5 . The Foundation for Educational Progress is Seeking a New Chief Executive
The Foundation for Educational Progress is an independent charity established by a global news organization in 2012. We support children from underserved backgrounds to have inspiring discussions about the news, which teach them to creatively solve problems, listen with an open mind and speak with confidence.
Our founding Chief Executive, Emily Evans, has decided to move on to tackle new challenges. She will step down next summer, and we are seeking a new Chief Executive to lead the charity as it begins a hugely exciting next stage of global growth. Our programme, Topical Talk, has expanded from a UK pilot in 2013 to reaching over 200,000 children across the world today, and we have ambitious plans for the next decade.
We have an extraordinary platform to support our growth ambitions: a talented, highly motivated and supportive team; a collaborative (合作的), high-trust culture; and clear strategic focus. We are looking for a leader who can build on this platform and realise our potential for scale at the same time as deepening our impact, ensuring that we always stay focused on making a meaningful difference in the lives of children who are most in need of extra support.
If you have experience of scaling an organisation while taking a collaborative, inclusive and empowering approach to leadership, and you are passionate about our mission, we would love to hear from you. The role is based in headquarters in London at least two days per week.

6 . Children’s museums become an essential part of our play menu. Here are 4 famous muse-ums for families.
KidsQuest Children’s Museum
It features huge windows, beautifully designed exhibits and an adventurous, two-story rope ladders in the opening gallery. Kids of all ages will love building with real tools in the re-cycled room, running the cash register, doing physics experiments on water in the Water Lab and much more. Reservations are required. You can make them online.
Imagine Children’s Museum
Imagine Children’s Museum’s new 33,000-square-foot expansion doubles the museum’s previous play space and its shows. At over 60,000 square feet, its current area is much bigger than other local children’s museums (which average around 10,000-20,000 square feet). Visitors can spend hours in the museum.
Children’s Museum of Tacoma
At 10,000 square feet in size, the Children’s Museum of Tacoma has a huge draw. Since it opened about a decade ago, it has offered pay-as-you-will admission and has no plans to change that anytime soon. This means that you can stop off for an hour, without worrying about whether you’ve gotten your money’s worth.
Seattle Children’s Museum
This kid-favorite spot is located on the lower level of the Seattle Center Armory building. Long-time museum lovers will notice a new exhibit, a post office where kids can weigh packages and slide behind the driver’s seat to make pretend deliveries.

7 . DAY TRIP ITINERARY (行程)
After a warm reception from your tour manager at your dedicated pick-up point in London, settle in your comfortable coach as we set off on our journey towards Stonehenge. The world’s most famous prehistoric monument has inspired people to study and interpret it for centuries, yet many questions remain to be answered —about who built it, when, and why.
After visiting Stonehenge, we drive to Windsor Castle, which is home to royalty and 1,000 years of royal history. The stunning 13-acre site is the largest and oldest occupied, working castle in the world. There are many famous, must-see moments within these spectacular rooms in the castle, like the grand Waterloo Chamber and the magnificent Crimson Drawing Room.
In the early evening, we make our way towards London and proceed towards your respective drop off points and bid farewell to all friends you have made on the tour.

8 . Belt and Road
Dozens of oil paintings, prints, sculptures and other works of fine arts are on show at the National Art Museum of China until Sept 26 to mark the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Pieces on show come from the countries and regions involved in the BRI to convey the spiritual state and vision of Chinese civilization in a dialogue of openness with world art.
10 am-5 pm, daily. Building 27, 266 Tinglan Street, Linping district, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.
Figures in ink
lnk artist Lu Zhiqiang says that as he gets older, he feels more of the difficulties of painting. He has been exploring ways to capture the spirituality of his subjects. Lu’s ongoing solo exhibition at the China National Academy of Painting, through to Friday, explorers the artist’s long-term experimentation with figure painting.
9 am-11:30 am, 1:30-4:30 pm, daily. 54 Xisanhuan Beilu, Haidian district. 010-6841-2606.
Vibrant Han art
The brick and stone from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) are known for their highly illustrative style, and provide an overview of history, geography, astronomy and other aspects of life that reveals the extent of the knowledge people at the time had about themselves and the world. The wealth of information the images contain still inspires artists today. The show marks the inauguration (落成典礼) of Inxx Gallery, and runs until Sept 26.9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing.010-6400-1476.
Underneath surface
Wu Wei’s current exhibition, titled Fur and Golden, reminds people in a clever way that their eyes can betray them. A first look at his color pieces leads viewers to believe that the artist is working with fur. In fact, the pieces are actually made of paper, intricately (复杂地) cut to copy the look and texture of fur. The exhibition is running at Tang Contemporary Art until Saturday.
11 am-6:30 pm, closed on Mondays. D06, 798 art zone, Chaoyang district, Beijing.010-5978-9610.
