The Elephant Times

Tide~ on-line 'magazine'

Building a network - Making connections

There is a need for new initiative to respond to the educational challenges of 2020-2021. Challenges for example that emerge from uncertainty about the global impact of Covid-19, the positive messages of Black Lives Matter, the urgent need to engage with climate change issues and concerns about, for example, international relationships [globally and in Europe]; and UK international development priorities [with the winding up of DfID].

There is a need to make connections that enable learners to engage, now and in the future, with many global realities.

The Tide~ AGM Issue of The Elephant Times will be the last in this format.

It takes stock of this first year and introduces two new Tide~ opportunities:

Commonwealth Awareness Initiative
Connecting Dialogues

It also features articles by Sarah Snyder and Harriet Marshall -

and a conversation about Elif Shafak's 'How to stay sane in a world of division'

Why ‘Elephant Times’? Deep in the DEC/ Tide~ archive [from 1984] we find The Elephant Times newsletter. This title was inspired by a rewrite, by Robin Richardson, of an ancient Indian fable to highlight the fragmented curriculum and the need for connection and cooperation between different areas of innovation.
