CAVA and youth event in August

  • Lots of organizing work!

  • Chicos Ragga are recording - specifically a song about social justice - stories about youth in Cartagena

  • Roberto and Elbert are also organising

  • Mr Black - a musician in Cartagena  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnG_Om5FfwA

  •  

    • 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

  •  

    •  

    • 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!
