SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2024 /CNW/ — Movement Labs, a San Francisco-based blockchain development team, today announced the launch of “Battle of Olympus,” an innovative hackathon designed to drive the growth and adoption of Movement, the first modular network of Move-based blockchains. The hackathon, which marks the first phase of Movement Labs’ Testnet, provides developers with early access and will run from July 17 to September 17, 2024. It is supported by 280 Capital and other partners who will serve as a judge, provide mentorship, and advise teams.

The hackathon marks the first phase of Movement Labs’ Testnet providing developers with early access to build.

The Battle of Olympus is a key component of Movement Labs’ broader Road to Parthenon initiative, a community program aimed at fostering the development of a robust and thriving ecosystem on Movement Labs’ eventual mainnet. The hackathon brings together talented developers and enthusiasts to innovate and build groundbreaking applications on the Movement Labs devnet and testnet.

The hackathon features a gamified structure, with participants earning points and rewards as they progress. Developers in the “Masons” guild, one of five unique guilds introduced for the Battle of Olympus, can create innovative dApps across various categories, including DeFi, gaming, social tools, infrastructure, and NFTs.

To participate in the Masons guild, developers can form teams of up to 4 members and register on the official hackathon website.

Standout projects will be recognized with attractive rewards, and winners will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges based on concept, execution, use of Movement-native features, innovation, technical excellence, user experience, and potential impact.

In addition to the Masons guild for developers, non-engineer enthusiasts can also participate and support the Battle of Olympus through four other guilds:

Pathfinders: Design onboarding guides, engage the community, and organize eventsCreators: Create Movement-related content, memes, and contribute to worldbuildingExplorers: Engage with partners, write articles, and analyze ecosystem dataScholars: Write content, design quizzes, and collaborate on reports about the hackathon and Movement ecosystem

“The Battle of Olympus offers unique opportunities for our entire community to get involved based on their skills and interests,” said Cooper Scanlon, Co-Founder of Movement Labs. “Whether you’re a developer or an enthusiast, we’re providing the tools and support needed to innovate and shape the decentralized landscape.”

The Battle of Olympus winners will be announced in mid-September. For more information and to register, visit http://olympus.movementlabs.xyz

Cultivating a Culture of Peace: International Day of Peace Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — The longing for peace transcends time, geography and religion. Based on justice, human rights and universal values outlined in the UN Charter, a culture of peace brings us all together in our common agenda for humanity. We can only co-exist by aligning ourselves with such a world order.

On today’s International Day of Peace, we call on world leaders to end conflict and embrace a culture of peace as enshrined in the UN Charter and related international law.

As the UN General Assembly outlined in the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace  a quarter of a century ago, this must include: “Respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.”

Educating for peace starts at home and continues in school through years of education. This takes place during the most formative years of a child learning about their identity, ethics, values, conscience, courage and compassion. Wherever there has been a failure in imparting on children the imperative for peace, the world is turned upside down. This is a global failure with no geographical boundaries.

Today, we live in a world of unprecedented violence, armed conflict and chaos. All the genuine and heartfelt commitments made in 1945 in the UN Charter seem to be fading away. Children and adolescents are the most vulnerable, the least protected, and the most impacted. They bear the brunt. 

Global conflicts killed three times as many children in 2023 than in the previous year, according to the United Nations. The number of forcibly displaced people reached an unprecedented 120 million in May 2024.

“In 2023, the United Nations verified a record 32,990 grave violations against 22,557 children in 26 conflict zones, a 35% increase from the previous year,” according to recent analysis by the UN.

We can end these violations and invest in a constructive co-existence globally. We can use our resources for education, rather than for wars. In classrooms around the world, girls and boys who have withstood the wrath of war can rebuild their hopes and their lives. Cultivating a culture of peace is possible. The financial resources exist. The choice as to how we use them is ours.
