WEEK 6 (2): Elements of Collaboration

 1. What impact did the discussion have on you or what was interesting or useful?

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet my group and I feel sorry for that because this is actually what is necessary to keep growing and working on our assignments. Benefiting from the enriching experiences of the group, getting the best of their views and specially the good vibes you feel from them. 

The impact in this sense is definitely the sense of "something missing" , I usually complement my readings and analysis with the experiences of my team members but this time I didn't have the chance to share with them how important I consider their views to make my assignments complete. There is always something new and different that always add up. 

2. What ideas did you discuss that you would like to remember or to continue to think about?

Definitely the idea of working on developing empathy in our students, in our communities, in our organizations. We can see in our country nowadays how important placing ourselves in the shoes of others is; most people are not doing it, we still think individually and this is what is killing lots of people. We have a big challenge before us and it is imperative that we all sit together to design plans to implement moments in class in which we can reflect on this and find ways to transform people for better. We need to feel we belong, we need to feel included, we need to feel identified so we can start working for a common benefit.
