Social Learning Programs - #TeachFromAbroad

 

Having coined the phrase this morning #TeachFromAfrica 

and then asked a friend what they might teach for 40 minutes 

a week online to Vienna, it has been expanded to include Asia 

and thus #TeachFromAbroad

of course that also incluldes UK people offering an online course

and over time coming to Vienna to deliver it in person

to honour today, it might be called #Sunday'sCool even 

- its 04:35 here in Vienna

06:30 Sunday

Approaching Ro and his team in Bangladesh, as well as Jonathan, Denis, Khalid, & Gervin in Kenya and Uganda for courses they might offer at the Hilfswerk location in Vienna advertised thru the WienXtra and Vienna Family Networks as well as English Speaking parents in Vienna. Secondary or primary locations could be the Social Learning Spaces at The Tube Station, Pickwicks and Pizzeria Mama Mia :-) Maybe Na Nang too after last night :-) 

Social Learning Program - Chess

 

Last week I got to play chess against a 5 year old, we played 3 games, I played my best game and was (surprisingly)  fully concentrated and was very impressed with the skills and attention of my opponent 

It sparked fresh inspiration and motivation in me to look at how chess might bring people together, and how the need for internet for chess might drive support for wifi hotspots in what I am calling Vienna's 25th District and Vienna's 26th District, striving to bring those "districts" "digital equality" - which now that I write it, is interesting. Unlike some "equality" that we are fighting for, I think we can clearly measure digitial equality, and would be "that those who want it can have the same affordable  and reliable access to the internet as we have in Vienna."

Pilot project ideas -  A summer of chess ..

June to August - the summer holidays in Vienna - Indoor and Outdoor Chess

some ideas to consider 

- A wifi enabled flohmarket stall, created and run by kids, with books and chess sets for sale, as well as a couple of games going on, locally and online  ( A pop up chess shop in a shop - Volkshilfe - 2 locations come to mind ? ) 

- Large format chess in the parks and town squares

- Chess sessions in cafes and Schanigartens, plus the Vienna City Library, and also perhaps in the park summer betreuung programs run in 160 parks in Vienna ( as seen recently in Erlachplatz in the Favoriten Supergraetzl. )

history - Sunday 

I called Ajabna up to clarify some of our recent conversations , linkedin instant chat 

 We proposed a short pilot, Kids zoom together then stop and watch some of Ada Twist locally, and then zoom again to discuss what they saw and thought

Ada Twist video link is here Social Learning Programs 

 

I will later  explain that I would like all the members to have a learning plan and a CV, reviewed monthly with their mentor,  

As for CV, here is my coaching offer on that topic

 

and here a sample learning plan for you to view 

 

One model for the Learning Space, around what we are doing at the moment, is to have 6 people together for an hour before the Connecting People with Passion Saturday zoom calls on 11,18 and 25 May. This would enable them to chat together before joining the zoom calls.
