*** REVISED ATTACHMENT ***

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On October 17, the ‘Big Tent’ group of regional and global community engagement networks held their second global video dialogue.  The PASCAL International Observatory at the University of Glasgow hosted the event with Rajesh Tandon, GACER Chair  and PRIA Presenident and Michael Osborne, PASCAL Director and Professor of Adult Education sharing the hosting roles.

The focus of this second global dialogue is a “Future Scenario for Community University Research and Engagement”.  This statement is available for free distribution throughout your institutions and networks.

We would of course be interested in hearing from you if you find that it has been useful within the various policy circles that you are part of.

There are plans to significantly expand the participation in the Third Global Dialogue that will most likely take the form of a webinar at the time of the 5”Th International Conference of the Living Knowledge Network, May 9-12 in Bonn, Germany.

Sent on behalf of all the members of the ‘Big Tent’ group,


Budd
