A Proposal (Generating a reading list collaboratively on 'Alternative Pedagogies')
by Pallavi Varma Patil 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Dear lovely people of PeDAGoG, EDUCERE, GTA, Eco-varsities and more! (If I miss any network or name - I request Urvi- the new coordinator of PeDAGoG) to add and forward...) Kindly see the email below. Christine Dann reached out to us after the 1st webinar and suggested an interesting idea : Generating a resource list on 'alternative pedagogies' .together. If any one here is interested to contribute to this idea, please get in touch with Christine Dann directly (email below). Best, Pallavi ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Christine Dann <christine(a)horomaka.org> Date: Wed, Apr 6, 2022 at 2:19 PM Subject: Re: [PeDAGoG] Webinar recording of LIving Utopias webinar To: Pallavi Varma Patil <pallavi.vp(a)apu.edu.in> Kia ora Pallavi, I watched/listened to the webinar last night and went to bed thinking about it. When I woke up the words "It is about autonomous learning for autonomous living" were in my head. (Whereas the standard 'education' system is about Other-directed learning for Other-directed purposes - like a bullshit job, or being a good consumer, etc.) A lot of the discussion in the webinar was around this issue of autonomy, as in "how autonomous (free, innovative) can teachers employed by academic institutions be?" and "how autonomous are the students when it comes to living what they have learned - putting ideas into activist practice?" Most of my 50 year 'career' to date has been as a researcher, writer and political organiser, but I have also taught at secondary, tertiary and adult eduction levels, including subjects and courses as varied as an Honours class in Feminist Issues in Education, a night class in cottage gardening, a second year university level course on wellbeing, and a third year course on environmental policy. I also studied education to level 3 at university (1971-73) and did two honours papers in Philosophy of Education (different universities). I haven't introduced myself to the PeDaGoG group as I am no longer actively engaged in any forms of teaching. But I have been thinking about 'alternative' education for a long time, and still have an interest in it. In terms of what I might be able to contribute to the resources which you and Sujit are compiling, I thought that a reading list (with web links where relevant) to the main advocates for alternative pedagogies from the 1970s to today might be useful. I could start a draft for sharing with everyone, and they could add whoever they think is also important. I have no experience with children under 12, so what I can contribute is mostly about older students. Hopefully there will be members of PeDaGoG who are knowledgeable about doing things differently with small children - like the young man on the webinar who spoke about engaging children in livestock care by starting with teaching them to vaccinate chickens. For doing things differently with older students, George Lakey's 2010 book *Facilitating Group Learning: Strategies for Success with Adult Learners* is essential. There is more about this approach here - https://www.trainingforchange.org/ Lakey and the other trainers for change put a lot of emphasis on forming the group and stabilising it, so that everyone feels included, before they move on to whatever the actual content of the course or workshop is supposed to be. This might be important for having more long-term success with your residential courses. It is hard for people to have commitment to a project or cause and working on it with each other unless this goal is valued and reinforced as much or more than any facts or tools they may acquire from a class. I hope this is helpful. nga mihi nui (warm greetings) Christine On 5/04/22 03:06, Pallavi Varma Patil wrote: Dear all, 1.

A new article on the Radical Ecological Democracy website - "Hola, Gustavo!"- A personal tribute to Gustavo Esteva
by Pallav Das 05 Apr '22

05 Apr '22

Friends, A new article, "Hola, Gustavo!"- A personal tribute to Gustavo Esteva has been uploaded to the Radical Ecological Democracy website: https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/hola-gustavo-a-personal-tribute-to-g… The struggle for progressive “alternatives” suffered a great loss last month when one of its prominent standard bearers, Gustavo Esteva, passed away at the age of 86 in Mexico. In his remarkable and revolutionary journey spanning over six decades, Esteva redefined the very idea of “societal transformation”, and charted a unique course of praxis and theory for the realization of his vision. In this personal tribute, Ashish Kothari recounts Esteva's enormous contributions, and their collaboration in the quest for meaningful “alternatives”.

A new article on the Radical Ecological Democracy website - "Is Italy’s new vision for environmental protection a real commitment to carbon neutrality?"
by Pallav Das 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Friends, A new article, "Is Italy’s new vision for environmental protection a real commitment to carbon neutrality?" has been uploaded to the Radical Ecological Democracy website: https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/is-italys-new-vision-for-environment… As the need to address climate change and other environmental crises becomes increasingly critical, many countries have found it necessary to amend their national constitutions to strengthen existing provisions for environmental protection, and even introduce new ones. This past February, the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament passed legislation to amend two crucial Articles in the Constitution to align the country with the rest of Western Europe’s progressive vision on climate intervention. Fausto Corvino and Mitja Stefancic discuss the promise and challenges inherent in this significant move, particularly as the energy fallout from the on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict causes complex and worrying problems for Italy.

Whether you are already working on a project that is around experimenting with or offering alternatives to re-imagine the education systems be it on grassroots or policy levels; or whether you are experimenting with regenerative living ecosystems, be it reclaiming a land outside the city, gardening on your rooftop, co-housing in a cooperative way in the middle of the city, reclaiming public space, building in ways that service our planet, innovating ways to find water, food and energy self-sufficiently; or whether you are working to reclaim diverse knowledge/indigneous systems be that connecting us to our place, land, territory, heritage and culture, maybe you do walking tours to learn while walking, or maybe you join and accompany people on journeys to the different ecosystems and indigenous sub-cultures in Egypt, maybe you revive the value of the hand, of manual labor and the beauty in the many Egyptian crafts we have, maybe you create arts in its different forms and shapes to invite people to a transformed collective consciousness and de-center the capitalist worldviews that dominate our world. Maybe you dream, question and want company from all around the world in that! All of this and much more is welcome. We want to see you, know you, build alliances with you, assemble and gather! We want to invite you to a unique opportunity to get the vibe of this planetary community that is in 5 Continents. We are here in Egypt for the fifth Ecoversities Global Gathering. The land of the desert and the Oasis called us and we could not help but respond. We would like to share with you all a tea, coffee, some ideas on how can universities/education look like if they are in service of the land and the people? how can we walk-out from as well as open cracks in existing structures? how can heritage still be relevant, infact, be the compass? how can alivelihoods (rather than livelihoods) look like during this modern age? how can we learn-unlearn–relearn-reclaim other ways of being and existing on this world?

It is an emerging knowledge movement that is slowly building all over the world. A part of this movement can be described as a network of ‘eco-versities’—people, organizations, and communities who are reclaiming knowledge systems and a cultural imaginary to restore and re-envision learning processes that are meaningful and relevant to the challenges of our times. Although diverse in its origins, these different pedagogical initiatives both critique the existing education systems, and cultivate new practices to regenerate ecological, social, and cultural ecosystems, whilst also reflecting on the meanings of ‘home’ as locality and as an ‘economy’: hence the name ‘eco-versities’. To further the collaborations and intensify the relationships and the mutual learning among this wider network, the Eco-versities planetary gathering was organized by practitioners engaged in creating learning sites, both outside and inside the conventional academia. This will be the fifith ecoversities gathering held in-person.
