Dear RSC,
I am in the midst of writing my thesis proposal about RSC learning
Exchanges. I have a question. Can we (facilitators who have used
them) name the sources used for the exercises/activities utilized in
the LE's. I have this short list.
Will people add on to it?
Augusta Boal, Story Circles as developed by Roadside Theater,
Building Arts and Community Partnerships: A Work Kit, Training for
Change.
I am using Paula Friere "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" as the conceptual
framework and articles for the Literature Review - a couple are:
Community Change for Diverse Democracy (2007) by Barry Checkoway the
founding Director of the Centre for Community Service and Learning,
and Coaching Leadership Learning Through Partnership (2009) by Jan
Robertson at the London Center for Leadership and Learning. (They are
attached)
Checkoway distinguishes really clearly the difference between
Monocultural change, Pluralistic change and Multicultural change. He
describes advanced ideas of democracy where "lasting change comes
from a core group of people who make contact with others who share
common concerns and work together over time."
Robertson's article was published last month and has some very
helpful comments on leadership contrasting the climate of market
driven public policies with what she describes as "knowledge through
coaching, networking and professional learning communities".
I have been reading articles from the websites of Animating
Democracy, CAN, at SIAP, the Urban Institute, and other academic
journals - community psychology sparking my interest, but please let
me know if there is something you think would be good to look at.
many thanks.
