Dear all , if those who see this in their inbox in time can make it- it would be good to have a discussion *about the future of this group.* We have 171 members registered (see the google sheet here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sY1zrrRvYYh0l-6qCmRjQJwKun4BJMOH7jRJ7XK2huI/edit#gid=0>) but often we find it hard to even get a quorum. With very few members attending and often the very same ones joining in, PeDaGoG seems to be of not much use to many amongst us for now ( am sure for valid and diverse reasons). So perhaps it's time to bring it to a close or it is time to think of it in a different avatar. If many of you could pop in today and share what you think it would be of use.

Please find the link to join in below --------------------------- Topic: PeDAGoG Meeting Time: Feb 7, 2023 01:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89306393200?pwd=dFVDY0lvdzBNYk1nNXFXT3AvOGlXQT09 Meeting ID: 893 0639 3200 Passcode: 555623 --------------------------- Key points discussed in the last meeting can be found below. Keynotes: - Revival of the planning committee for the “Learning through alternative futures series”. It is a very diverse and interesting group that should keep meeting. - Recommendations for next in the webinar series are as follows: 1. Samantha Hargreaves of WoMin in South Africa on alternative learning processes that combine feminist, ecological and anti-extractivist themes. 2. Alrowwad – cultural and arts society from Palestine on methods of art and pedagogy for social movements 3. Academy of Democratic Modernity on alternate learnings in the Kurdish movement 4. Frances Ferreira from Commonwealth of Learning on community programmes contributing to improved livelihoods of women and girls in underserved communities 5. Carol Anne Spreen on Learning in Third spaces - How might we restart the sharing of alternative courses and methodologies, pedagogies through meetings, mail, etc? What mediums can we use? Some suggestions include starting a book recommendations series to increase interaction within the network. Any other suggestions are welcome and it is encouraged to keep sharing updates, notes, reflections, etc in the network. - Theatre and pedagogy would be an interesting intersection to explore. A webinar/ workshop by a group of youngsters should take place. Sonali Sathaye to share with us a few instances she is working on. - Melanie Bush, Pallavi Varma Patil, and Dani Leonardo have offered to conduct a participatory workshop on “Strategies Beyond Borders: Tales of Time Banks” on 27th Jan. The discussion will be based on pedagogies that embed alternative ways of organising society. This session will also have an experience sharing by students and “Offer and Needs Market” by Post Growth Institute. Recording will be shared soon.
