LC149.L57 1991374.012 C91-092044-3 3 Well beforeLITERACY 2000: MAKE THE NEXT TEN YEPIIS MATTERhappened, we described this conference as a place where innovative reseatch, practise, and program models would be highlighted. We wanted to organize a forum for the people behind many of the initiatives sparked (and funded) by the occasion of UNESCO's International Literacy Yro. By directing our collective attention towald the next ten years, we chose to see 1990 as a moment not ony for celebration but for change. This is why we wantedLITERACY 2000 to be issue-oriented ... an opportunity for promoting debate and discussion. This same focus has been followed in preparing the conference report Workshop descriptions, which reflect questions currently raised in the adult basic education field, are reproduced from the original conference catalogue. Workshop facilitator'notes have been summarized. Presentations made at plenary sessions by the key-note speaker, panelists, and tracker are also included. You will find that participants' comments, taken from response cards filled out duringLITERACY 2000,ate quoted throughout. But most of what you will read are papers written by conference presenters bpecifically for this publication. These have been edited for length and clarity. Many of you wanted us to describe the conference design, particularly the tracking process, so a critique has been included with recommendations for ways to improve this 'experiment'. As well, we report on inifiatives which are a direct outcome of the conference. While we cannot trace the various changes in individuals' thinking and practise which undoubtedly occur when people meet together at conferences, these changes are no less significant than an organization's efforts. That LITERACY 2000 has been a catalyst for future cooperative endeavors and the organization of working- groups who are beginning to address issues in depth, pleases us greatly. This, after all, was our intent. Any report of an event risks becoming an artefact, even before it is published. Despite this limitation, we hope you will find the contents useful. Material has been organized by theme for easier reference.

  • The Way It Is
    The way it is By Ajahn Sumedho 1 Ajahn Sumedho 2 Venerable Ajahn Sumedho is a bhikkhu of the Theravada school of Buddhism, a tradition that prevails in Sri Lanka and S.E. Asia. In this last century, its clear and practical teachings have been well received in the West as a source of understanding and peace that stands up to the rigorous test of our current age. Ajahn Sumedho is himself a Westerner having been born in Seattle, Washington, USA in 1934. He left the States in 1964 and took bhikkhu ordination in Nong Khai, N.E. Thailand in 1967. Soon after this he went to stay with Venerable Ajahn Chah, a Thai meditation master who lived in a forest monastery known as Wat Nong Pah Pong in Ubon Province. Ajahn Chah’s monasteries were renowned for their austerity and emphasis on a simple direct approach to Dhamma practice, and Ajahn Sumedho eventually stayed for ten years in this environment before being invited to take up residence in London by the English Sangha Trust with three other of Ajahn Chah’s Western disciples. The aim of the English Sangha Trust was to establish the proper conditions for the training of bhikkhus in the West. Their London base, the Hampstead Buddhist Vihara, provided a reasonable starting point but the advantages of a more gentle rural environment inclined the Sangha to establishing a forest monastery in Britain. This aim was achieved in 1979, with the acquisition of a ruined house in West Sussex subsequently known as Chithurst Buddhist Monastery or Cittaviveka.

  • Stephen King * the Mist
    Stephen King * The Mist I. The Coming of the Storm. This is what happened. On the night that the worst heat wave in northern New England history finally broke-the night of July 19-the entire western Maine region was lashed with the most vicious thunderstorms I have ever seen. We lived on Long Lake, and we saw the first of the storms beating its way across the water toward us just before dark. For an hour before, the air had been utterly still. The American flag that my father put up on our boathouse in 1936 lay limp against its pole. Not even its hem fluttered. The heat was like a solid thing, and it seemed as deep as sullen quarry-water. That afternoon the three of us had gone swimming, but the water was no relief unless you went out deep. Neither Steffy nor I wanted to go deep because Billy couldn't. Billy is five. We ate a cold supper at five-thirty, picking listlessly at ham sandwiches and potato salad out on the deck that faces the lake. Nobody seemed to want anything but Pepsi, which was in a steel bucket of ice cubes. After supper Billy went out back to play on his monkey bars for a while. Steff and I sat without talking much, smoking and looking across the sullen flat mirror of the lake to Harrison on the far side. A few powerboats droned back and forth. The evergreens over there looked dusty and beaten. In the west, great purple thunderheads were slowly building up, massing like an army.

  • Practicing Democracy Final Report by Jennifer Girard, Outreach Coordinator
    Practicing Democracy Final Report by Jennifer Girard, Outreach Coordinator Outreach involves any activity that generated momentum for this “experiment in Legislative Theatre”. This included making links with community organizers, maintaining contacts through outgoing communications, attending events, keeping organized records, and generally building a high profile for the project. While outreach is a collaborative effort, my goals are not only that people not only come out in droves, but they also bring to it an awareness and enthusiasm for it’s scope. My hope is that our audiences are keen to actively join us in Practicing Democracy. January 2003 David had conversations with City staff and councilors at City Hall who know and support Headlines' work. February Vancouver City Council announced their support of the project. I wrote our first announcement in the newsletter. March We constructed a plan for how to distribute the poll. I made an initial contact assessment in particular, who is in our database and where are the most current contacts. We began the ongoing process of gathering letters of support. This month, support letters came from Junie Desil at the kinex Youth Initiative (a project of the Self Help Resources Association) and Tanya Davis, Youth Driven Coordinator (a project of Environmental Youth Alliance). April David, Dylan and I met with Councilors Woodsworth and Cadman. Together we came up with four topics that would be relevant to Council in March of 2004 and have "currency" in a theatrical form. Then we devised a poll form to ask residents of Vancouver to select a topic for the show.

  • 3HM-15K Honors Project
    Three Hard Misses To Fifteen Kisses Melody Johnson “Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.” ~The Wizard of Oz One Monday The basement was a dustier version of the wreck I’d ignored nine months ago. I stood rooted at the bottom of our basement stairs, transfixed in horror and clutching the cold, chipped, metal banister as I absorbed the monstrosity of what used to be my father’s bedroom. I couldn’t sort through this crap with a hired search and rescue team, an unlimited supply of Aderoll, and with my sanity intact even if I made a deal with Al Pacino let alone by the end of the summer, I thought miserably. Frank could have labeled each box with his harsh, slashing handwriting, taped their flaps securely with clear packaging tape, and stashed them in his girlfriend’s basement when he moved in with her nine years ago. He could have at least stacked them neatly and covered them with a garbage bag in the corner of Mama Margoe’s basement instead of leaving them scattered randomly over the cement floor to collect dust— a couple on the rug next to the slanted planks he’d used for book shelves, five in a precarious pile near the bed, one on the desk— so when he died last fall, Margoe’s claim that the boxes were, “just fine as they are, for heaven’s sake Patricia,” could have been legitimate. I hadn’t rummaged through them when he left. While he’d been with Susan it had felt like an invasion of privacy, as if he might have returned for them or might have needed them or might have realized that he belonged back here with us.
