hello from Paris

What was the name of the book the Leon is referring to? I didn't quite catch the title

"Education for Sustainable Development in the Postcolonial World" by Leon Tikly

Thank you so much!

Please, is there a chance that attendees would be emailed these very insightful slides?

western schooling - conceived by Christianity raised by capitalism

Hi Jennifer - yes, we'll share the slides and a recording of the session with all attendees

Great! Thanks, Julia.

Thank you

TESF is funding Southern-led research in India, Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland and South Africa - calls open NOW!

Multi national and bilateral donors have prioritised achieving SDG4. Their advocacy seeks to raise billions of dollars for aid to education over the next decade to ensure all children are enrolled in conventional education systems. Will this hasten or delay decolonisation? Keith Lewin

Thank you SO much, Leon! Very informative.

Thank you, Leon, for a very stimulating talk.

think you could debate some of those concepts leon very stimulating

Is it still possible to join the next talks?

My first PhD article is an example of my way of decolonizing myself before starting the actual PhD project in a Sámi context. Parfa Koskinen, K. (2020), "Developing a researcher identity of relevance for remote Indigenous language education", International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, Vol. 37 No. 5, pp. 341-350.

Starting a decolonizing, rather.

It is still possible to join the next talks, Elisabete! Here is the link: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/education/events/2021/bce10-24feb.html

Thank you!!!

There is a waiting list if sessions are full and spaces often become available

How dow e get on the waiting list - such a pity to come to the first two and not the third - forward looking event

Can you not open up more spaces?

I thoroughly enjoyed that, Leon. Thank you!

We'll do our best to open more spaces (zoom subscription capacity allowing) - the waiting list link should be there but we will check on that after this session

There are still spaces on both of the next two events, only this one was sold out so far! Please email ed-events@bristol.ac.uk if you have had trouble registering for the next two sessions

Carol Black, the director of the documentary film “Schooling the World”, has given a talk about WEIRD society that might interest people on this call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imd1GykFGJU

I have my tickets, but think of the message being spread more widely-and potentially more action!

Shouldn’t we encourage and support young people who are asking for a more relevant curriculum in schools - groups such as “Teach the Future” in England and Scotland often seem to have a better grasp of the problems than politicians and policy makers.

Thanks Smriti, an interesting looking reference.

I recently sat in on a meeting between the UK group of young people called Pupil Power and a group of English head teachers. The young people knew about Freire - the head teachers did not.

Lovely, Veronica!

I tend to think that peace is part of this process-peace with our environment and others. Do watch an inspiring exposition on this from Sussex two weeks ago.

Thank you Veronica.

Thank you, Verónica. I would really like to read more of your work

Very powerful talk, Veronica!

'Learn with the world, and not about the world' how lovely

Fabulous talk - common worlds work is essential and very importtant

Thanks Veronica!

Great presentation!

Here is also a link to the discussion paper Veronica mentioned: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000374923

Wonderful and stimulating talk, Veronica

Experimental collaboration with the world. Fabulous! Thank you Veronica

Thank you for the paper!!!

We need to open up time and space in our school systems for young people to pursue their concerns - I am campaigning for “20% Time” - all schools should allocate 20% off curriculum time for student directed learning - resourced by the abolition of GCSE. derry.hannam245@gmail.com

Unschooling School shares a good article about decolonizing schools. It is by Je’anna Clement if the

Democratic education and other alternatives to conventional schooling are actually approaching learning on a way that resonates with everything that it is being said in here. I wonder why are they still so marginal and not known by the big public?

(Sorry, I hit “Return” accidentally. This continues my above). Je’anna Clements works with the Riverstone Village learning centre in South Africa. This is a link to her article about decolonizing schools: https://www.unschoolingschool.com/decolonizing-school.html.

I would say the same about the Transdisciplinary Chart, from the 90's...

Thank you - wonderful thought rpovoking

Thank you, Catherine! Very urgente and very chalenging

Watch the CIE café on 4 th.FEB.-no I'm not from Sussex ,but I found it well related to today's topic. However I can't find it now!

Thank you Catherine. There are big issues there...

Je’anna Clements and Heather MacTaggart, the founder of Unschooling School will be presenting at the AEROx conference this weekend. Registration for the AEROx ends today. Those who would like to learn more about the AEROx can find it here: https://www.aeroconference.org

Interesting with the two levels of indigenization where the second one questions the rules of the game.

Catherine, I fully agree that we need to be looking at ourselves more deeply. Thank you.

I love the ethical worriership. Really needed. Thank you, Catherine

My apologies for leaving early but I'm grateful for all that I have heard thus far and I am looking forward to the next session. Thank you to all the panellists and those working behind the scenes to facilitate this webinar. Take care, all and stay safe...

we should aim to incorporate indigenous cosmologies while not dismissing a foundation of indigenous epistemology of places and spaces (land, land usage, and recognize traditional spaces of sovereignty). We can “pat ourselves on the back” for labeling curriculum/policies/et al as including indigenous cosmologies, while ignoring pressing present issue, thus failing to incorporate a holistic indigenous paradigm. This may lead to dangerous complacency if we are not critical in “how we incorporate” and careful to holistically* incorporate indigenous cosmologies (ideologies, knowledges, and also current realities).

I’m very active with groups addressing the concerns being expressed here. Please contact me if you think from what I have posted above that I might be of some use to you. rfransham@rogers.com

UNESCO GEM Report - debating inclusive education is like debating abolition of slavery or ending apartheid

Feyerabend said in his famous book Against the method :" . Cultures change,they interact with other cultures and the indefiniteness resultingtherefrom is reflected in their worlds. This is what makesintercultural understanding and scientific change possible: potentiallyevery culture is all cultures” . I would like to ask, which should be our role as educators within the school to enhance not one method but many methods considering that many school system are embedded in certain specific “western” programs

Hi Ricardo - if you type your Q in the chat, the panelists will be able to see it - they may not be able to see it in the chat.

Hi Ricardo and others who have posed questions here in the chat, do you mind pasting them over to the Q&A - Leon will do his best to get to them all :)

(apologies Ricardo, I mean type your Q in the Q&A function, not the chat!)

Thank you. I have done this now! Many thanks

Thank you Mehdi, please do add your Q to the Q&A section

Sorry I have to leave. Thank you for a very stimulating event. I look forward to the next one.

Cognitive development is enhanced through language learning, surely?

I also need to leave, unfortunately. Thank you all and the reading list :)

COST Action “Decolonizing development” reflects about aid and “development” practice: https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA19129/

I have been having discussions with people about the possibility of making November 20th an Earth Day except that it would be about reimagining education. Would the presenters and people attending this meeting have any interest in pursuing this idea? Perhaps it could be tied to the report coming out in November.

Absolutely

Thank you for this rich and engaging webinar! Looking forward to next week.
