Rolling Earth, movement education

(I created this activity with the help of Charley MacMartin, Nick Bedell, Emily Schnee, and Roberta Silver for a meeting of labor educators, mostly from the US and Canada, at the 2001 Labor Notes conference. It is inspired by a chart used in Training for Transformation (comparing teaching approaches), but without the didactic "here's what we want you to think” approach that the authors (ironically) use.)

Welcome.
Boston, 2000, lunchbreak at a small convention center during a one day conference sponsored by the Association for Union Democracy and Carpenters for a Democratic Union (CDU) for a hundred plus members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters from Boston and around the US.

As it should always be, given the subject matter.

Let's hope not. Here's what this site is for:

To publish "The Workers' Inspiration: Popular Education for Union Democracy " a handbook of educational strategy and technique for workers, activists and educators, based on my work at The Association for Union Democracy.
