[SSC] Request for participants in Saturday's Workshop on voice, inclusion.exclusion, privelege:

[Sara Motta]

Dear all,

Mike has asked me to write up some notes about the workshop on voice, inclusion/exclusion last Saturday.

I thought a productive and useful way of doing this would be if the participants in the workshop sent their comments/reflections to me and then I could put them together and send them round.

As I don't have a list of your emails I thought I'd send out the request here!
So if you did participate in the workshop and want to send me some reflections in relation to the questions we explored in the workshop that would be great.
My email is sara.motta at nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:sara.motta at nottingham.ac.uk>.

A reminder of the questions:
What is speaking and listening
What are the barriers to speaking and listening
How do we overcome these barriers
What implications/questions does this suggest for us in our process of building the SCC as an inclusive, participatory and democratic educational space?

Many thanks and looking forward to hearing from you
Sara

Importance: High

Dear all,

At our last meeting we agreed that it would be useful to run a workshop exploring issues of voice, inclusion/exclusion and privilege before the official meeting to discuss curriculum on the 30th June at Croft Street.

Details of the workshop are below. It will be held at Croft Street between 10am-12pm ( June 30th). You are welcome to arrive from 9.30am to have coffee/tea.

There are three suggested readings for the session. If you plan to participate, it would be good to try and read at least one. I will attach them in two emails as otherwise the message becomes too large to send. Here is a link to the third called 'Who Cares' http://ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/beautiful-transgressions-5/.

If you have other readings that you think would be relevant then please bring them to share on the day.

If you are not planning to participate but can support childcare on the day then please let me know.

My best wishes
Sara

This session is taken from The Body Politic course (facilitated by Sara Motta and Rebecca Beinart) that takes the body as a starting point for thinking about power, politics, art and activism - looking at the relationship between internal and external worlds.

Ear
Who is heard/not heard? Why? How do we create community and spaces of inclusion and meaningful communication?
Listening to ourselves, others, the past.
Spaces for communication and listening

The workshop will explore issues such as voice, inclusion, participation, privilege etc. We will use creative exercises, theory, storytelling and discussion to expand on the themes we're exploring. This is an opportunity to reflect on your own position and experiences and share ideas, fears and inspiration with a small group, moving between personal experience and wider questions.

The workshop is designed to draw on the wisdom of the group, question notions of what 'theory' means and who creates it and expand the possibilities for our practices of democratic and participatory education.

Childcare: Please let us know if you would need childcare in order to attend the workshop.
