Summary

What does education and research look like? What does it look like as an intention? Using lived experience as an example, the workshop will explore intention on the gain for knowledge, and how protocols come into play to accessing knowledge from people/groups/land. While this is a workshop in some ways, in many others, it is not as it will be a shared discussion of our human experience, of the known community of the planet Earth.
