"Becoming disabled demands learning how to live effectively as a person with disabilities, not just living as a disabled person trying to become nondisabled. It also demands the awareness and cooperation of others who don't experience these challenges. Becoming disabled means moving from isolation to community, from ignorance to knowledge about who we are, from exclusion to access, and from shame to pride."
Play and recess to support social-emotional learning | Playworks - 0 views

This is an organization in Baltimore that sends play and game coaches to urban schools to facilitate non competitive recess play. The main/original intention was to minimize poor behavior and frequent student discipline, and now seeks to address further community building skills. They teach to teachers and school staff, but not so much to neighborhoods -unless specifically hired. I have participated in some games with other adults and found it completely appropriate. Game listings included here.
Sacred Playground: Adult Play and Transformation at Burning Man - Sarah Megan Heller - ... - 0 views

The primary argument presented here is that if we conceptualize play as a mood, and if this mood can increase social learning and cultural adaptation, we must question why this mood is often repressed in adulthood. In the course of my research I came to describe my field site as a sacred playground. The place is especially meaningful to those who participate year after year, becoming experts in particular play practices, adopting the ethos of play that predominates in this community, and endeavoring to spread their ethos and practices to other locations

JOTS v26n1 - Appropriate Technology for Socioeconomic Development in Third World Countries - 0 views
-
Worsening socioeconomic conditions in the Third World have underscored the urgency of implementing a development path that de-emphasizes growth and technological monoculture. The technological orientation of this development paradigm has been variously called intermediate, progressive, alternative, light-capital, labor-intensive, indigenous, appropriate, low-cost, community, soft, radical, liberatory, and convivial technology. However, appropriate technology, for reasons to be addressed later, has emerged as the allembracing rubric representing the viewpoints associated with all the other terms.

From Gandhi's perspective, any concern with goods requires mass production, but concern with people necessitates production by the masses. The Charkha (spinning wheel) was Gandhi's ideal appropriate technology device, and he saw in it a symbol of freedom, self-reliance, and a technical means that was right for India. The idea of technology discriminately enriching a minority of people at the expense of the majority or putting masses of people out of work to increase profit was in Gandhi's view counterproductive and unacceptable. However, Gandhi was not uncompromising in his rejection of large-scale, capital-intensive industrial enterprises. Modern-sector industrial development, in Gandhi's view, should supplement and reinforce the development of small-scale industries and agriculture in the hinterland.

The rationale was that with appropriate technology the chances of its acceptance by those for whom it was intended would be greatly improved.
