Massimo de Angelis report on the Yasuni’s struggle against petroleum extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, based and inspired by their “Mother Earth” related deity Pochamama, clearly discusses the same links we discuss in our section on neotraditional economics, and why these linkages between pre-industrial and post-industrial thinking and practices are important, see here for details. First, the question of use and access of land, of who has access and who can use it, the question of the community of commoners . Massimo De Angelis on the role of Pochama : “Pochamama is the deity of Andean origin and refers to “mother earth”, not just as geological earth or nature but also as a set of relations, a deity of reproduction, a protective rather than creative deity or perhaps better, a deity for which human creation is just a moment of a reproduction cycle.

Since the product of their labor does not have an exchange value, but a use value for a community of users, it is characterized by the production and distribution of the product of labor outside the market sphere (a post-capitalist form of the organization of production). that permits energy flows from many to many, - that is based on the voluntary participation of independent individual producers, households or communities, - who ideally use renewable sources safeguarding this way a long term sustainability and ecological balance.

The Best from the Communities and Networks Connection Community

In the latter half of 2008, we worked with a number of companies to establish communities of practice. In training the people with key roles in the communities (such as the coordinator, core team members and those with support roles outside the communities) a common question arose..."what Nonetheless, we have had a crack at listing the four things that community coordinators should focus on to get things going: what do we do first?" Of Of
The swan is slowly transforming from a grey into a white swan. I'm interested in the transformation phase in communities of practice. Most materials deal with the start-up phase of communities of practice. second reason for my interest in the topic is that I have handed over the facilitation of the ecollaboration community to another team, at the same time as my co-facilitator Sibrenne Wagenaar. This is the young swan swimming in the waters near our house (there is a lot of water in our area, something which made a Malian friend exclaim that this is a very dangerous place!).
In our first post on Communities of Practice (CoPs) we disabused ourselves of the confusion between a community and the platform that allows a community to interact together online. Is a “class” or “cohort of learners” a community?  If the group continues to learn after the course is over, the course then becomes the catalyst This is the fifth in a series of blog posts I wrote for  Darren Sidnick .

One of them was: how can blogs support communities of practice? community of practice can have a public teamblog. It works for the community to document face-to-face meetings, and makes it publicly known. In a discussion about the future of the community, it came up as an object of identification with the community. (Cartoon via tangwailing blog ) I observed that Stan Garfield blogs about questions he receives or overhears about knowledge management. That made me think that I could blog some of the questions I get (+ the answers).
The is the fourth post exploring more about Community, Domain and Practice aspects of CoPs mentioned in the first post of this series on communities of practice (CoPs). This is the “where the rubber meets the road” leg of the stool, Practice . They are about learning and putting that learning to practice, and learning from that practice in an ongoing This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick . I

Some of the anecdotes that were not true were: eskimos have 100-s of words for snow cat survives ride in washing-machine you can breed 'bonsai' kittens by breeding them in a pot While working with people on communities of practice I've encountered similar convictions about communities of practice that are not true, but are nevertheless quite persistent. community of practice is an online platform I think people who belief in this myth do know that there are people interacting through the online platform, yet they are blinded to this fact by focusing on the
On the learning conversations blog I found a video interview with Etienne Wenger in which he answers quite some basic questions about communities of practices in organisation. What they are, when not to foster them (they are not a panacee), how sponsorship of communities in an organisation differs from managing communities. Highlights: think about communities when there is a dynamic Practitioners need to be in the lead. When there is a clear knowledge gap, just produce a manual.
Community Leadership in Learning - bees, mentors, coaches, experts and friends  When we dream of community learning, we often have this idyllic fantasy that they justwork. But when we open our eyes and think of the wasteland of fossilized or never-really-happened learning communities, of the dead web discussion forums, reality hits.
