New website, new logo, new leadership.
Welcome to the new blog site for the Community-based Global Learning Collaborative!
Over the next days and weeks, will keep filling in the blog posts from our former site, but for now this post serves as a welcome to the new site and an announcement of some exciting changes at The Community-based Global Learning Collaborative.
New Leadership: The Collaborative shares leadership with three co-directors: Eric Hartman, ED, Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, Haverford College, Samantha Brandauer, Associate Provost and ED Center for Global Study and Engagement, Dickinson College, and Sarah Stanlick, Faculty and Director of the Great Problems Seminar, Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
New Logo: We are unveiling our new logo (above), which was co-created with input from membership on our values and imagery. Graphic designer Lorelle Adames used that feedback to create the global branding you see above, with ribbons of land denoting the iterative, co-creative process we engage to support more just, inclusive, sustainable communities.
New Website. Our new web presence http://www.cbglcollab.org/ is revamped and ready to welcome new visitors. Keep up with the latest in our blog posts, access relevant resources, contribute knowledge from your context, and connect with ongoing learning opportunities.
And… if all of that was not exciting enough, we have an institute on the horizon! “CBGL Institute: Cultivating Community in Contested Spaces”, June 2-3, 2022, @ Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA. Join us for this gathering of scholar-practitioners to connect and co-create with individuals dedicated to advancing ethical, critical, aspirationally decolonial community-based learning. Learn from leading edge program models advancing community-based, ethical engagement, at home and abroad. Apply insights and critical reflection to your own institution, context, and/or program model, workshopping with supportive colleagues. Register here
