We are living in exciting times. We are on the verge of a new technological revolution that is changing how we experience the world and interact with each other. Do you remember when the internet became mainstream how it changed the world on all fronts? Well the metaverse and the web 3.0 are expected to be another big leap for mankind. The line between reality and virtuality is being blurred and the concept of space as we know it has become multi-dimensional.

Today for gen z and gen alpha, their virtual spaces and avatars are as real as real life itself. For them, there’s not much difference between attending a concert on Fortnite or attending it in a physical stadium. Moreso, the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of the metaverse at all levels and at an unprecedented speed.

But in this massively scaled network that is made up of billions of users interacting at all fronts, communication becomes of critical importance and localization would be key.

From entertainment to edutainment, gaming to conferencing, leather wallets to digital wallets, technology has not only advanced us a civilization but it also bridged the gap between reality and virtuality. Localizing the metaverse starts by localizing ideas. And that is what we do.

Stories, Spaces and Societies - Globalising and Localising the Great War Oxford University The centenary of the First World War demands innovative and inspiring research. Based in Oxford, Globalising and Localising the Great War (GLGW) is a centre for interdisciplinary research on the conflict committed to producing such scholarship.This podcast series contains excerpts from GLGW’s second Graduate Conference, held in March 2016. Focused on ‘Stories, Spaces and Societies’, the event showcased new work by graduate students and early career researchers investigating unexplored narratives of the war, the influence of real and imagined spaces on lived experience, and the relationship between the personal, the local and the global during the war. These themes culminated in the keynote addresses, which you can listen to here. Next in Q Quilliam International Quilliam International is the world’s first counter-extremism organisation. We have a full spectrum and values-based approach to counter-extremism which means promoting pluralism and inspiring change.Over the last decade we have grown to have operations all over the world and aim to tackle extremism of all kinds. To pursue our work more effectively and ensure that we are localising our efforts, we currently have a UK team, a North America team, and a Global team.Challenging extremism is the duty of all responsible members of society.
