>>>>>
>>>>> - *Check ins*
>>>>> - Angging: from UPCIDS Alt Dev team
>>>>> - Adrian Schegel: Masters student from Germany working on
>>>>> post-colonial studies
>>>>> - Sujit Sinha: Ex-professor, living utopian, writing and
>>>>> translating texts into Bengali for grassroots movements as well as working
>>>>> on audio visual materials.
>>>>> - Renata Amorim: Phd student from Brazil, working with grassroots
>>>>> movements, connected with the eco village network, looking to find ways to
>>>>> engage and collaborate with the group.
>>>>> - Irene: Researcher in non-capitalist ecologically sustainable
>>>>> economics
>>>>> - Sonali Sathaye: Freelance educator. Alternative education linked
>>>>> to alternative economics is an area of interest. Working on a course on
>>>>> Climate Change for school students.
>>>>> - Rama Mohana: Faculty at IIM Ahmedabad, part of this group
>>>>> largely to learn about alternative education and contribute where possible.
>>>>> - Ashish: works with Kalpariksh, Vikalp Sangam, Global Tapestry of
>>>>> Alternatives.
>>>>> - Upamanyu: KV, VS, GTA
>>>>> - Vasna: Lund University, Sweden, GTA Core, WOmin
>>>>> - Arvin: UPCIDS Alt Dev, Community organiser in urban poor
>>>>> community.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *Updates from working groups Working Group 1: Pedagogic and knowledge
>>>>> sharing to build and strengthen repositories of materials*
>>>>> - The group made a list of the kind of materials people tend to
>>>>> share on Pedagog. The next question is where to save the materials.
>>>>> - One option is to use the GTA platform.
>>>>> - Start an independent website
>>>>> - Shared cloud drive
>>>>> - Funds are required, a coordinator is necessary.
>>>>>
>>>>> *Comments *
>>>>> - Ashish: Easy access is the question. A quick call over the next
>>>>> couple of weeks can help in moving forward. Franco (GTA), Pallav (RED) can
>>>>> help. Flarum is another possibility.
>>>>> - Ashish: Another question is whether the space would be passive
>>>>> or interactive. Would it also require an internal and external section?
>>>>> - Upamanyu: Moodle is an option to look into—free open source
>>>>> learning management system
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *Working Group 2: Research collaborations and action research *
>>>>> - A database about the members could be a starting point/referral
>>>>> point to further collaborations. A Google form can be sent out to the group.
>>>>> - Melanie Bush can help in this group with processing the data
>>>>>
>>>>> *Comments*
>>>>> - Sonali: Finding out what everyone is doing on the network could
>>>>> be quite overwhelming. It would be nice to have a framework to process that
>>>>> information.
>>>>> - Ashish: This would be very valuable. A questionnaire should go
>>>>> out soon. In order to put the information within a framework, we can create
>>>>> drop down menus (MCQs).
>>>>>
>>>>> *Working Group 3: Co-organization of events (inward-facing)*
>>>>> - Along similar lines to Group 2, and there is more work/thinking
>>>>> required.
>>>>>
>>>>> *Working Group 5: Collective Values and Principles of the PeDAGoG
>>>>> network*
>>>>> - Following document has been worked upon:
>>>>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/17XEzP8uyXYlbMS_RF9tJ7GOB-M1MpOhs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111534508705890427151&rtpof=true&sd=true
>>>>>
>>>>> *Comments*
>>>>> - Sujit: Many people in this group are part of institutions which
>>>>> might not be in line with PEDAGOG’s ethics.
>>>>> - Vasna: Many of us are restricted by our institutions, but it is
>>>>> important to have these explicit guiding principles within these
>>>>> alternative spaces.
>>>>> - Ashish: Agreeing with Vasna, as one of the reasons behind
>>>>> PEDAGOG was to create an aspirational space, to subtly push and learn from
>>>>> each other. These ethics can be a guide to what could be.
>>>>> - Rama: These ethics can be a reference while critiquing the
>>>>> institutional constraints faced by many of us.
>>>>> - Ashish: the group can also play the role of advocacy such as
>>>>> with statements of solidarity.
>>>>> - Sonali: On Ashish’s point of solidarity, it can be hypocritical
>>>>> to advocate for anti-capitalist ideas while having comfortable jobs. This
>>>>> network can play a role in promoting alternative livelihoods and real
>>>>> alternatives.
>>>>> - Ashish: PEDAGOG is also supposed to challenge our ‘comfortable’
>>>>> notions, such as finding a balance between lack of remuneration, following
>>>>> our interests, and well-paying jobs.
>>>>> - Irene: There is an imbalance of contributions within this group,
>>>>> there may be a need to push people further and become more strict with the
>>>>> members who don't contribute.
>>>>> - Ashish: Agreeing with the point made by Irene, one view can be
>>>>> to look at the network as a long term project instead of a short term
>>>>> project. There is progress being made by some working groups.
>>>>>
>>>>> *Moving Forward*
>>>>> - *Group 1* will look to hold a meeting in the coming month. Call
>>>>> for volunteers to be sent out to the larger group for help. Ashish will try
>>>>> to loop Franco and Pallav in.
>>>>> - *Group 2* is working on a questionnaire for members, Melanie
>>>>> will also assist the group.
>>>>> - *Group 5* has already put together the ethics framework. Another
>>>>> attempt can be made to send it out for comments. If there are no comments,
>>>>> then we can accept this as a final document for now.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *Next Meeting:* 1,2,4,5,6 Feb as possible next dates. Upamanyu will
>>>>> send out a Doodle Poll soon.
