One of the main feedback from the April 2016 event from the participants was the appreciation of people coming together to reflect and talk about their work. Many participants expressed their frustrations and exhaustion from keeping up with administrative and funding requirements leading them to sometimes forget what they were trying to do in their work. A gathering with like-minded people who share an interest in adult literacy could bring new perspectives into our practice and rejuvenate our underlying enthusiasm for social justice.
Meetup groups will be established in various neighbourhoods or regions provided that there is someone interested in taking on the task to organize the meetup activities. Initial interests have been expressed by Matthias Sturm from AlphaPlus in Toronto and Christine Pinsent-Johnson from Ottawa. The Festival organizers will attend the meetup groups as often as possible for the purpose of documenting and disseminating the discussions from the groups.
