Community Circle Objectives
We meet with the aim to:
- ensure a safe space to explore our ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in our use and implementation of culturally responsive, decentralized, freely available resources and platforms,
- encourage intersectional analysis of and organizing around digital tools and education resources as it pertains to our own work and learning communities,
- engage educators, developers, policy makers, funders, designers, researchers, and lifelong learners from a wide variety of backgrounds and identities.
Once we meet regularly, we will define what success looks like for the group depending on our collective skills and resources. The objectives listed above are subject to change based on input from participants.
