Social and Economic Transformation

I believe that many South Africans are seeking social and economic independence and security by trying to create their own businesses, often due to financial insecurity, unemployment and/or poverty. Creating self employment has many hardships and obstacles that are at times almost insurmountable. I believe that the development of entrepreneurs needs to be treated with a sense of urgency in order to speed up the rate of social and economic transformation because of the lack of employment and the high rate of poverty in Durban South Africa.

SeStuTHESA

This afternoon's SeStuTHESA workshop has been another afternoon of stimulation, discussion, argument and learning. Chris was tasked to teach us more about the use of our blogspots. I particularly wanted to learn more on blogspots because of my Wednesday NVC group's lessons that I give on blogspots. We are using their blogs as a marketing tool for their business marketing strategy. I have come to learn today so that I can go back and teach blogging. In the process I also downloaded PICASA to manage my photo's in order to make it easier to upload on blogs. Then I also added RSS to my outlook so that any posting from my blog and SeStuTHESA blog will come up automatically as an email.
For me this has been a very majo learning and educational experience today. Everything I have learnt today I will aplly practically.

Yesterday Joan gave us a handout of a few pages from Schon, The Reflective Practitioner. The handouts we get and advice on reading are invaluable to me and I take them as a generous gift from Joan.

On a lighter note, I enjoy the teasing and joking, comraderie and argument. If I don't know something and need to ask, I never feel stupid. I am never afraid to ask what may appear to be a naive or uneducated question. I am never afraid to be myself in this space. I feel surrounded by a bubble of friendship and a nurturing educational experience.
