The 'Glocal' Classroom Focuses on Communication for Social and Environmental Change

Submitted by dfoolen on May 22nd, 2014 10:49 AM

Networking for social and environmental change globally is the motivation for the Glocal Online Classroom.  We are four universities on four continents who have decided to build a global platform for collaboration and interchange in web-based learning, Starting in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in March, continuing in Guelph, Canada, in May, Malmö, Sweden, in September and ending at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, in November, we shall be carrying out a world series of seminars hosted by the participating universities.

The Guelph Seminar May 22-23, 2014 focuses on communication for social and environmental change. Together with CFRU 93.3, we will webcast and broadcast a World Café. In the World Café community media volunteers, researchers and activists will critically reflect on their experiences with communication and media for social and environmental change.
