In the latest article in the Reimagining Community series, we look at the ideas behind the Network State and how they work with our reimagined community. Enjoy!

Happily listened to this👇 podcast yesterday; I found most of it highly relevant to my work in #Local #PublicHealth. Some take-aways: - We've evolved to expect #institutions to support health and wellbeing first, which just isn't doable/sustainable. How can we shift to set #communities up to do much more, with institutions as a support? With each, we might privilege different types of knowing/knowledge. - This emphasis on institutions has an impact on #HealthyAging--in retirement we are thrown back into community after a lifetime of institutions, with very different sets of values. This is not an easy shift and doesn't set older adults up to thrive. - It is essential to focus at the #neighbourhood level to find our responses to the #polycrisis - We need to foreground relationships and community--and relationships *in* community (rather than just those in the institution/workplace). - In addition to whatever field we're working in, we "need a pedagogy which, basically, is about how to work with communities, and that should be a foundational pedagogy, on top of which technical pedagogies are built. In the absence of that, what you have is a very individualized, and very technocratic way of doing business..." - Let's be engaged learners in the community (i.e., do community engagement)--don't be institutional centric. I'm catching up on past episodes and they shared some hopes for future ones: examples of what people are doing on wellbeing and health, examples of resident-led initiatives, principles of community-engaged learning, the justice system, aging, and the importance of relationships with the land. Looking forward to listening.

Yesterday's nourishing reflection on accessibility got me thinking more of alt text - and how listening to TV with descriptive audio has helped me experience and learn to write more useful alt text. https://lnkd.in/eYvkUm7k

In this next article in the Reimagining Community series, I talk about its similarities and differences between a Network State. Enjoy!
