DESCRIPTION

KEY STACKHOLDERS

BACKGROUND

Learning in The Literature?

Describe our approach to people already in the educational field and therefore show ourselves to be legitimate

Method/theory would be bigger than any of us so less likely to get caught up in opinionated conflicts

Shared language in our un/learning community

Use an approach that was congruent with the topic,

prepared not to find anything useful and to make up our own if necessary!

What to do With This?

how your own models/theories of learning and unlearning compare with Gaia's

develope your stories

critique and re-assemble Gaia's concepts

Do some diagnostic work using the models @ Gaia

Actively engaged with noticing your un/learning capacities

Selective reading and choosing info

Models & Theories @ Gaia

Complex adaptive ecosystems

forms the basis of the 'pedagogy' in Gaia University today

enabled us to describe our 'espoused theory'

construct our un-institution (Gaia U)

so what we say matches what we do

How were we Learning?... Though:

GOALS: something congruent with the way of thinking (of nature, systems oriented, social ...) proposed by permaculture.
