It is understandable since most of us are engaged with multiple initiatives.<br>- We will be continuing with the proposed webinars the following year. If there are any suggestions, please do share!<br>- The<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="gmail-il">PeDAGoG</span><span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>space is crucial as it provides an avenue to critically look at what pedagogies and learning is (from a non-academic stance as well).<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>- A <b>proposal to curate a core team</b>, where specific members who are interested would meet regularly to discuss the course of action. If anyone is interested, please write to me.</div><div>- Another idea floated by was to <b>formalize the group </b>and maybe source for funding, if required. Although, activities need to be consistent with a few people ready to hold the space and commit.<br>- <b>Restart work on the ethics statement for<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="gmail-il">PeDAGoG</span></b>. Volunteers or contributors could send out a mail to me and a separate meeting will be organized for the same. Angging had prepared a <b>note last year (attached below)</b>.
