We’re very enthusiastic about this opportunity and confident that it will be a rich experience for the participants. The SEM interns, guided by the pastors, will join a program of action and reflection, sharing work and conversation with one another, and with children, youth, and adults of the church, exploring both “what we believe” and “how we live our faith.” SEM interns will be challenged to develop their own practical theology. There will be specific projects in ministry, occasions for leadership, invitations to be creative, chances for recreation and, every week, a conversation about what we’re learning. The SEM internship is open to CUCC members who are post-secondary students, graduating high school seniors through college. If you know of anyone who would be interested in applying for this opportunity, or have any questions, feel free to contact us directly. Grace and peace, The Rev. David Pattee The Rev.

  • Culturally Inclusive Online Learning for Capacity Development Projects in International Contexts
    ISSN: 2311-1550 2020, Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 5-30 Culturally Inclusive Online Learning for Capacity Development Projects in International Contexts Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena University of New Mexico, USA Abstract: This paper explores cultural inclusivity in online learning design by discussing two international capacity development projects: an online tutor mentor development programme in Sri Lanka and a hybrid physician assistant training programme in Ghana. Inclusivity involves establishing partnerships and conducting needs assessments to maximise the capacity that already exists within a given context, and addressing cultural factors that impact online learning — developing a learning community, negotiating identity, power, and authority, generating social presence, supporting collaboration, engaging in authentic inquiry-based learning, navigating interactions in a second language, and developing co-mentoring relationships to support learning. The paper provides a framework, WisCom (Wisdom Communities) to guide the design of culturally inclusive online learning incorporating lessons learned from international projects. By emphasizing divergent thinking, consensus building, and the exploration of multiple solutions to complex, real-world problems, WisCom maximises opportunities for participants’ diverse backgrounds and experiences to be valued. Keywords: online learning, cultural inclusivity, culturally inclusive learning design, international partnerships, capacity development. Introduction Capacity development projects in international contexts, either funded by donor agencies or local governments, are increasingly relying on digitalization to achieve educational goals in both formal and non-formal sectors. A global survey of higher education institutions spanning all continents, more than 30 countries and 69 cases, concluded that: “Digital technology has become near ubiquitous in many countries today or is on a path to reach this state in the near future” (Orr, Weller & Farrow, 2018, p.

    season sponsor title sponsor WELCOME Every December I visit the other London, in England. While preparing for the trip last year I took notice of a new produc- tion that was the talk of town and selling out: Barber Shop Chronicles. It was being performed at one of my favourite theatres in the world — the National Theatre of England. I snapped Supporting up a ticket and crossed my fingers. The moment I walked into the the- atre, my heart lifted and I burst into a the arts, big smile. It was clear that something special was unfolding. I was instantly transported, engaged, and swept up in the thrill of the event. When I returned to Canada I started making inquiries — locally. tracking down the playwright and the theatre producers. It is a dream come true for me to bring a great new play from this beloved theatre to our stage. We are committed to being world curious here at the Grand Theatre and this production is the first of many international productions to come. This fine company of artists joins us in the middle of their tour, which began in October in Arizona and has been touring on the us West Coast. We are the only Canadian stop on their journey, and following their time here, they head directly to the Kennedy Center in Washington, dc. We are truly in fine company. Barber Shop Chronicles dazzles on every level — but what I will always remember is how powerful a story can be when it is presented directly and honestly, with a whole pile of theatrical fun.
