When things fall apart I look over my shoulder to those who came before me and to those who walk beside me to find meaning and way forward. I seek out this opportunity, not to pick up the same pieces as in a puzzle and try and put them back together but, to co-construct something stronger, more durable, one that speaks to an authenticity that I have struggled to find in education.
2020 provides this unique opportunity to think through what is really important to be involved in. The time to throw my energies into a project and co-create a revolution in education that goes beyond schools and universities, to include our communities. Spaces and places in which to learn, create and innovate for a sustainable future where we can all thrive together. I am thinking of possibilities grounded in this earth that provide for struggle, in peace. Nothing that is worth anything comes easy.
