" Nick Booth and Steve Bridger and we discussed the idea of Free Agents in the UK. Nick said they existed but they used a different phrase, "Militant Optimists" - a term that was inspired by the book "handmade" by Tessy Britton and coined by Dave Barrie. Nick describes them as " People doing good things because it made sense to it. They get on with it regardless of what the system says." Interesting, challenging but remarkable people Steve Bridger also pointed another type of Free Agent, working from the inside of NGOs called a positive disruptor. "

The theme that spoke to Teresa so strongly from The Drowned Cities was the effect of psychological abuse on children.

"Jay Cross, the author of the seminal work on informal learning, defines informal learners as follows "....informal learners usually set their own learning objectives. They learn when they feel a need to know. The proof of their learning is their ability to do something they could not do before. Informal learning often is a pastiche of small chunks of observing how others do things, asking questions, trial and error, sharing stories with others and casual conversation." "

"The term is also used to address human-technology mixtures in the abstract. This includes artifacts that may not popularly be considered technology; for example, pen and paper, and speech and language. Augmented with these technologies, and connected in communication with people in other times and places, a person becomes capable of much more than they were before. This is like computers, which gain power by using Internet protocols to connect with other computers. Cybernetic technologies include highways, pipes, electrical wiring, buildings, electrical plants, libraries, and other infrastructure that we hardly notice, but which are critical parts of the cybernetics that we work withi"

"People are finding coaching where they need it, community where they want it, and lectures and demonstrations for those days when they have the time. "

Wow! "Education is an excellent tool if used properly" How did one so young see the fallibility of the system so completely?

"The Creed Project introduced me to a new style of learning where I went deeper and studied myself. . . . The project also taught me a lot about being careful about judging other people. Some of my classmates who presented were people I thought I knew, but after listening to them talk about themselves and what they stand for, I've found that there is so much more to them than I could have ever imagined. - Elyse Kirker, American High School, June 2003"
