"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.

Digital Mentoring Update
I continue to work on the grant application for the CIDA Partners for Development project in Haiti. The key aspects of the grant application are: developing teaching/leadership modules which will be delivered to people's cell-phones, establishing digital hubs where these modules can be developed and delivered, and establishing a model school which can serve as a base for training and resource development. Two partners in Haiti who are working with me on the project are Baptist Haiti Mission and Project Teach/Konbit Pwof. The grant due date is October 13, just before I leave for a block of training in Fermathe, Haiti. If you have suggestions, ideas, or connections that you think would be valuable for me as I develop the proposal, please email me: ssider@wlu.ca
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
