In this episode of The (Re)generative Education Podcast I chat with dr. Celiane Camargo-Borges, senior lecturer at Breda University of Applied Sciences where she is active amongst others thing with the masters Imagineering that focusses on social innovation. She is also associated faculty with the Taos Institute where she teaches and guides PhDs with social constructionist projects. Celiane brings her unique perspective of relationshippping and nurturing relationships as key elements or conditions for learning. The power and difficulty of relational approaches to education according to Celiane lies in challenging underlying mental models and perspectives that drive current practice. In her education she works with the TRIAL Framework – Transformative, Reflexive, Inspirational, Adaptive & Leadership - as the overaching competencies for engaging in societal and systemic change.
In this discussion the following systemic barriers and opportunities emerged:
- The fundamental link between action and learning by doing.
- The power of constructing teams from a lot of different backgrounds to tackle complex challenges.
- The power of design approaches to bring the philosophy of social/relational constructionism into practice.
- Being in service of a challenge and the community that is serves.
- The power of pushing the university system towards a more relational approach one step at a time.
- The need for designing spaces to prepare students to learn, because they are now only prepared to pass tests.
- The weight of reality makes changing it difficult but not impossible.
- Small changes in our actions can create systemic change.
- The importance of creating a vibrant community – with belonging and feeling like being part of a group.
- The importance of diving into intercultural aspects of this form of relational education.
