalimentarios, las neurociencias, los estudios de historia o la investigación básica, entre otros. A ellos se unen los centros dedicados a estrechar vínculos académicos y culturales con otros países y culturas como el Centro Cultural Hispano Japonés, el Centro de Estudios Brasileños o el Instituto de Estudios de Iberoamérica, donde el continuo movimiento de profesores y estudiantes mantiene los lazos y crea nuevas perspectivas de futuro en las alianzas establecidas. Otro de los rasgos distintivos de la Universidad es la enseñanza del Español que atrae a miles de estudiantes extranjeros en los distintos programas educativos desarrollados en uno de los mayores centros de formación para extranjeros de prestigio mundial, la entidad Cursos Internacionales de la Universidad de Salamanca. Desde Cursos Internacionales se elaboran desde hace años los Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) y, recientemente, un acuerdo firmado con el Instituto Cervantes, la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y la Universidad de Buenos Aires, ha hecho que la Universidad de Salamanca lidere, junto a ellas, el desarrollo del primer certificado digital del español (SIELE) que podrá realizarse desde cualquier parte del mundo y que llevará la certificación del estudio salmantino como aval a su validez.

Born and raised in South-Africa by a single mother in humble surroundings. Doing Taekwondo for years and attained my International black belt with the following principles, this was apart of my childhood that guided me into my adult life: Showing courtesy to others no matter what level of society labelled them; training continuously whether I was up for it or not; showing integrity, even when no one was watching; perseverance when I wanted to give up; self control when it was difficult to compose myself and learning from my couch to have a indomitable Spirit. Finishing school it was expected of me to follow in the "Afrikaaner Man's" footsteps to have a job where you work many long hours a day, week in and week out, get your salary, sleep and repeat. My passion for music gave me the confidence to follow my heart and to head towards Cape Town for a short holiday, but I ended up staying here and studied for Audio Engineering, whilst completing my studies and gaining experience in the industry. COVID19 affected the industry drastically and I had decided to use my spare time productively by enrolling in courses such as Social Media marketing and Programming. I also started a small business where I rent out my sound equipment and host small gatherings and events. Helping friends with their business promotions and seeing how people enjoyed the events I have hosted, it made me realize that I have a passion to better others and their circumstances. Following my dreams against all odds lead me to where I am today and to appreciate every single moment by not wondering about the past or worrying about the future. Focusing on the task at hand and having it complete well within the deadline is what I strive to achieve and I love learning and gaining knowledge along the way to further myself in everything and anything I get the opportunity for. I am ready for new challenges and know that having a healthy work balance will help me to reach my full potential.

I’m Toni-Leigh, born and bred in the Mother City of Cape Town. My fiancé and I, are parents to a lively 2-year old girl who arrived 5 years after losing our 3-year old son to a rare genetic disease. I love learning new things. Growing up, I was a voracious reader, reading anything and everything (even the classifieds and property ads) and with the advancement of technology over the years, I can have information at the tip of my fingers, so I’m always eager to learn new things and I’m a fast learner. I’ve always had an interest in Information Technology and was the go-to person in my office before my colleagues would go to the IT office, and now I’m looking into further studies so that I can develop my knowledge and skills. In 2005 I graduated from Varsity College with a Diploma in Travel and Tourism with aspirations of travelling worldwide in my profession. Things didn’t quite work out that way, having worked in retail and a company assisting young people to live and work in the UK. In the last decade or so, I’ve been in the tourism industry behind the scenes, working for an online holiday accommodation booking agency and more recently a company that does tours and safaris in Southern Africa. I also do freelance work remotely, such as, captioning for a speech-to-text service and social media evaluation. I am an introvert but enjoy working with and being in the company of others, while also enjoying being on my own. In the past I used to view being an introvert as a weakness because those higher up in the ranks of the companies I worked for were extroverted but in recent times I realised how much of a strength it is being an introvert as I also have a strong sense of empathy, which I believe is key in Customer Service and building interpersonal relationships with colleagues and clients. I’m passionate about customer service and going the extra mile and l love that feeling of knowing that I’ve made a difference in someone’s day whether big or small. People tend to describe me as hardworking, punctual, efficient, dependable and trustworthy. Covid-19 affected the tourism industry drastically, however, I still want to travel anywhere I can, just soaking up the different cultures and experiences. The last year has been both challenging and rewarding and it has made me see things in a different light and so it has been somewhat of a new beginning for me. I am motivated now more than ever to seek out new passions and adventures and to get out of my comfort zone.

Not so long ago our founders, Gauthier and Matt, were students struggling to pay for textbooks, like so many of their peers. Textbook prices continue to skyrocket, leaving students unable to afford the resources they need. Some students resort to piracy and second-hand books, but many others are priced out of the education system altogether. This not only limits student’s access to knowledge but also leaves researchers, authors and the publishing industry at a loss. Perlego was born to provide an affordable (and sustainable) textbook solution for learners around the world, by partnering with publishers and removing the costs of print, distribution, and retail markup. We believe education has the power to transform lives. By empowering people with all the resources they need to learn, we can give everyone a fair chance at a brighter future. Knowing which sources you can trust has never been more important. By partnering with publishers, we support researchers and the creation of trustworthy educational resources. We’ve built sustainability into our core by cutting out resource-heavy print and distribution services. As we grow, we’re working hard to make a positive impact on our planet.

I believe we can all be kind if we want to be and we can all make a difference in someone’s life if we want to. I want to make a difference in the world ! I know I can.
