Dear PeDAGoG colleagues

 

We had a meeting of Working Group 1 : “Pedagogic and knowledge sharing to build and strengthen repositories of materials”  on 26th Jan 2022. Sharing our thoughts

              1.      The materials will be hosted in the RED ( Radical Ecological Democracy : searching for alternatives to unsustainable and inequitable model of ‘development’ ) platform and Pallav Das will help us to do that . Kindly check out https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/ . Later if we find the resources ( people and finance) , we might set up an independent website.

2.      The  page will have (a)  something about PeDAGoG (b) the Materials (c) announcements (d) feedback-comments section.

3.      We will start with all the materials which have already been shared by members

4.      The Working Group 1 will welcome volunteers for (a) helping to sort and classify all the materials which we already have (b) help with web design (c) some of  the materials might require a small blurb to be friendly to users
