schedule the Zoom meeting tomorrow, so Hans will send the Zoom

breakout session come Sunday, 06June (instead of me,
anticipating my mother's hospital admission). Another
colleague Ryan, our social media coordinator, will also attend
the Sunday meeting. I will try to join, will look for a way.</div>

<p>V. good idea. I am marking also Julia and Angging, the
others to respond to the earlier mail, in csae they have
ideas for themes. We could also look at the minutes of the
previous meeting, where some follow up actions were
decdied on, if we want to pick any of them up again ... I
am copying Julia's notes from that meeting below. Also
adding Vasna here who was helping coordinate that meeting.
<br>
</p>
<p>One immediate task is to reconstruct the repository of
courses/materials/approaches that several members had
contributed, and which we lost due to a fire in the server
building that hosts the GTA website ... I am copying in
Franco to ask if we were able to recover that. Else, we
can rebuild it. <br>
</p>
<p>Pallavi, can you make a proposal for these thematic
groups that we can send out on the list in advance? <br>
</p>
<p>thanks <br>

</p>
<p>Dear friends, Many thanks to all who could make it and
join. It was a joy getting to know you more directly and
starting to draft collaborative action! <br>
</p>
To keep everyone in the loop, we are sharing the discussion
results. <br>
Please everyone - also and especially if you couldn’t be in
the session - be invited to add your thoughts and ideas and
build on it collectively. <a href="https://board.net/p/PeDAGoG_Networking" target="_blank">https://board.net/p/PeDAGoG_Networking</a>
<br>
One important outcome of conversations is, that it would be
fruitful to gather round in “working groups” around
different topics and actions. We have started collecting
some, but obviously the list is non-conclusive and can
continuously be elaborated. Everyone is invited to add their
names to the list of volunteers! <br>
<br>
<u>Three points on interaction we would like to highlight in
particular:</u> <br>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="1" start="1">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">People are welcome to invite
others within their networks to join PEDAGOG - and maybe
include a link for the mail address to subscribe</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">If people would prefer to
remain anonymous on the public spaces, they can email
Brandon to express their interest in particular groups
and he can connect them.</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">The lesson from today is that
everyone is welcome to initiate an activity, a meeting
or a discussion in the network so please feel free to go
ahead and suggest things!</li>
</ol>
<u>Some immediate points on the next steps: </u><br>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="A" start="1">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">STRUCTURE AND ORGANISING</li>
</ol>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Organising the communication
and sharing in the PEDAGOG space so that material is
accessible and not overwhelming the list </li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">social-media presence? </li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Series of events where we
share the approaches we are taking - webinar series from
PEDAGOG?</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Think about what gaps
(geographical, thematic) exist and could be filled
(e.g., currently lack of members from Africa)?</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Creating a map of our
expertise - create a visual tool with themes that
concern this group - overlapping circles? </li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Can some of us find
institutional backing, funds? </li>
</ul>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="A" start="2">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">PEDAGOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE
SHARING ACTIVITIES:</li>
</ol>
Potential to develop sub-groups on the following as a start:<br>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Feminism and political ecology</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Teaching exchange through zoom
co-teaching</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Collaborative journal article
writing </li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Collaboration on Masters
education and exchange and summer schools </li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Youth activist-research
outside of mainstream academic structures</li>
</ul>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" type="A" start="3">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">COLLECTIVE VALUES AND
PRINCIPLES OF THE PEDAGOG NETWORK <br>
</li>
</ol>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Ethics and values of PeDAGoG </li>
</ul>
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 <br>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li style="margin-left:0cm">Suggestion: Small group of
volunteers to start a draft</li>
</ul>
Three levels that might be important:<br>
1. Ethics of the transformations we want in society -
direction of the transformaiton<br>
2. Ethics of our own teaching and learning spaces<br>
3. Ethics of the PEDAGOG network itself - open, inclusive,
non-hierarchical<br>
Keep in touch!<br>

<div>Thanks. No confusion now! Am in fact happy this way
as I was planning to ask you to include Sujit in the
initial group of people.</div>
<div>I have a suggestion though- like last time if we
could set up small breakout rooms but this time with
pre planned themes announced prior to the meetup? That
may allow us to move more concretely forward.</div>
<div>For example, I might be keen to volunteer in
setting up an updated and diverse reading list on key
Alternative themes. Another could be interested in
working on the values/ ethics of PEDAGOG. If we could
design this online meet time that allows us to know
that say for the next few months this is where we
contribute ?<br>

<p>Hi Pallavi, no it was always intended to be open
to full PeDAGoG list, we were only checking with
those of you who responded to the earlier mail
that we sent to the full list, to check if you are
available on this date ... since we need at least
a critical core to be there! sorry if the mail
caused confusion <br>

<div>Hope you're doing well!<br>

As part of our attempt at revitalising
PeDAGoG to become an actively engaged
group, we have decided to host an
online discussion for the group on 6th
June, 2 PM GMT. </div>

</div>
<div>The discussion can broadly range
over an update on innovative
activities that members have been
upto, and the various activities that
we can pursue as a network, and how. </div>

<div>It would be great if people can
