The collection guides are
preparing unique procedures that will reflect this generic outline:
Context: Meet those gathered and discover the concerns
and hopes each person brings related to this collection.
Part I:
Review collection intention and what is going on in the world today with
current
challenges, climate change and the
virus.
Part II:
Recall what we learned in the past and discern how website can share
relevant
learnings.
Part III:
So what? Dialogue about new
perspectives, resolves, potential actions.
Reflection: Session summary and reminder of next
collection dialogue.
*****
Bear with us as we
learn how to virtually gather and dialogue together. Our team is testing
the Google Meet platform which allows up to 200 to participate. We intend to
record each dialogue and have a notetaker. In conversation with Larry Philbrook, he
enthusiastically agreed to host follow-up session(s) this summer to build on
the May meeting and engage people on the other side of the world – truly making
this a global research assembling.
If you are
interested in participating in the collection dialogues,
(1) Review the archives website (https://icaglobalarchives.org), to identify your passion and interests;
(2) Go to Google and sign up for a gmail
address (Open Google, click on circle with letter of your name in upper right corner,
next to nine dots – add new email under manage accounts);
(3) register by emailing Lynda Cock (lyndacock@gmail.com), telling her which collection(s) you are
interested in participating in. Instruction on how to connect to Google Meet will
come with your registration confirmation.
