Dear all, This Sunday, March 7 at 7pm, CIRCE, https://circex.org/, will showcase their work in the context of our 7at7 event series on digital empowerment: https://7at7.ch/mar2021/
They have prepared readings from their recent book "Internet, mon amour", with Francesca Da Rimini and Diane Ludin, music, glimpses of their hacker pedagogy methods, and more. With this opportunity, I translated in English one of their articles on the topic of blended learning in Corona times (related to another great article by Donatella linked below): https://circex.org/en/news/organic-fad I really enjoyed the suggestions of small hacks like "to use the Zoom boxes (common to many /videochat/ software) dedicated to the user's name in order to write. Not name, but hacker /nicknames/, adjectives and metaphors that represent us at that moment, or even mini-poems." But also important points like the need to "combine group /videochat/ with regular individual meetings: a laborious task but ...". In general, it is a very inspiring text based on real experiences, that points to the right direction of making the best out of this situation without losing our humanity: "Spending less time online does not mean that minds, bodies, 'souls' are less connected. What is crucial is the quality of the relationship, not the quantity of monitor-minutes! Otherwise, the idea of /setting/ that quantifies, that automatically tells us how long we have been connected as if that much were a guarantee of success would pass."
