journey that supports us to embrace this madness of a year. <b><span style="border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in">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. </span></b></span></p>

a session that will bring together in one space all participants – from all
time zones and communities from around the world.</span></b><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> 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.</span></p>

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).</span></p>

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.</div><div><br></div><ul><li>What's something interesting you learned this month?</li><li>What's an exciting professional update you'd like to share with this group?</li><li>What's something that's been on your mind this month that's germane to PeDAGoG?</li><li>What's something you'd like to get feedback on from the PeDAGoG community?</li></ul><div><br></div><div>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: <a href="https://pad.globaltapestryofalternatives.org/pedagog" target="_blank">https://pad.globaltapestryofalternatives.org/pedagog</a></div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Brandon</div></div>
