No More "They"—only "We"!

When I met the Constellation members and the other participants at the Global Learning Festival on Day Zero, 19 November 2012, I positioned myself initially as someone SIAAP had asked to report on the event. However, I had to renounce my carefully constructed identity soon. During my conversation with Philip and then with my documentation team, I realized that I cannot be an outsider to this process. I have to be a participant-observer. There will be no more “They,” only “We”! If we all participate and relate as fellow humans, where is the space for “us” and “them”? Only an all-inclusive “We.”

Therefore, my observations here come from my location as an active participant-observer. But since this was my introduction to CLCP, I hope I have some fresh insights to offer.
