Open learning communities
Diana Franco Eguren 2024ko uztailaren 03a

There is a model that I really like, where people can share our knowledge and experiences, and where anyone who wants to learn is welcome whenever they are respectful of the character of the community. They're open learning communities. I like these structures to prevent power relations in general, and the participants seek to gather and make known the knowledge that is being worked on within the different communities. These communities can happen both physically and digitally, and you're often going to understand and assimilate that they share a code of conduct, even if it's sometimes not written. I have traveled several “horny” communities, I went in and out, depending on the time I have and the desire to learn. I love the New York Resistors code of conduct, especially the following paragraph: “We want all people to feel comfortable asking questions, demonstrating things and making mistakes.” Seeing what I've been seeing in life, those who are most likely to make mistakes in the learning process are the ones who have acquired the most ability to get the highest levels of knowledge. The exploration and mistakes of an open learning community, coupled with the possibility of comparing your curiosity with the people who share, give a good deal. The group Librezale.eus launched a few years ago the Free Software channel, via Matrix and Telegram, where you learn a lot with what you share. I'm not active in the group, but I always look at him to learn things. On the other hand, next September, from 26 to 29, the URL 1 of 2024 will be held in the Barrio Gaztaño de Rentería. In both cases, technology is critically thought and done and multiple reflection profiles are put together around these issues. Therefore, we have the excuse to start taking the first steps in open learning communities, as long as, as in all learning courses, we measure strength and expectations.
