<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Laurence: The online repository will be a really useful resource. It will help students to move beyond ‘theory’ and towards witnessing real-world practices. Alternatives mapping is another extremely useful area of interest. We should also look at strengthening ties with networks and other groups that are doing similar work. A collective discussion on ‘pedagogy’ is also required, especially for institutionalised educators to break out of their pedagogic ‘ruts’ and core assumptions that tend to dominate the discourse of education. </font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Sujit: One of the courses we taught was around education through hands-on work, which was also an idea of Gandhi. Pallavi is working on a project trying to locate such similar pedagogic practices from around the world. The repository we are collecting (as part of WG1) will also help in educating in different ways, helping more diverse groups access such pedagogic materials.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Massimo: It is important to maintain the network and share our experiences, as well as optimise the participation within the network. There is also a need for putting together resources which should be used for highlighting (grassroots) stories alongside our pedagogic materials. Sharing our common goods, time, stories, visions, and experiences is very important.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Vasna: We should look at ways to overlap and collaborate with other networks, such as Ecoversities.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Elizabeth: Knowledge exchange is a process that we have been working on so we have some experience with that. Alongside sharing of knowledge, we also want to see some grounding actions. Thinking about how to use our time to achieve some of these goals and also have a larger impact will be important. </font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Ashish: On the mapping process, GTA has been working on an open sourced Mapping software to map alternative networks and practices. While it won’t document all alternatives processes across the world (as that would be impossible), it will cover many important grassroots practices, organisations etc. The Map will allow for anyone to add to it, so we can have a subsection on alternative pedagogy-based mapping which PeDAGoG members can lead.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Elizabeth: As part of the Centre for Teaching and Learning, we are planning to work on a series of open talks on radical pedagogy. We can see how to include PeDAGoG in that process.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Christian: I’m interested in the idea of radical pedagogy, with time, I would also look to contribute. </font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Sujit: Audio-video material is also important, as mentioned by members here. The problem is that there is a huge amount of such material, and we need to put together small write-ups for these materials for better organisation and ease of access.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Ashish: We can look at internship opportunities for support as well. </font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Pallavi: On the question of knowledge sharing, we can possibly try one event for inward-facing sharing, and we can then look at whether we would like to have more such inward-facing events, or public events.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Elizabeth: It might help now to figure out some initial ideas for speakers for the sharing sessions. Suggestions include Christian, and Sujit and Pallavi. </font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Laurence: To avoid the problem of the same people always presenting, we can send an open invitation on the PeDAGoG list if anyone would like to share their work.</font></span></li>
<li style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span><font face="arial, sans-serif">Ashish: We can also look at groups and communities outside our networks as well, such as the Kurdish Rojava movement or Zapatistas.</font></span></li>

<b>Updates from working groups<br>
<br>
Working Group 1: Pedagogic
and knowledge sharing to
build and strengthen
repositories of materials</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>One option
is to use the GTA platform.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Start an
independent website</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Shared cloud
drive</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Funds are
required, a coordinator is
necessary.<br>
<br>
<b>Comments </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Ashish:
Another question is whether
the space would be passive or
interactive. Would it also
require an internal and
external section?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Upamanyu:
Moodle is an option to look
into</span><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal">—free
open source learning
management system</span><span><br>
<br>
<b>Working Group 2: Research
collaborations and action
research<br>
</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Melanie Bush
can help in this group with
processing the data<br>
<br>
<b>Comments</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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).<br>
<br>
<b>Working Group 3:
Co-organization of events
(inward-facing)</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Along
similar lines to Group 2, and
there is more work/thinking
required.<br>
<br>
<b>Working Group 5: Collective
Values and Principles of the
PeDAGoG network</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Following
document has been worked upon:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17XEzP8uyXYlbMS_RF9tJ7GOB-M1MpOhs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111534508705890427151&rtpof=true&sd=true" target="_blank"><span>https://docs.google.com/document/d/17XEzP8uyXYlbMS_RF9tJ7GOB-M1MpOhs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111534508705890427151&rtpof=true&sd=true</span></a><br>
<br>
<b>Comments</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Sujit: Many
people in this group are part
of institutions which might
not be in line with PEDAGOG’s
ethics.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Vasna: Many
of us are restricted by our
institutions, but it is
important to have these
explicit guiding principles
within these alternative
spaces. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Rama: These
ethics can be a reference
while critiquing the
institutional constraints
faced by many of us. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>Ashish: the
group can also play the role
of advocacy such as with
statements of solidarity. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span>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. <br>
<br>
<b>Moving Forward</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span><b>Group 1</b>
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. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span><b>Group 2</b>
is working on a questionnaire
for members, Melanie will also
assist the group.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"></span><span><b>Group 5</b>
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.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span></span><br>
</p>
<p><span></span><br>
</p>
<p><span><b>Next
Meeting:</b> 1,2,4,5,6 Feb as
possible next dates. Upamanyu
will send out a Doodle Poll
soon.</span></p>

colleagues,

</div>
<div>Hope
you're all
doing well!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will
be hosting the
next online
discussion of
the PeGAGoG
group on 16th
Dec 2021 at 2
PM GMT. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>The broad
agenda of the
discussion is
as follows: <br>
<div>
<div>1.
Check-ins </div>
<div>2. Update
by the
working groups
- including
follow up
actions/support required by
the groups</div>
<span>3. Plans
for the
upcoming year
- including a
discussion on
how to make
the group more
active</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Here's
the link for
the meeting: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2598651679" target="_blank">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2598651679</a><br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div>This will
be a follow-up
on the meeting
held in June
this year. You
can access the
key points
from the
previous
meeting here:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X4p8-Lf6CDDIxyzs8Jc5xx6mb3fB3bSDYsYPbZmJSK8/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X4p8-Lf6CDDIxyzs8Jc5xx6mb3fB3bSDYsYPbZmJSK8/edit?usp=sharing</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lastly,
it would be
nice if the
different
working groups
formed in the
previous meet
could provide
a short report
of their
progress to
the larger
group before
the meeting
(particularly
the working
groups on
research
possibilities
and
inward-facing
events),
though we will
explore this
further during
the meeting
itself.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Looking
forward to
seeing you all
there!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
