The next meeting or the Urban-Rural Learning Initiative LCN will feature a presentation by Professor Barry Golding about diversifying the Men's Sheds movement. Barry will speak at the commencement of our meeting and others are welcome to join. 

The presentation will be during the first part of the meeting, followed by opportunities for questions. Details are as follows:

Learning from Men’s Sheds: Reflecting on the movement’s Australian origins, global trajectories & its radical implications for learning in the community

Date: Thursday 24 March 

Time: 10 pm (AEDT); 11 am (GM); 6 am (CDT)

Barry Golding playfully created the idea of 'shedagogy' 8 years ago, having discovered community 'Men's Sheds' by chance through his field research in rural Australia 20 years ago.

Barry become entranced with the power and potential of the now-global movement, that a decade ago logically morphed also into 'Women's Sheds'. He has deeply immersed himself in research into learning in informal community contexts as an international researcher and community advocate.

This presentation,' Learning from Men’s Sheds: Reflecting on the movement’s Australian origins, global trajectories and its radical implications for learning in the community illustrates Barry's contention that we can learn much from looking at learning in the least obvious, small rural communities, powered by the most unlikely group of older people in the community, transforming their lives well beyond the formal and the academy.

Registration: Any PASCAL members interested in attending this presentation, who is not part of the Urban, Rural LCN please email Dr. Leone Wheeler - [email protected] for meeting details and see below for specifics.
