> 4. *Advocacy for PeDaGoG*: Exploring the social media platform /

>       * social-media presence?
>       * Series of events where we share the approaches we are taking -
>         webinar series from PEDAGOG?
>       * Think about what gaps (geographical, thematic) exist and could
>         be filled (e.g., currently lack of members from Africa)?
>       * Creating a map of our expertise -  create a visual tool with
>         themes that concern this group - overlapping circles?
>       * Can some of us find institutional backing, funds?
>
>      2. PEDAGOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING ACTIVITIES:
>
>     Potential to develop sub-groups on the following as a start:
>
>       * Feminism and political ecology
>       * Teaching exchange through zoom co-teaching
>       * Collaborative journal article writing
>       * Collaboration on Masters education and exchange and summer
>         schools
>       * Youth activist-research outside of mainstream academic structures
>
>      3. COLLECTIVE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE PEDAGOG NETWORK
>
>       * Ethics and values of PeDAGoG
>
>     We need a statement on these for the kinds of transformations we
>     want in society, the kind of academics/learning/teaching we feel
>     is 'right', and the ethics for our own internal functioning of
>     PeDAGoG as a network
>
>       * Suggestion: Small group of volunteers to start a draft
>
>     Three levels that might be important:
>     1. Ethics of the transformations we want in society - direction of
>     the transformaiton
>     2. Ethics of our own teaching and learning spaces
>     3. Ethics of the PEDAGOG network itself - open, inclusive,
>     non-hierarchical
>     Keep in touch!
>     Solidarity,  Vasna, Brandon, Ashish, Julia
