I was thinking about the collective conscience. What do they know of each other\u2019s fears, anxieties and experience. I was also reminded of a conversation I had with the \u2018bearded baker\u2019 a friend and pastry chef. We spoke about the point and value of deconstructing recipes to then rebuild them in a new or slightly altered form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gave me the constructivist scaffold with which to talk\nabout my passion and my experience within my time so far at the university. It\nalso allowed me to ask the delegates their impressions of meaning. I asked for\na response to the question what is knowledge? And then what is learning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s vital that within any learning environment we\ncontinue to challenge the perceptions of others and more so\u2026. our perceptions.\nIt is vital because it can challenge ignorance born or nurtured within us or\nwithin others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then used the next smaller break out session to develop\nand construct the poem below: the shape and the tempo is all meant. It was\ndiscussed that the shape of the poem should be moving and the middle stanzas\nshould be read in a mechanistic \u2018cog turning\u2019 tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole process has been so cathartic as I finally got to speak that voice that I hold back. The voice of many trapped in boxes. Slowly accepting the negative perceptions during many attempts to try something different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/partnersinlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/481\/2020\/01\/PiL-Conference-poem.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/partnersinlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/481\/2020\/01\/PiL-Conference-poem.png 384w, https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/partnersinlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/481\/2020\/01\/PiL-Conference-poem-198x300.png 198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong> The Murmuring of deconstruction,<\/strong><\/p><p> POWER<br> 150543<br> Assimilation<br> Division<br> Acquiring <br> Exclusion <br> \u00a0<br> There is a still small voice, A connection within,<br> The transient waters move by carrying the present<br> The movement of the self, unchecked.<br> Gathered together in the trees sharing the promise of the seasons<br> \u00a0<br> POWER<br> Process<br> 150543<br> Obtain <br> Transfer<br> \u00a0<br> Loving the exploration of the spaces between,<br> What is it that hold together the known and unknown,<br> Growing and moving across the skyline with your community<br> Reacting to the reflections in the water<br> \u00a0<br> Facts <br> Interests <br> Ambition<br> 150543<br> Comprehension<br> Value<br> \u00a0<br> Oscillating with a sense of change <br> Excited by the joys of transformation and becoming<br> To make a place of sense and warmth with others<br> Edging close to a sense of the divine<br> \u00a0 <br> Felt <br> Joy <br> Protection<br> Mutability<br> 150543<br> Empowered<br> Change<br> Me<br> \u00a0<br> Leading us together in shared purpose<br> A part of something real, something now<br> Not a stagnant cup of captured thought<br> A big part of the question<br> Thinking\u2026.<br> 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3<br> \u00a0<br> What is knowledge?<br> What is learning? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>What an amazing opportunity, a small intimate and valued symposium. We opened and closed with the \u2018ode to the breadbasket\u2019 and in the time we had together we painted a picture of potential. A feeling of awareness and grace. A small but real activist voice focused on the denegation of perceived power and the rise of alternatives. Like the murmur, we flexed and pulsated. We moved in an unsynchronised harmony.
