First time blogger
Hello fellow elearning students,
After having forgotten my password and struggling to gte a new one I am very pleased to be in here writing in my very first blog – very exciting or is it?
Do you enjoy blogging and for those of you that blog what do you mainly use blogging for? To participate in discussion, share ideas, etc?
Ok well on a more serious note I am starting to think about the group work task althoug I am still looking for my community but I thought I would share some information about my paasions to see if there are any of you who may have similar interests and woudl liek to form a group with me for the second assessment task.
I am deeply committed to social justice and worked in the community legal sector for many years as a community development worker and a solicitor focusing on the areas of law that affect the lives of marginalised communities. The area of my owkr that I was most passionate about was community legal education because for me that was about assisting people to become empowered citizens that felt willing and able to change their circumstances. I also did a lot of work with the broader community with regards to racism, homophobia, disphobia, etc.
To cut the long story short I am very interest in the broad area of human rights education – not so much teaching about human righst and its antional and international framework but more working with community around cultural and attitudinal change in the area of human rights – in other words working towards a world where there is a celebration of diversity and where respect and inclusion thrive.
I am looking for a e-community that focuses on this kind of education – what we may call transformative educaiton and I am not finding much on point but there are some education based communities that are of interest.
So let me know if there are any of you that would be intersted in looking at the design of a community that is intersted in social change and action.
Cheers,
Tatiana
