A number of people have asked me recently about the pilot project I am working on in Haiti. The project combines "reciprocal mentoring" (Canadian and Haitian principals), digital technology (iPads, Blackberries, web-based resources), and leadership training. I am excited that Conestoga College students are planning to develop a documentary film around the project!
The project has incredible potential so if you would like to find more, click below:

"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
