This gathering begins on Thursday... *Virtual Planetary Gathering 2020* https://ecoversities.org/events/virtual-planetary-gathering-2020/?fbclid=IwA... We have designed this year’s Global Gathering as a learning journey that supports us to embrace this madness of a year. *The learning journey is going to be 3 days long and it will be a space for us to share our thoughts, our ideas, intentions, connections, our hearts, our voices and our spiritual connection that goes beyond physical encounters. * *Each day of the gathering will be grounded in an ‘oasis’ session – a session that will bring together in one space all participants – from all time zones and communities from around the world.* The oasis will open a space of reflection about us as a network – what happened so far, what are the different activities/projects/working groups that we can interact with and what are our collective dreams, hopes and visions for the Alliance. *In between the 3 oasis sessions*, you´ll get a chance to listen/offer your gifts to others in “beduin stops” (Zoom sessions with a lot of imagination :p) to have some tea, make your camels drink some water, dance, enjoy conversations, etc). Join the participants list! Let us know you are planning to attend by adding your name and details in this sheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KSG-wpw4nOAPG77si1xuC0ltABMwF7-2kxtb-7UKH_U/edit#gid=0> – knowing how many people intend to participate will allow us to prepare the event better. And, if it helps you, we can send the schedule of the event and latest information about the event directly in your inbox. Sign up on Hylo! Hylo is an open source social tool that supports networks such as Ecoversities to connect, share and keep in touch. We will use it during this gathering to post updates about the event, share learnings and capture ideas.

Dear all,

Apologies for the absence of the monthly discussion thread in the last few months! I got quite caught up in work for the US elections.

Welcome to the many new members who have joined in the last couple months. If you haven't already done so, please feel free to introduce yourself to the wider group! What is your background, your work, and what brings you to PeDAGoG?

This network functions best when its members connect with each other, and that means asking questions, initiating discussions, and sharing ideas. At the beginning of each month, I send out an email for "open discussion and updates" to invite everyone to share something with the group. You can reply directly here or start a new thread. Anything and everything relating to post-development and pedagogy is most welcome: learning experiences, teaching materials, tools, perspectives, etc.

- What's something interesting you learned this month? - What's an exciting professional update you'd like to share with this group? - What's something that's been on your mind this month that's germane to PeDAGoG? - What's something you'd like to get feedback on from the PeDAGoG community?

As always, our humble shared doc is available for everyone to use to (1) learn about others in the PeDAGoG network and (2) to share information and materials with others. You can find it here: https://pad.globaltapestryofalternatives.org/pedagog
