HELSINKI (AP) — Heavy social media use contributes to a stark decline in well-being among young people, with the effects particularly worrying in teenage girls in English-speaking countries and Western Europe, according to the World Happiness Report 2026 published Thursday.
The annual report, published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, also found that Finland is the happiest land in the world for the ninth year in a row, with other Nordic countries such as Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway ranking among the top 10 countries.

If you attended school any time after the Nixon administration, then you likely beheld at some point the CIA World Factbook, a map and reference manual of Planet Earth and its inhabitants upon which nearly everyone could agree.
Maybe you read parts of it from a floppy disk or a CD-ROM for that social studies project due tomorrow. Or scanned its list of countries for Latvia, because that is the country you are representing next week in Model U.N. Even better, you wandered the earth in your imagination as you held the physical Factbook in your own hands, unfolding its maps and understanding, perhaps for the first time, that the thumbs-up gesture your friends flash each other is considered an obscene insult in parts of the Middle East, Europe and Argentina.

Encuentro con Fernando Olmeda. Gerda Taro. Fotógrafa en la guerra de España
Espacio Fundación Telefónica
C/ Fuencarral, 3, Madrid
Con motivo de la publicación de su última obra titulada Gerda Taro. Fotógrafa en la guerra de España (Libros del K.O.), acogemos al periodista y escritor, Fernando Olmeda, en un encuentro en el que se reflexionará acerca del último año de vida de la fotógrafa alemana en España durante la Guerra Civil. Le acompañará para ello la periodista Natalia Junquera.
Gerda Taro llegó a España con Robert Capa el 5 de agosto de 1936 para documentar la guerra que acababa de comenzar. Idealista y comprometida en la lucha contra el fascismo que se extendía por Europa, quería despertar conciencias e interpelar a los gobiernos occidentales. Con esta intención, viajó por distintos escenarios del conflicto —Aragón, Andalucía, Valencia, Castilla o Madrid— y retrató a algunos de sus protagonistas, tanto combatientes como civiles.
En este libro, Fernando Olmeda, autor de la única biografía en castellano de Gerda Taro, reconstruye día a día los movimientos de la fotógrafa durante la guerra de España hasta su trágica muerte en el frente de Brunete, el 26 de julio de 1937. Con un rigor exquisito y un excelente pulso narrativo, Fernando Olmeda ofrece un retrato novedoso de la primera fotógrafa caída en un frente de combate en la historia y desvela algunas claves de sus instantáneas más emblemáticas.
Para asistir, puedes reservar tu entrada gratuita en este post. Se permitirá el acceso hasta completar el aforo.
Este evento contará con medidas de accesibilidad auditiva (bucle de inducción magnética, LSE y amplificación del sonido por auriculares). El encuentro podrá seguirse en streaming en abierto en esta web y en redes con el hashtag #GerdaTaro.

The Background Students Need to Think Critically About Iran
Ground your students in history and foundational foreign policy concepts to give them the context they need to form their own opinions about the evolving situation in Iran.
The United States and Israel launched a major assault on Iran on February 28. In response to the strikes, during which Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top leaders were killed, Iran has launched retaliatory attacks throughout the region.
The situation in the Middle East is evolving rapidly. To help your students think critically about the news they see, whether on TV, TikTok, or elsewhere, they need a basic understanding of U.S.-Iran Relations and foreign policy. In this blog, you will find timelines, readings, and simulations to help you ground your students in history and foundational concepts so they can evaluate the developing conflict and form their own opinions about the evolving situation.
