[PeDAGoG] Reading list around regenerative futures for Young Adults?

Thu Sep 17 16:46:36 CEST 2020

Good day, comrades!

To aid in our remote learning classes or educational programs with the
grassroots, we invite you all to check out our social media campaign,
*Lawan.*

Alternative Grassroots Narratives in Southeast Asia* documents the stories,
experiences, and struggles of various grassroots communities and peoples'
organizations in the region. For this time, we seek to cover the successful
strategies engaged by communities to respond to the coronavirus pandemic *in
their own terms*, especially in light of inept and even draconic pandemic
responses adopted by some SEA governments.

Our first case featurette includes the Bakwit School with the Save Our
Schools Network. We'd love to invite you to get to know them as well
through their social media account:
https://www.facebook.com/saveourschoolsnetwork/. Support, donations, and
partnerships may be facilitated here

We hope that we continue our engagements beyond emails and put them onto
praxis! Stay safe!

Best,

"Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are
they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice and from it
alone."
Mao Tse-tung, *Where Do Correct Ideas Come From?*
