GLOSSARY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT - COMMUNITIES of PRACTICE and ACTION RESEARCH
THIS PAGE IS BEING DEVELOPED AS A WEB PAGE
Local development as a social process ... Emergent, Relational, Conversational, Autonomous, Self-organized, Non-hierarchical, Participatory, Collaborative, Interactive, Reflexive Action Research-Learning, Systemic, Networked ...
This page, started during the CPsquare's Web 2.0 Conference (Jan 2006) and being developed by Giorgio Bertini , with resources (links) in english, as an introductory multidisciplinary knowledge-base (theories, methodologies, techniques and experiences; alphabetically ordered) to facilitate conversations about: 1) Local Development; 2) Action Research and Learning; 3) Communities of Practice; 4) Networking Local Communities; and, 5) Networking and Web 2.0 Technologies.
It is divided in six - interrelated - streams of conversations: 1) Theories; 2) Methodologies and Approaches; 3) Tools and Techniques; 4) Resources for Local Communities; 5) Networking Local Communities and Web 2.0 Technologies; and, 6) Local Development and Action Learning - Experiences.
This page will evolve into an emergent blog-wiki ... to cultivate global literacies, facilitate conversations, social learning and cooperative research among those interested in local development, action research and communities of practice , with: 1) multilingual resources (links, docs ...); 2) conceptual maps; 3) learning paths along those conceptual maps; and, 4) action research-learning ideas about cycles along local communities paths and conceptual maps; that might serve for conversations and collaborative iniciatives.
