- Helping Chicos Ragga to conceptualize songs, dance moves etc
- Mr Black might perform at the event!! This will be a big draw for young people!
- Environmental Guardians are part of the government - they work closely with ? EPA and Cardique - 2 departments of the government - Guardians help them to collect environmental data
- The mayor of Cartagena will be at the event, as well as at CAVA - he will open the ceremony at CAVA
Creation of 4 OERs
- 2 for Guardians, created by citizens - but Guardians are providing techinical support for these MOOCs
- Using openEdX to create them
- 1st - about environmental education - to engage people in caring for environment
- Creating videos to explain to people what the data means - what these variables mean for the environment, the city
- 2nd one - Environmental Management - for the Guardians
- They will use this resource in the training of other Guardians
- One MOOC for young women -
- Women experience obstetric violence
- So many People coming from Venezuela too
- The health system can’t support
- Women go to hospital or medical center to give birth, the procedures are not up to standards, not enough resources,
- Create a resource to visualize the problem -
- Young women aren’t aware of the problem, so don’t know what to do about it
- Creating video stories about real cases of obstetric violence
- For example, knowing which hospitals and clinics are good and which are not
- Creating a blog too - in Wordpress - a place of interaction between the women and other actors
- One MOOC for youth policy in Cartagena
- Cartagena did not have any policy about youth
- Plataforma Jueves (?) - platform for youth - they are create a methodology to create a youth policy
- Create a platform to facilitate this communication
- (Liam - for the Mooc stuff, it may be useful to consider TIGed as the host learning managemennt system, no pressure :))
- They are working on content now,
- Silvia - how would that work?
Don’t need to download anything
- Multi-lingual, FREE
- Example https://sdg.tiged.org/Townhall/writing/
- This one was put together very quickly
- This would allow TIG and FUTCO to work together!
- TIG has worked with IDRC using TIGed as well (Outside IN) so there is a basis for doing this http://outsidein.tigweb.org/
- Could maybe even do both and compare them
- Liam could give more examples - finished product and blank template “sandbox” to play with - he will share these
- They are not locked into OpenEdX at this point so they can explore
TakingITGlobal
- Indigenous language activity at Fort York in Toronto - lots of history of Toronto
- Education days - young students coming to learn about Indigenous rights
- Project Heart - making tiles - picture of students from residential schools one side, hopeful images on other side
- These were mounted in a canoe
- https://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/the_residential_school_system/
Inclusive Design Guides (2)
- Remain designing and implementing WITH rather than FOR
- Not many on TIG staff who identify as having a disability
- Matthew Shapiro (6 wheels consulting https://www.6wheelsconsulting.com/) - has CP, wheelchair user, familiar and interested in what TIG is doing
- How do we create an inclusive organisational culture?
- Figuring out the best way to engage Matthew - to ensure it goes well
- Wander Walk - for example - those who don’t walk - how to make this inclusive - have to revisit the activities, be open and transparent about the process
- Maybe do a design crit at IDRC too? Maybe down the line
- Workshop activities too
- Dana will share some of the other activities we’ve been working on - storytelling workshops, cities work, etc, - need to update the Guide activities too
IDRC
- Also how to generalize the Cities Resources guide - and make applicable to activism, youth groups etc
- The lunchboxes idea - OSFO - how to create your own inclusive design guide - piece the modules together
- Storytelling tool
- New design
- Architecture changes
- Writing it into upcoming grants so it will definitely be a long-term thing
- Gregor will be shifting his work to ILDH as well - that’s getting updated too!
