Amplia Group's Friday Five
By Kathy Kyle, Co-Founder
Every Friday, we curate and share content that is timely and relevant. Since everyone this week is talking about racism and the pandemic, we have curated content that was a bit different.
This is our Friday Five - it’s what we see happening right now, in our weekly round up.
One )) Beauty
Tired of performative allyship? Not being represented in the beauty industry? So was Sharon Chuter. So she launched #PullUpForChange. And her own make-up brand, Uoma.
Two )) Come on ride that train
In April, Spain’s national carrier Renfe retrofitted three high-speed 730 Series trains for medical use. And this month, Italy launched its very own hospital train.
Three )) Children and Make Believe
Scientific American breaks down how and why our kids believe what they do. Check out this study conducted on our beliefs and rituals and how they are responsible for how our children’s acceptance of the reality of dinosaurs, Santa, the Easter Bunny and Spongebob Squarepants.
Four )) Billionaires and the US Education System
How Netflix’s founder is secretly building a luxury retreat for ‘education reform’ in Colorado. Its in the same place fictional South Park was located.
Five )) Humanising Cities
Check out these almost totally-car free zones in Shenzen and Barcelona. Cities are evolving to be designed in a more humanistic manner, limiting traffic and maximising greenspace.
