A holiday read...
It talks of "opening learning" with some messages that I thought relate well to our inquiries....
Small groups driven by purpose and passion, who...
...critically don't separate learning from doing
...gain knowledge through collaborative action and the results of their actions determine what they need to know next
Sowing seeds...

Happy to chat with you if you are interested in pursuing any aspect of this, further. Certainly no expert, but keen to learn with you....
Recruiting...
After Monday, I am in Bangkok for the week. Thanks to HODs and staff involved over the holidays and in this period - your input is invaluable to us getting the right people.
Have a great day and week!!
I won't be far from email, if you need to contact me.
