The Market Place

The Market Place was a wonderful event. It was full of energy and enthusiasm. People talked about the work that they were doing and were proud of. There was talking and there were questions and people learned-and-shared. And the people came from all over the world. From India, of course: but also from Belgium, Burundi, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, The Democratic Republic of Congo,......the list goes on and on. If anyone were to ask us why we called this event a 'Global Learning Festival', you need do no more than point to the Market Place.

The following pages give more detail on what happened at the Market Place, who participated and what people thought of the day. We hope very much that you include something like the Market Place in your own Learning Festival or Knowledge Fair.
